Nothing really stellar there - TDP Soundblaster is already out in Japan (as reported by F2F), we saw TFC-21 Broadcast & Steeljaw (due out next week) in and out out of packaging... So the only really "new" thing is the hint at the third Masterpiece toy. Yeah. :rolleyes:

In the show, I think. The little Prime that's included with the Takara version is the Legends of Cybertron version, which is smaller than a basic. It's included for a size comparison, I think.

No, Convoy is the name given to all planet leaders.

In Japan, it's like this:

Optimus Prime = Galaxy Convoy
Override = Nitro Convoy
Scourge = Flame Convoy
Evac = Live Convoy
Metroplex = Megalo Convoy

Those clever Japanese. I bet they have different names for EVERYTHING.
But seriously, thanks.

Starscream, Thundercracker, Vector Prime and Soundwave have the same names, and Megatron and Galvatron have just a "Master" prefix for their Galaxy Force incarnations.

The fact that Galaxy Force and Cybertron tell two different stories doesn't help
