Looks like Takara is revealing Legacy deluxe Class Dead End and Blanker on August 10th. That means they'll probably beat Hasbro to the punch for revealing alt modes and accessories. When it comes to Blanker (this is the Japanese name for Point Blank and it's what this release will be called) the accessory is pretty important since it's a Targetmaster called Peacemaker. We see Peacemaker in the Takara preview image below along with the alt mode. And we see Dead End's alt mode too.

So are we getting a Peacemaker with Blanker here in the West? Would that make him voyager priced? Or will peacemaker be sold separately?

Personally, I prefer the combo sold at higher price, like they did with Selects Cyclonus.

Blanker is not the targetmaster gun's name, we will most likely be getting pointblank with his Targetmaster peacemaker.

He'll just be deluxe priced and his accessory will be the simple targetmaster you see there.

We saw that they can plan for 2 packs without having to go higher. Like Blaster and Eject still just being a voyager release.

Since they doing cassettes like Rumble in Core Class I wonder if we'll soon get new version of Ravage and Laserbeak? While I think Laserbeak fine to some extent, Ravage is seriously oddly proportioned and wouldn't mind a redo to a more streamlined look.

Though I suspect we'll see a Frenzy/Rumble repaint along with others before a Ravage.

Dead End's got a solid-looking car mode so far, shame I'm gonna pass on him since I'm not doing Menasor. I think he might have slightly different/retooled guns compared to his teammates?
Blanker looks...fine, I guess? Would love to see the full car and not just the front half, but he's probably still a pass for me. Peacemaker looks exactly as compromised as I kinda expected, hopefully Needlenose doesn't also suffer from trying to force a Targetmaster into the Deluxe pricepoint later.

1. They called the Targetmaster by the correct name in that quote, not sure what you're correcting.
2. Hasbro revealed the figure as Autobot Blanker, not Pointblank, so he will be releasing in the West as Blanker.

Looks to me like the legs still fold over the torso like the G1 original, but the barrel is actually in the legs rather than covered by them, you can see the red hinge for the barrel by the feet, so the bot body lying under the gun is facing the other way. That would also match the "Peacemaker transforms in 2 steps" callout from his product description.

Even better. I just wasn't sure if Hasbro would do that, since deluxes do cost less than voyagers and they have sold battlemasters separately.

Both look very nice to me, I'm really digging Dead End's car mode that is totally not a Porsche no siree, and Pointblank Blanker looks equally very fun. He'll look great next to my Crosshairs toy and I hope they do Sureshot!
Maybe a more toy-accurate Scourge with Fracas can happen too like they did with Cyclonus...

Glad I've already got a version of peace maker. I'll probably give point-blank some kind of crotch piece tho but still a definite buy. I'm not doing menasor mainly because of how bad dragstrip is but it's great to see the other cars looking neat.

Dead End looks great, easy pick up along with Starscream and Crankcase. As for Blanker, I'll have to wait and see if they do a Selects toy-accurate version like they did for Cyclonus. That head is just so off-putting compared to the G1 toy.

I don't have any complaints about Point Blank, but I have like a dozen Battle Masters set aside for my season four line up, and now they're doing a new Targetmaster mold? They won't match! I guess now I know how all the ride-or-diw CW Scramble City people feel about new Menasor.

My BBTS order arrived today, which included both Legacy Motormaster and Studio Series 86 Sludge.

I am happy to report that my Motormaster has none of the discoloration/photodegradation others have reported:

My copy of Sludge also does not suffer from knee-flop syndrome like the first-run reviews have shown, and his hips are holding fairly well, though they are a tad loose moving laterally outward for the first inch or so, but he holds both legs fully extended to the side like a champ.

Hopefully the rest of you are having similar luck. Both figures look phenomenal, and I absolutely cannot wait until Menasor is completed. The reveal today of Dead End’s alt mode made me smile, as it looks spot on, and thankfully they included his iconic stripe.

Much like SS Galvatron, I wish Blanker had gotten a larger figure budget. He looks so... under-filled out? And I wish his targetmaster was more in line with the Siege ones.

