None of the decepticons "transformed" in that film

Fine

HAD AN ALT MODE

without a known alt mode, I don't know if even TT could do anything with it

Did Shockwave have an alt mode in Dark of he Moon? I dont think so.

Yeah, but that's shockwave, all they had to do was have him hunch over and attach the cannon to him for us to be happy

Well then that answers your question. They could do the same with the 2 headed shockwave.

Dotm shockwave with 2 cannons

More like two arm spikes and no cannon.

The Decepticons had alt modes. You saw them in the garage/factory in HK.

Nope. The ones in the KSI building in HK.

Right, but the two headed "Shockwave" was on Lockdown's ship, right?

No. There were others who looked similar to him and the Steeljaws.

The guys on Lockdown's ship weren't Decepticons.

Several of Two Head (the 2-headed Shockwave) were KSI Prototypes.

If TakTom had put the black color scheme on their Supreme Bumblebee remold it would've been gorgeous!

Is the left one also from Takara or the Hasbro TRU exclusive?

A little bit of paint goes a long way. He looks really nice but I'm happy with the Hasbro one.

Both. He is also released by Takara as a TRU exclusive. Both takara and hasbro released the same TRU exclusive toys.

To clarify: there are 3 main versions of the toy, 2 from Hasbro (TRU masked, and general retail) and this one from TakaraTomy. However, TakaraTomy also released the Hasbro TRU one, unchanged as a "Clash of the Transformers version". That one counts as a so-called "USA Edition", a Hasbro import released in Japan.

Beautiful. I love it

I have the normal version, too, and painted him a little bit (posted some pictures here a few days ago) and he looks fantastic.

That was a nice paint job.

That's not entirely true though. As proven with this year's trypticon, takara will still use the term USA edition when it is warranted. They don't use it here. There is also the fact that all these exclusives were first revealed in the Takara transformer section of a Japanese hobby magazine even before Hasbro revealed them. They also contain substantially more paint than the Hasbro figures. For the Japanese market, these are no different to the black AOE prime redeco that was exclusive at tru. These are simply a retailer exclusive for TRUs all over the world distributed by whichever company is contractually allowed to distribute them. And that's it. Anything else is unproven speculation.

We recently saw a new black Bumblebee redeco from Takara and now Takara is releasing more official pictures. This Black Knight Bumblebee is a Cybertron Satellite exclusive and Takara has listed all the shops in Japan where he will be available to procure by Japanese fans. This toy will only be available in these locations for 3,000 yen, and not on any traditional Japanese online vendors.

He actually looks really good in that black paint

So I wonder what those weird handle/pegs are for on dragonus and ratbat, are they for attaching them to the sprue clip, or are they handles, or something t5o help them balance for the photo?

Also, does that airazor have ball-jointed thighs? Are those new

Interesting. Maybe they are 5mm pegs so they can perch in the hands of larger figures.

No the release is built the same, but they are not ball joints. More like mushroom swivels.

Hmmm, bummer

It is so weird how one of those Microns has the same name as the motorcycles from Ninpū Sentai Hurricaneger (the Japanese counterpart of Power Rangers Ninja Storm).
