Thanks to fellow Seibertron user Cyberpath, we have the latest chapter in the ongoing Transformers Legends manga, available on the official Takara Tomy website here.

That's not all though, Sabrblade, has pointed fans in the ]direction of a title for the chapter and an English summary of the Japanese text. Check it all out below.

Sabrblade wrote:The name of this story is "Targetmaster Chapter Finale: Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One"

Brought to the Wolf Circus by his loyal troops, Scorponok explains that he had been wandering space following the black hole battle until Devil Z took control of him and had him build a transtector. Now that he's free, he plots to apply his usual plot to the Legends World—blowing it up and absorbing its energies for himself—and to do so he needs the plasma energy within the six Targetmasters, currently held by the Autobots who are attempting to restore them to normal. As the first step of his plan, Scorponok summons the second transtector Devil Z had him make on Beast: the gigantic Majin Zarak, a machine with the instincts of a beast and a veritable "god of destruction", whose origin comes as a surprise to Leo Prime.

When the police set out to protect the citizens from Majin Zarak, Scorponok's agent Flywheels sneaks into the police station and breaks out Slugslinger, Misfire, and Katsu Don, the latter agreeing to an alliance since his goals overlap with Scorponok. Katsu Don attacks the Autobots and steals the Targetmasters for the Decepticons before summoning the rest of his race to participate in the final battle, but the Zamojin army is in turn attacked by Skids, Sky-Byte, and the Dimensional Patrol. Rattrap is confused as the Dimensional Patrol previously considered the Legends World problematic, so Sky-Byte explains that he convinced them that it's a beautiful world that deserves to be protected, and he even managed to get the other three Predacons inducted as well. The Patrol easily holds the Zamojin at bay thanks to Neo Brave Maximus's robot mode, and before Scorponok can intervene, Majin Zarak is attacked by Leo Prime, Lio Convoy, and Optimus Primal, who has transformed himself using Transformers sickness once again. Scorponok calls upon Weirdwolf, but he has gone to Tera-Kura Co. to convince Noble to join them, having grown attached to the wolf and not wanting him to be killed in the universe's destruction, though Noble refuses and instead suggests Weirdwolf himself switch sides. Weirdwolf is left torn—compared to their previous destruction of Cybertron, which neither he nor Scorponok felt attached to, he feels a connection to the Legends World where his living transtector, Rarigo, and Butla were all born, and he knows in his heart that what they're doing is wrong...

Clouder and the SDF confront Majin Zarak and keep it busy while Megatron's Decepticons mobilize Trypticon, but even the cityformer is dwarfed by Majin Zarak who destroys him with a single giant beam. Blown away by the same attack, Leo Prime realizes that they're going about it the wrong way: since Majin Zarak isn't destined to be destroyed until their battle in the future, they simply cannot defeat it here and now. Meanwhile, Scorponok has modified the Targetmasters into new plasma energy bombs to be placed around the Legends World and detonated, restraining Slugslinger and Misfire when they protest. All hope is not lost, however, as in the city, Chromedome is approached by Pointblank, Sureshot, and Crosshairs, who have finally arrived in the Legends World and acquired transtectors from Kup's shop.

The new Autobot Targetmasters are catching my interest:

- Pointblank: TR Hot Rod, Hasbro version
- Crosshairs: TR Kup
- Sureshot: TR Full-Tilt?!

Ok, we're never getting them, unless the Full-Tilt mold is separate from Trypticon. btw They're just existing Transtectors painted over by Kup and Sue :lol:

To say nothing of Spike from Encore Fort Max and Grand Maximus's Armor. Or all of the head swapping Takara Tomy has done with their recent Headmasters.

I would definitely be all in on a set even if they are EX.

We have another update in the online Legends manga series from Takara Tomy Transformers, following from the previous update we covered here. With Hayato Sakamoto still behind the story and art, in this 53rd chapter we see a number of regular characters from the toylines, but also a human addition from the real world, with artist Marcelo Matere, writer James Roberts, and artist and colourist Josh Perez also making a cameo appearance in the panels!

He’s drawn a lot of comics. Spotlights Grimlock, metroplex, contribution to megatron origin, and he’s been doing incentive covers for RID/TF/OP for years. He’s on par with Casey with the amount to contribution in the comics.

