    Default JP Legends 44-46 revealed

    BBTS just put up some preorders for a LG Sharkticon, Hot Rodimus and Kup. Of note is Hotrod and Kup are listed as Targetmasters.

    There aren't any images yet, and these look like they might be released in September (Dinosaurer/Trypticon is LG43 in August).

    The "Targetmaster" for Kup and Hot Rodimus might have a modification to be actual Targetmasters, or is just the name to note them as being the newer "master" versions, from their earlier Henkei/United versions. (like Leader class Powermaster Optimus not being an actual Powermaster, but just looking like that 80s toy)

    They possibly come with the TM vehicles like some of the earlier LG versions of the TR line

    Interesting to note that Sharkticon comes with Sweep as well. So if you like the comic and want some spare sweep heads you can army build both Sharky and sweeps. Though in the legends world, there are only 6 Sweeps (including Scourge).

    Personally I hope that the Targetmaster guys come with something better than those stupid TM vehicles.

    At first I thought those Targetmasters were retools or re-uses of Arms Microns. It turns out that they're totally new molds.

    Even though this version of Kup is grey, I like it a lot better than the Titans Return version. His face sort of reminds me of Rokusaburo Michiba.

    I wonder why Kup is all grey. Was he grey in the JP Headmasters cartoon.

    Whoever decided/approved the colours might've been going off degraded source material from the Headmasters anime.
    Apparently it's referencing inaccurate colours from Five Faces of Darkness/The Rebirth. Seems odd, whatever.

    Even though Kup turned out a bit odd, I can appreciate the effort they put into these. Sharkticon looks great!
