A new shot of Takara Tomy Legends Soundwave and his minions has popped up on Twitter courtesy of TF_pr. Soundwave shows off his additional paint and his minions (Laserbeak and Ravage) get some love too. All of these guys are set to release at the end of December in Japan. Check the pic and join the discussion on the forums after the break!

You're totally right. I have both the Hasbro and Takara versions and never even noticed. Thanks!

Yeah it came with LG Soundwave

Don't know if this has been covered previously, but why is it that some eBay listings have LG37 Ravage pictured with this black version (Soundblaster colors) of the Soundwave head? I believe they all came packaged with Bullhorn right? Was the black Soundwave head ever produced officially?

This might be off topic, but I'm trying to hunt for RID Warrior class Thermidor and I can't find him. I have seen him a few times on eBay, but I wasn't able to get him on time.

I've gotten tons, they're usually in zip locked baggies and then packed in bubble wrap or packing foam. But yeah, it's a risk you'll be taking. Also, ordering from China there's the risk of KOs, especially when they don't show pictures of the actual product. I personally don't know if Titan Force Brainstorm has been KOed but it would surprise me, to be honest.
Walgreens is definitely the safest and likely the cheapest route.

Yeah, you're probably right. Besides, I got Titans Return Chromedome, so why shell out $80+ for a Deluxe and a set of 6 Headmasters when all I'll really need is the one head?
(Temptation…rising)
…I mean, I kind of don't like the sound of "Loose Figure". It makes me think it'll be mangled and such. Have you ever gotten a loose figure via eBay? How do you know if it'll be protected by the time it comes to you?
Eh, maybe I should just play the safe route and just stick with the Walgreens one.
Soundwinder
Sounds like you should scour eBay for the Titan Force Brainstorm. Its blue is a bit different from either version, closer to the T30 blue rather than TR's blue-green (File:TitansReturntoy-BrainstormTitanForce.jpg – Transformers Wiki). You can buy it now for $35 shipped or try your luck bidding. titan force brainstorm | eBay

Depends on what country you live in… if USA, best deal is Titans Return Brainstorm at Walgreens ($17.99 + shipping)
Personally I went with TR Brainstorm (from Walgreens) and picked up the Brainstorm Reprolabels kit because I just love all the extra teal highlights it gives him.
TargetmasterJoe
Hey, I'm kind of in a pickle.
I really want to get a Brainstorm, but I really don't know what'd be a better value for me. Am I better off with:
or…
Assume that I just want a good-looking face-plated Brainstorm.

Is Takara's Optimus mistransformed, or are his feet that badly mangled?

Love his blue, but the black wings look really strange to me, and I can't deal with Brainstorm with a face (or Hardhead with a faceplate)

Had to cancel Soundwave and his tapes for now. Not in love with any of those molds. Blaster is fun but the others are pretty mediocre if not plain bad. They're on the back burner for a while for me.

someone did it here Legends Soundwave, Jaguar/Bullhorn, Condor/Apeface, Brainstorm, Astrotrain, Ginrai

Does anyone here have SDCC and LG Brainstorm? I'd love to see the heads swapped.

I got Brainstorm today; even though I'm not attached the Headmasters cartoon colors of Brainstorm it's definitely my favorite of the three decos HasTak has released.
SouthtownKid
Takara's Deluxe Brainstorm wins for me, because it best captures a character from the cartoons. Not the particular cartoon I'd most like to see captured from, but at least A cartoon.

1987 is missing.