He may have an artistic friendship with Sakamoto much like how Milne like to sneak in Josh Perez in his work

That Kup mold looks great for Crosshairs, but if ot got made as a you I would pribably pass just so Kup stays unique. Tough Call though. Pointblank looks good using the Hot Rod mold.I probably would pick that up. Not sold on the alt mode for Sureshot. I guess its a good Bot mode though?

What's neat about all three Autobot Targetmasters is that they each not only use preexisting molds for both their bodies and their heads, but each uses some tooling that was never released in Japan:

Pointblank - Hasbro TR Hod Rod w/ Siege on Cybertron Metalhawk's head

Sureshot - Full-Tilt w/ Quake's head

Crosshairs - Hasbro TR Kup w/ Skytread's head

In other news, summary for Part Two - https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Targetmaster_Chapter_Finale:_Legends_World_in_Imminent_Danger!_Part_Two

Rattrap and his friends watch as Majin Zarak continues its unstoppable rampage across Neo Akihabara City and are almost destroyed themselves before suddenly being encased within protective barriers by Big Convoy. The Maximal introduces himself as one of Rattrap's toys, revealing that all Transformers toys in the Legends World are living beings as toys across the world become real Transformers to protect their owners from the Zamojin army. Katsu Don attempts to destroy the newcomers with his telepathic power but is defeated by Overlord Tera, who has mastered that same power—now identified as Shinchōkon—and informs him that it is no longer monopolized by the Zamojin as it exists within all living beings.

With Majin Zarak held back by the army of toys, Scorponok hurries Mindwipe to place the Targetmasters-turned-bombs near the proton energy reservoir deep underground, getting Metroplex out of the way of the cave entrance by deploying Kickback clones to swarm him. By now Weirdwolf and the Decepticon Targetmasters have had enough and turn on their leader, and while Weirdwolf is defeated taking on Scorponok, the Targetmasters depart to try to reach the bombs in time, an act that is mirrored by their Autobot counterparts. Meanwhile, Alpha Trion and the Jumpstarters have made a plan of their own: by using Twin Twist's Drill Base to amplify Trion's repaired ultra-drill, they can banish Majin Zarak to another dimension without killing him and undoing his fated showdown with Lio Convoy. Scorponok is confident that his creation won't be pushed through the portal so easily, only for its engine room to be damaged by a team of Beastformers who snuck into Majin Zarak following its construction, allowing all Transformers in Akihabara the opportunity to pour their combined firepower at the beast. Majin Zarak is forced through to some unknown place and time and while the Beastformers, Skullcruncher and the Sweeps make their escape in time, Scorponok goes down with the ship, furiously screaming vengeance at Fortress.

The threat isn't over yet, however, as Mindwipe is still activating the Targetmaster explosives... but not out of his own free will, as Devil Z has revived in control of his body and intends to finish what Scorponok started! He is blasted out of Mindwipe by Slugslinger, but warns him that any attempt to meddle with the Targetmasters will cause them to detonate and, after a failed attempt at inviting Slugslinger to join him, retreats to a safe location to absorb the energy emitted from the Legends World's destruction. Slugslinger informs Megatron that there is only one way to prevent the Targetmasters from exploding: by killing them. He explains that while remodeled into bombs, they remain living beings, so if they die they won't detonate, but Megatron vetoes this suggestion and instead tells Alpha Trion to evacuate the entire population to the G1 World, leaving the Legends World to be destroyed rather than having to sacrifice any lives. Thanks to the Drill Base, portals are opened up across the world and everyone makes the journey thanks to their floating barriers or Transformers who turn into transports, and the employees of Axalon Trading Company go recover Optimus Primal before departing on a ship given to them by the Dimensional Patrol.

Megatron asks the Jumpstarters if they can recreate the Legends World in the future, and while they believe it difficult without proton energy and Zamojin assistance, they have faith that they can do it with the help of their leader, Dai Atlas. Meanwhile, all six Targetmasters have gathered at the bombs' location to act on an idea of Megatron's: simultaneously expelling all the plasma energy contained within their partners into the proton energy reservoir, which will still destroy the world but allows the Targetmaster partners to live. The plan succeeds, and all twelve of them successfully escape through a portal as the Legends World explodes behind them, though the shockwave sends the Axalon and crew off course. Rattrap awakens to find their ship crashed in a rocky landscape where he discovers the crystallized figures of White Leo and Tigerburn, seemingly frozen in battle with each other. He is greeted by the Monsterbots, with Repugnus claiming not to have seen him for a long time, and realizes he and his friends have ended up on the planet Beast.

