Once again, thanks to our very own mod Gamerlingual we have a direct coverage of the Takara Tomy Hobby Expo in Japan.

While most of the toys on display are new for the Japanese market, we had already seen them in one way or another, but there was an unexpected surprise. Legacy Breakdown was on display, in some way. He was spotted as part of Menasor’s leg. In any case, we finally have our first look at the last Legacy Stunticon with almost 20 images of him.

We also have images of Haslab Victory Saber which was on display together with samples of Star Saber, Victory Leo and Micromaster Hori and Fire. We have a nice gallery from all angles of each figure. We will update with more images of the rest of the display, so stay tuned for more updates.

Update: Additional pics of the following figures:

  • Transformers x Canon Optimus Prime R5
  • Masterpiece Beast Wars MP-48+ Dark Amber Leo Prime
  • Masterpiece MP-56 Trailbreaker
  • Legacy upcoming waves for the Japanese market

Thanks to Benson Yee YouTube channel we can share for you our first in-hand of the upcoming Transformers Shattered Glass Flamewar & Fireglide.

This is an official Flameware sample, sent by Hasbro for promotional material. This figure is a redeco of the Legacy Transformers Prime mold inspired by the Botcon 2005 exclusive Flamewar toy (originally an Energon Arcee redeco). She comes with a red and black redeco of Siege Pteraxadon. We have a closer look at the packaging, robot mode and accessories and extra parts included with this figure. Curiously, while she’s supposed to be a Shattered Glass redeco, the only main change to the original Flamewar’s deco is the red Decepticon insignia. This toy is a Hasbro Pulse exclusive as the rest of the Shattered Glass Collection and it’s planned for release in November 1st 2022.

See the new images after the jump, as well as Benson Yee’s video review, and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Hasbro Transformers designer Mark Maher has once again taken to his Instagram for another behind the scenes post. This time he’s taking a look at the highly-anticipated Legacy Voyager Armada Starscream!

“Theres alot “more then meets the eye” for this featured Legacy powerhouse, can I get a warm welcome for this Voyager class Armada Starscreeeaaamm!
.
It feels good to be able to dive into the Armada series! As most of you realize, this is truly what Legacy is all about, celebrating the rich history of the almost 40 year old brand. All these different styled characters being brought in from different portals to meet in this Legacy multiverse to have updated articulation and style to fit in with your current stellar collection but also bring a little new flare to each bot! Woohoo! This guy is looking hot and spicy!
.
I mean, after the last Armada SS Gen Dlx thrilling 30 toy, it seemed like it couldn’t get any better. But,Takara does it again, Ittoku Kuwazu absolutely did a fantastic job with this beauty!
.
As I have stated in a past livestream, we did strip those red ops off of the wing sword and in production it will be the same molded grey tone as seen here on his wings. I figured the almighty Star Saber sword would ultimately be his energon infused weapon, considering how epic it is!
.
Articulation is on point for this dude! Swipe on to see the pose out fun I had with this awesome figure. The fact that the two shoulder cannons have so much versatility and blast effect compatibility, it just provides so much playtime fun its tremendous!
.
For those of you that were wondering, if you want to collect two swords you could untab the underarms in jetmode and place the swords as extensions to the wings.
.
Also to note, his great facesculpt features a grey tone deco op to differentiate his look from your usual silver. I hope you dig this delicious decepticon!
.
Get ready for Pulsecon, its gonna be a doozy! 😎💁🏻‍♂️”

Additionally, we also have some new comparison shot images, via PrimevsPrime video review, with other Kingdom and Legacy toys. Megatron is quite a big Leader class toy and he looks massive next to the Deluxe and Voyager Beast Wars figures.
