Takara Tomy Mall Exclusive Transformers EarthSpark Burning Chainclaw Images

Was anyone able to order from Amazon Japan? I tried putting an order in but it says it's not able to ship to my address (US-based)

Both out of stock, but yeah, they went up right away when the thread first started with links on the front page.

Damn, I missed that. Megatron still seems to be up, at least

This line-up and your ideas are incredible! One thing though, in my opinion, Alex probably has to have the Bumblebee drip from AoE

oh of course! complete with walkie talkies and all.

I'd LOVE a core class Twitch!

I really hope legacy does her at some point since we probably won't get a good, in-scale toy of her from the mainline

So don't Amazon Japan TF pre-orders usually go down in price after a day or so?

I pre-ordered Deluxe Twitch and Nightshade under that assumption, but they have yet to go down in price.  

Oh, they're up on Amazon Japan?

I'd LOVE a core class Twitch!

Since we were kinda talking about it, I decided to use Andrew Sorohan's template to make my ideal version of an Earthspark toyline.

The cores were pretty hard, I knew Twitch had to be one, but I was a bit stumped with anyone else. Lazerbeak and Ravage made sense as a two-pack, and I figure Frenzy can be on her own because of her guitar. I figured the bear would just be fun (a.k.a. I ran out of small bots.) I was considering doing a 4 pack of the Malto humans as a core, but I thought it might be more fun to pack them in with other, bigger bots. Deluxe was harder, because there were more characters to choose from. Of course I had to do Thrash and Bumblebee because they're main characters, but the others were harder. The voyager slots were a bit packed, so I put Nightshade as a taller deluxe. The other two deluxes, I decided should be decepticons. Breakdown made sense because Bumblebee is there. Because Hardtop is a smaller character, I think he could be packed with Dr. Meridian (thus saving money by not having to make two Hardtop arms). Just like Dr. Meridian, I would pack Alex with Bumblebee. Voyagers, again, were super hard because there were so many options. To finish out the Maltobots, I had to put Hashtag and Jawbreaker in. They would have Robbie and Mo packed in with them. To make it even, I figured the other two had to be baddies. Soundwave because his cassettes are in core. Blitzwave because that design rocks! I think it would be really cool to give him a regular shark mode by folding in the limbs and a Gnaw-inspired robot mode (just by opening up the shark jaw to reveal a head. Leader class were no brainers. Megatron and Grimlock. Megatron needs to come with Dot, Grimlock has to have an alt head with red eyes. Commander probably has to Optimus due to a lack of any other characters to fit that slot. His trailer would make a really cool playset for the smaller figures. Now the Titan was a fun one. A bit hard considering there aren't very many titan-worthy characters in ES. Here's an idea, what if it was the dweller, but he transformed into the giant energon-draining weapon from the finale. Since there wasn't enough room in the deluxes, I figured Mandroid's final form would be a nice pack-in figure for him, similar to Mainframe with the Ark.

Welp, that was fun. Let me know your thoughts. I'm curious to know what some of ya'll would do differently.

I feel like Swindle should replace Hardtop, he showed up more, y'know? Also I'd prefer Starscream over the Sharkticon, but it's still a very cool concept

I think only one of them is involved in the transformation but i'm not 100% sure.

I need that GTR police car bot….

those new packages look slick. i can't tell any distinct differences in between the paint jobs like they say, but it's cool japan is finally getting Earthspark.
