In a surprise announcement, e-Hobby has announced a new upcoming exclusive based on the Classics Optimus Prime sculpt.

Thanks to the Official Takara Tomy Twitter we have a new look at "Legends" Leo Prime! This appears to be a final product and shows him off in all his Lioconvoy referencing goodness!

The beginning of December has brought a surprise for Transformers fans: Legends Godbomber! "Legends" is the Japanese equivalent of the "Generations" line, featuring modern interpretations of classic characters. Godbomber was introduced in the "Masterforce" series as an additional trailer for Ginrai and could combine with the hero to form a suit of armor. This figure seems to retain some of the classic elements of that figure including the ability to merge with Ginrai and even passenger seats for three Titan Master figures!

Playing news catch up, Takara Tomy recently revealed an upcoming figure in the "Legends" series, the Japanese version of the "Generations" line. The figure is Leo Prime, aka Lioconvoy! This is a redtool and redeco of "Titans Return" Alpha Trion featuring a new head and the colors feature the white, red and gold associated with Lioconvoy. In addition to the official photos released by Takara Tomy, the Takara Tomy PR Twitter also posted the image embedded below.

Takara Tomy Mall has put up its listing for "Legends" Headmaster Soundwave along with official photos featuring this figure in all its modes. The deco is very G1-centric and his Headmaster sports Soundblaster colors based off the character's "reincarnation" from the "Headmasters" series. Takara Tomy Mall has the figure listed at 8,640 Yen (roughly $84 USD) however some retailers are asking less than that. Soundwave is due for release in late December 2016.

E-Hobby has revealed a mysterious listing for a "Beast Wars" themed set of "Legends" figures. "Legends" is the Japanese equivalent of "Generations" in Japan and exclusives often pay homage to past lines outside of Generation One. This set is a creative and unique combination of "Titans Return" Mindwipe's body, Infinitus, Apeface's Beast/Vehicle and Nucleon and repaints them all into a homage of the "Beast Wars" two pack that featured a bat-based Optimus Primal and crocodile-based Megatron! Even better?

TF Yuki has taken to Twitter again, this time showing a photo of "Legends" Wheelie with Go Shooter out of package! The fun photo shows Wheelie and Go Shooter in a calm moment, but it also gives fans a look at the amazing new deco on these figures. This figure is scheduled for release on September 24 at a suggested retail price of 1944 Yen (about $18.41 USD). Additional images in this post are from Takara Tomy Mall.
