Just in from our forums member TMan978, we have a look at Legends Class Chop Shop in a new video. The slight remold of Skrapnel features a new head and a red and brown deco that's more in line with the previous Legends Targetmaster iteration than the G1 toy, and as pointed out in the review doesn't always offer the best color contrast. We've embedded the video, so click through and check it out!
Following last night's preorder announcement with our first clear look at TakaraTomy's equivalent to Galvatronus, UW-06 Grand Galvatron, from site MyNavi.jp we have larger images giving us a very good look at each of the individual members of the group. The high res photos show the separate figures in both modes, bringing out much more detail than the smaller and paired TakaraTomy Mall photos did. We have the new images mirrored, so click through to take a look!
