A report from Tokyo Toy Show 2017, care of @taaboustoybox on Twitter, suggests that at Takara-Tomy’s upcoming Transformers product presentation some silhouettes were shown of five upcoming releases. The five silhouettes shown were reportedly Overlord, Bumblebee, Seaspray, Perceptor, and Topspin. As they were just silhouettes, no further information is available at this stage on exactly what Takara-Tomy might have in store for these releases.
Furthermore, another part of the report from @taaboustoybox is that another Targetmaster is planned for a release in Japan, to follow on from Kup, Hot Rod, Triggerhappy, and Misfire. Again, according to the report this too was only shown in silhouette, but those who were there seem to think that this will be a Japanese release of Slugslinger, who may be retooled much like the others to feature a new, Japanese market exclusive Targetmaster partner.
Given we have so far only got the one report, take this with appropriate caution, however, these releases all fit into the currently established pattern for Takara-Tomy’s Legends line.

Takara show us your overlord already !
Mobb One
No way will that happen. It's Takara…you know they're going 100% Masterforce with Overlord, as is proper.
[Wing_Saber-X]
Yup. Ditto! No fish lips LSOTW Overlord face and mouth, please!
Afterburner
This will be awesome no doubt. Wish we could see more from the panel. In the past we have seen the video.
I am very hyped for Overlord after what they did with Ginrai and Sixshot.
[Wing_Saber-X]
I dunno about you but mine's already dead… :
[Wing_Saber-X]
Holy fuck. Legends Overlord?!!
Im stoked for that! Awesome one , TT!

I'd rather get Arcee Daniel.
Windsweeper II
I would be happy with hasbro Overlord, but mega and giga would make me doubt wether to get the takara version.
Thundershot
Please let Bumblebee come with Spike/Cerebros that matches Legends Max's colors….

Take it with "caution" that we'll get Legends Slugslinger even though they've done Triggerhappy and Misfire? Take it with "caution" that TakaraTomy will do Overlord? Sure sure. All of these new Legends toys are pretty much guaranteed to be real. I wouldn't start doubting now.

hahaha..
there is this saying: "Disposable Income has it's Limits"
anyway, thanks for the bigger picture of Hasbro Overlord. I didn't notice the chest hinge before.
now it's obvious it will have a function under Hasbro's release.

Yay, more Legends announcements! And nice to hear about Bumblebee, finally. And I wonder how Seaspray is going to look compared to the Hasbro version.
Mobb One
Takara will definitely do something to Overlord. They love playing up rivals so I'm sure they'll start showing off pics face to…chest against God Ginrai

I'd like too for Tak-Tom to make re-tooling for Overlord. Coz plain re-painting only will not make the figure very special for it's fans especially those who followed the Masterforce series.
On my case, I'd be contended with Hasbro version. Easy to acquire.
I'm itchin' to get a Super Ginrai but it's a bit expensive and hard to get in my country.
There's some TR Optimus Prime popping in our retail toy stores but only few.
I'd really hate when hasbro decided to bring LG Super Ginrai but in a boxset.
Getting rid of other figures in the box set is a bit drag.

Overlord should come with Giga and Mega as headmasters, one with and IDW face and the other with w Masterforce face.
Also, his chest does open. You can see the hinges. I would presume it could hold Titanmasters..

I think, given the retooling on Super Ginrai and now Sixshot, Overlord will be made as Masterforce accurate as possible, with a new head, and opening chest doors for Giga and Mega.

I hope TT does that with Overlord, not holding my breath, but I hope they do it.

here's my take on some TTS stuffs
TLK-15 Calibur Prime
If this fella can't make it in the US like a platinum edition of some sort, either I will:
– I'll just buy the premier voyager prime
– wait for a movie accurate voyager prime via Takara Tomy release.
MP Lambo Bros.
– Well I own only MP-10 seeing Chip Chase, makes me wanna collect MPs too.
LG Overlord
– I will speculate on this:
Considering Tak-Tom made some adjustment to LG Ginra, HotRod and Kup and added 2 figures (target masters) to the latter, LG Overlord aside having toon accurate paint apps, it may possibly have a mold re-tooling on the chest that will cater additional 2 figures namely GIGA and MEGA.
TyrantLizardKing
Methinks I\'ll wait and see what LG Overlord looks like, in case he improves on the Hasbro version (which I still think looks good).
