The news on Takara’s Legends line continues as we have some stock images of their upcoming LG-30 Weirdwolf, courtesy of hobby.dengeki.com. Much like the stock images of Rewind and Nightbeat reported a couple days ago, these new images of Weirdwolf and his headmaster partner Monzo (Monxo in the US) give us a clear and relatively close look at the detailing and paintwork of both as well as the Titanmaster vehicle.
LG-30 Weirdwolf is slated for release in September and is priced at about $35.99 USD, available via our sponsors to the right. Check out the images after the jump!

Preview of a pair of galleries I've been working on in the off hours. I don't get many of them lately hence the long delay on these guys. The fact Weirdwolf has clocked in at 250+ images probably doesn't help either.

Anyone pre-order him from The Chosen Prime? If so, did you get yours already?

I really like him, especially because he is a more uniform yellow colour across the figure.View attachment 27630935

yeah, unlike Wave 1, this one just doesn't look enough better to me to justify the cost.

I see no reason to get this over the Hasbro version. :/
I do admit G2 Apeface is neato.

How else would you repaint the Apeface vehicle after the traditional Apeface colors? Although it is odd that Japan isn't releasing Apeface in his traditional colors yet so I will have to buy Hasbro's version for that.

God could you imagine if Hasbro had done something like this with recoloring apeface to match the deluxe it's being paired with? Glad the U.S is getting them separate.

It was pointed out in another thread, but it's very possible the recolour references B.O.T.
B.O.T. (episode) – Transformers Wiki
Not beyond belief – Takara have made far more obscure references than that in the past.

I love the Headmasters cartoon accurate heads too. Unfortunately, I just can't fit most of the Takara releases in my budget. I wish I could. I do however have the Takara Chromedome on pre-order. For Weirdwolf, I'm just going to have to settle for a more G1 toy influenced head. And I'm fine with that.

I'm not a fan of the yellow Apeface. It doesn't reference anything and its not as if it has to share the same colors as Weirdwolf.

This is an easy Hasbro pick for me as Hasbro's colors are surprisingly good, one might say Takara-esque. (Though this is prolly due to what looks like a new way to add color through two-piece construction this relying less on paint apps.)
And since I'm not wedded to any face design it's more about how the overall figure turns out. Both are excellent here so it's down to price.

Even though he's not much different than Hasbro's Weirdwolf, I'm still getting it because I'm loving the Headmasters-accurate heads. Not saying the Hasbro heads were bad, I just like the Headmaster designs a lot more.

Boxy heads are the best headmasters. All the curvy/almonds/trapezoid heads end up looking odd in head mode. Blurr, Scourge, Brawn, Clobber.

Looks great, but that little Apeface is such an oddity. All the other Titanmaster vehicles are generic enough that they can work in any color scheme, but this one is so blatantly G1 Apeface wearing Weirdwolf's colors.
I don't dislike it, it's just peculiar.

I thought that we could view first Legends Mindwipe pics around August /September and first preorders at BBTS and other similar shops around October/November,in your opinion I was too optimistic?

It's possible, but it most likely wouldn't be a mass retail release, most likely something similar to May mayhem or an exclusive of some kind.

The head at least rotates:

Lets see…
"LG09" Brainstorm is the first to be upgraded. His second comic appearance says that he worked hard to achieve this. My only question is if, or when, they will reissue him with the "Head Master" style packaging.
"LG21" Hardhead is obviously the second to be upgraded. His noticeable upgrade is his drone. I cannot wait to translate both his comic and bio.
"LG22" Skull is the first for the Destron side. I am curious to find out if his dragon/drone means these Headmasters were split into two sub-factions/teams. Also, I hope his feet are not that small.
"LG30" Weirdwolf looks better than I have anticipated. Same curiosity as "LG22", but I also may have to rethink who will become my favorite piece by the end of the line.
"LG31" Fortress Maximus is one I will be pondering when the time comes.
Beyond that… We have Chromedome, Highbrow, and Wipe coming around 2017. But I have to say that currently, this guy might look the best MISB. And I also think he might also look great on one's shelf.