It's interesting that the Jumpstarters should mention Dai Atlas. Fans have been speculating for a long while now that a retool of the Titans Return Black Shadow/Gigatron mold would make for a fantastic updated Dai Atlas. Could be another possible Legends EX release coming down the line? I still hope that Takara is going to make me very happy by making those releasing the Autobot Targetmasters now that they have shown off their "virtual" redecos in the manga.

I think we fans should lessen our hope for these figures, going from "Come on Takara!" To "it would be nice if they did but whatever will be, will be"

The more we get our hope up, the more it'll be dashed when it falls apart.

I'm going to remain recklessly optimistic for right now. Dai Atlas is a far-fetched flight of fancy, yes, but those Autobot Targetmasters are not too unlikely, especially since they have now been featured in the Legends comic, complete with virtual redecos of contemporary toys.

Thanks to Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have news that a new chapter of the Takara Legends Manga is now available, in PDF form on TakaraTomyMall, featuring the Monsterbots! The Manga is 5 pages long and shows off the Monsterbots, most prominently Grotess (Grotusque) & Repug (Repugnus), as they are the figures intended to be sold with this comic. The comic features plenty of battle beasts, and even includes some characters such as Bumblebee and Jetfire, along with some Headmasters. The comic also shows off some fun reimaginings of toys we got as new characters or characters we were rumored to get but never did, like Toraizer.

Check out the Mange below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

That comic makes me yern for a Battle Beast reboot!

I forget, does the Tak Repug come with the same Head Master as the Hasbro Repugnus. Basically, just Dastard? The comic makes it seem like a different character. Of course considering I can't read it and I kept going from left to right means I was a little lost.

Well to the Google mobile to search it out.

Edit: found what I was looking for. Just straight re-release.

I forget, does the Tak Repug come with the same Head Master as the Hasbro Repugnus. Basically, just Dastard? The comic makes it seem like a different character. Of course considering I can't read it and I kept going from left to right means I was a little lost.

Well to the Google mobile to search it out.
Yes. The head is the same as the Hasbro Dastard version, but the one he uses in this comic is instead the Titan Master version instead of Dastard. Though, Takara is treating Dastard not as himself but instead as the hedgehog Beastformer named, uh, Hedgehog. Likewise, Grotusque's little headmaster Fengul is treated by Takara as the Beastformer named Platinum Tiger.

Repugnus Hb robot head fits well/proportional when combined with the headmaster characer of the Legends line. I performed robotic surgery in other words.

The Head/titanmaster utilizing the animation model style is waaaaaaaay too big /not proportional when used on the Repugnus transtector.

Oh, no, that purple dude is Toraizer, a non-toy redeco of Lione/Sawback. Hedgehog is the guy wearing Spike's Exosuit on Page 2, riding the Titan Master Vehicle of Repugnus with little Headmaster Repugnus himself.

I so want to be excited about all the random cameos, Marissa abd her daughter, the random magic tranforming boat lady tagging along with SeaSpray, the Battle Beasts abd random HeadMasters, but I have no bloody clue whats happening here. And is Grotuaque arguing with his Titan Master dude at one point?

He was, along with Optimus Primal.

The Monsterbot Titan Masters have always been treated as Battle Beasts in Legends, while the Headmaster Warrior ones have been possessed by the evil Laser Beasts:

Daburu: recast as White Leo aka Pirate Lion
Fengul: recast as Platina Tiger aka Saber Sword Tiger.
Dastard: o no, not yet, Repugnus hasn't been bonded yet. Dastard is modeled after Hedgehog aka Prickly Porcupine, yes, but he is wearing Spike's suit for the time being.

Lione: was possessed by Tigerburn
Toraizer: was possessed by Scope Cougar
Shuffler: turns out he was possessed by Skull Grotess... HAH, Grotess piloting Grotusque, so cheeky :lol:

Another thing: Grotusque can speak while Platina Tiger is outside of Head Mode. That's a first. :shock: He does seem less of a joker now tho...

1) Spotted Marissa, but her daughter? When was she introduced to the franchise?
2) Alana, Seaspray's Tlalakan "girlfriend".

Certainly looks like it.

2016, with her first appearance being in the little pack-in comic page that came with Unite Warriors Convoy Grand Prime - https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Sue_Faireborn

Another cameo I just realized, not of a character, but of a concept: Platina Tiger's "glass shattering" thing is his new dimension warping ability, taken from the Blendtrons in the Beast Wars Neo anime.