Dead End looks pretty good. Might get 2 of him, he is by far my favorite stunticon thanks to Cyberverse. And funny enough, he was not homaged in Robots in disguise, so that's a funny thing too

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really like the Peacemaker mold. It pushes all the right nostalgia buttons for me, since Pointblank was the only Targetmaster I had as a kid.

While it might have been nice to get a more "modern" looking Peacemaker, similar to the Siege Battlemasters, I think it's an issue of how the molding on those works. The limbs have to be a different color than the torso, so they look more uniform in gun mode. Sure, they could paint them, but that's likely not an option with the budget they have. Take Selects Cyclonus. He's a figure all about toy accuracy. So wouldn't they make Nightstick with black arms and a black torso, and make him with silver legs, since that's what his G1 toy had? Nope. Silver legs and arms, black torso.

Blanker is the stupidest f-ing name to replace his actual name of Pointblank. I went back and saw that they were releasing him under this stupid ass name after I posted.

So no correction, this name swap crap confused the hell out of me.

I'd say it's the least dumb one. At least Blanker is the character's name in Japan, so they are still calling the character by a name linked to him since G1. It's not like they called him "Redcar" or "Poopybot".

My copy of Menasor doesn't have any yellowing either... Seems like that was some weird, rare situation.

Dead End's car mode does look pretty dang good!
I also can't wait to get this set completed...
As of right now, the plan for my second set of Stunticons is to have them in vehicle modes.
Other than my Sharkticons, they'll be the only figures that aren't displayed in their bot modes.

Fracas, the second from the left, is the torso and legs of Nightstick from Generations Selects Artfire with the arms and gun barrel of Fracas from the Siege Phantomstrike Squadron multipack. :)

Shrute isn't Fracas. He's Hairsplitter, one of Spinister's two Targetmasters. Fracas is the other Targetmaster in that same set.

Oops, good catch! You’re right, it is indeed Phantomstrike Squadron Fracas I used for the arms and gun barrel. I misremembered who in the set got remained as “Shrute.” I’ll call my mistake an homage to Takara renaming Fracas as “Nebulon” and then swapping names with Nightstick when they gave Scourge’s and Cyclonus’ Targetmasters to Artfire and Stepper respectively. ;)

I am so close to getting a Red Cog...but haven't been able to...so frustrating...

For the past 3 days, online, the Target closest to me says it "in Stock" they have 8, meaning a full case. Also for the past 3 days, they've been doing a reset to the toy aisle and taking their sweet time about it. Sorry I know in terms of life itself, this is petty and unimportant but...I know how scalpers are in my area. The minute this gets on the shelf, they will be gone. I just want one for me.

The same two ladies have been giving me the same sob story (I went in yesterday AND This morning) about how there's 16 pallets in the back....blah blah blah...meanwhile all I see is picture after picture of Red Cog on Target shelves on stores in other states...I'm sorry, as someone who used to work in retail, making about 1/3 of what these people make I have no sympathy. I try not to be that jerk collector, but my patience is wearing thin. My questions and demeanor were all very respectful, but the Target employees chose to have an attitude, all while some Hotwheels collector was down on his knees like Gollum, going through boxes looking for his "precious". I know Red Cog is available online, but why should I have to pay an additional $7 for shipping and wait 7-10 days for an item I KNOW is at a Target store that is a 10 minute drive from my home? Lastly, I am on call for Jury duty this week. With how things are going, my group will probably be called in for tomorrow, and there goes that. Oh well...since that is downtown Sacramento, I may be able to check a different Target at the end of the day I normally cant get to.

agreed, but I prefer my cars to be actual limbs rather than the cartoon accurate carmor look. I get that some people really go for the cartoon accuracy, but sometimes that accuracy is detrimental to the design and in the case of the combiners, I feel like it renders the "combining" kind of pointless.

Menosaur for me feels like they almost hit it but they didn't. The motormaster is defienteley better than the combiner wars version though. I the leg panels disappeared into the torso, and the bottom the the car mode was the front of the foot like the g1 toy, it'd be much better. It be perfect enough if the arms wproved just like the regular Cw on top of that. But this is still the best official menosaur....

