Misfire is likely to have a Targetmaster partner like the other recent "Targetmasters".

Six Shot looks the same as the TR version except without stickers.
All the others including Broadside have Targetmasters. So sigh I'll be rebuying Doublecross I guess.
Same :) I'm going to forgo the current Hasbro versions and wait for the TakTom ones.
One thing that's weird to me: Broadside is holding Repugnus.. Shouldn't Repugnus instead go with Doublecross? Since they're both Monsterbots?
<Thinking... thinking hard>
Ah! Takara wants you to buy Doublecross AND Broadside to complete the team.
Takara, you sly fox!
It might please people to see the Japanese Misfire has a black robot head, as the Hasbro (prototype) figure we saw at the Australian Toyfair had a pink head... which may not be the final colour, but if it is, at least the Japanese version has the more Gen1 coloured head to it.
These guys are up on HLJ for preorder

Awesome. His headmaster is Beastformer White Leo! :DQuote:

I was trying to recall who that was as it looked very familiar. For anyone else who doesn't know, this is White Leo, from the Beastformers series during Gen1 in Japan. (these toys were released in America as Battle Beasts, but were not related to Transformers in any way)Quote:

With the way TakaraTomy designers will sometimes add in things "just in case" of a future addition, I am surprised that they didn't put a post hole between the tab and the Autobot symbol (on the vehicle mode), even just to have the regular gun plug in there.
Well, I would be surprised if they don't design Haywire to plug onto Blurr, since they are going to all the trouble of creating the Targetmaster "Nebulon" in the first place, and pack it in with another toy.
To be honest, with the rarity of the Legends Blurr (commanding high prices on the secondary market), I could see TakaraTomy doing a second run to coincide with the release of Haywire... but not necessarily with any sculpting changes to accommodate Haywire - just to cash in on it, because there will be a lot more people wanting the Blurr toy now, and it is currently the hardest one to find.
Oh well. $50 says they'll just jam Haywire where his regular gun goes in vehicle mode and call it a day.
I thought about that, but I seriously doubt that there'll be enough clearance. I know there definitely wont be on the side ports with the width of that gun mode.Quote:

Just popped an order on amazon and thought whn I looked at the cart,
Phew! Thats a lotta toys at once!
I thought the movie was supposed to give me a break from the awesome legends toys.... Only 2 months break it seems.
Also on the Blurr front, perhaps there'll be a way to stick it on using the blue stand thing somehow. Should be easy enough to use as a peg.
New pics of the Headmaster/Targetmaster figures.

White Leo/Daburo looks nice!