I think we discussed in the "toys Hasbro/TT will never make" thread....the concept of the Gobots/Machine Robo power suits/Power Warrior is really cool. I'd love to see a new Transformers concept developed with that idea, but not changing a previous toy to become that really isn't my preference. Also the Power Warrior should be more versatile to accommodate almost any deluxe Transformer. Menasor is very specific only able to fit one character. The legs "might" be interchangable, but the developer said specifically the arms can't even be swapped.

Got a big haul in today, which includes the big scott himself, Metroplex!

This dude frikkin ROCKS!!!! His articulation is crazy! He has so many joints and can throw so many poses! It's nuts!

He is also super well colored. he is visually so much fun to look at. He's super fun to move around and he doesn't really have an angle where he looks cheap, unpainted, or bad. He's just that good!

The weapon is super cool too. They did really good there. The giant spinning axe head is amazing.

He's really good folks. Like, really good.

Nope... I'll have those 5 all in bot mode.
If the scaling of the dino modes were more to my liking, I'd consider that, but as it is, I like their bot modes much more.

I understand why people would want Menasor to combine/look different.
However, I'm more than okay with what we're getting, and I appreciate that it's not the same combining system as Superion, Defensor, Bruticus, Computron, and Abominus.
And this isn't me saying I think Menasor is the best-looking combiner, but I really like that he's different.

If the scaling of the dino modes were more to my liking, I'd consider that, but as it is, I like their bot modes much more.

I understand why people would want Menasor to combine/look different.
However, I'm more than okay with what we're getting, and I appreciate that it's not the same combining system as Superion, Defensor, Bruticus, Computron, and Abominus.
And this isn't me saying I think Menasor is the best-looking combiner, but I really like that he's different.


Se my post a few posts up for my menasaur thoughts.

Nope.

By all means, use CW Motormaster with the Legacy limbs if you want. But the point of Legacy Menasor is to be cartoon accurate and they're doing a bloody good job of it.

Don't like it? Don't buy it. There's never going to be that one perfect figure that appeals to everyone.

With the development team saying they're interested in doing more Combiners like Menasor I'm really afraid of what that might mean. If they just mean cartoon accurate that's one thing, but we don't need other combiners using this same frame system, it wouldn't look right.

I highly doubt this same combining system would be used for any other combiner.
That would just be a step in the wrong direction.
And with Hastak branching out now into different series, the G1 characters are (as they should) going to most likely stay true to their cartoon models.

I personally hope a new set of Constructicons is next.
This is about the only thing that would keep me in the game past the Dinobots and Insecticons I’ve been waiting so long for.

Although I just saw leaked listings for Core Grimlock, Swoop, & Snarl…
I may have to get those.

Wow… Also just saw that Ramjet is going to be in EV…
Looks like it will be a re-pack of the ER version.

I doubt they are doing the Constructicons or Predacons anytime soon, for obvious reasons.

I look at Combiner Wars and there is one team we all know that got done dirty: The Technobots. They deserve better figures than being treated as exclusive leftovers comprised of remolds/repaints. They should be the next combiner team redone.

Yeah, but we’re going on 9 years since CW Devastator. And assuming he’s not getting a new version next year, 2024 makes it a full decade since getting that set.
I know they’re not the most popular characters individually, but that’s still 6 Decepticon characters, when it seems like there are so many more Autobots.

I personally love my UW set of Technobots. The add-on kits help for sure.
But he’s one of my favorites from CW/UW.

I also think Predaking deserves a better version.

There was talk on twitter hoping Prowl will be his Animated version, which i would agree with, as I could easily put him with the SG figures.

please forgive how blurry this pic is btw.

Core class Dinobots? Nnnnoooo! I've really cut down on collecting due to price increases, but I have real trouble saying no to Dinobots. Hasbro, you are NOT helping my wallet.

I don't get why Hasbro love the Ramjet mold so much. We had the same mold with the Amazon 2-pack, Sandstorm (which I got and love) & G2 Ramjet (a nope for me, even though every reviewers love the funky G2 colors) already. But we got no redeco of Dirge nor Thrust iirc?

I'm extremely glad that Hasbro release the main 3 Coneheads, as I got cancelled on them all. But release it in a non-exclusive Selects 3 pack makes more sense to me.
