Looks like a motorcycle wheel by Defensor's knee.

Legends Blackjack and Groove are being sold in Japan under the Transformers Adventure line as Runabout and Override respectively. I think the Takara deluxe Groove is a retool of the Afterburner for the speculated upcoming Computron.

^^ I see what you mean.This is what I know

I new they talked about using groove, so maybe it's just stuck on rook( I think that the swatbot legs name) , I thought it was to originally attach to the chest though. I think he's going to be a gun too

^ Yes I am sure they will retool/repaint as much as possible





Here was the first shot without groove


and heres a shot with him attached to his chest




close uo





Hope that helps


I think it's a good idea because groove is small to be a leg by himself, now he attaches to rook, I think he's moduler and will bee able to stick him wherever.

Anybody going to U2 tonight?

I've got a "nosebleed" seat tonight, then lower bowl seats with my wife tomorrow night. I'll be the one wearing a vintage Popmart '97 Tour shirt and a huge grin (and earplugs...yes, I'm old.).

There is no them, only us.

No, but enjoy it , and no your not old

thebobkat means they aren't using Hasbro's legends Groove for their Defensor at all.

From the silhouette picture on TFW it looks like Groove will be a Deluxe sized figure. So a remold from an upcoming figure.

Hasbro's Groove is supposed to be legend size and supposed to plug into the chest like an Alien exploding out.

oh, and resize pics please.

The silhouette shows the "Groove" leg with more curving/styling, like there's a motorcycle seat, so I'm still sure it'a new mold (or an already intended mold as it were, i.e. Afterburner), and they aren't including any of the Legends figures into their version of CW. Rook would also show up on that part of the silhouette much squarer. But in any case, we'll see soon enough I guess I've been ordering the Takara sets so far so I'll probably be doing the same for most or all of this line.

Yes I know that's the general cenus, but I think Tak's photo has grove turned around and his wheel facing out. with groove being legend size still



As for computron, I think they will go with the same format 6 bots (5 delx & 1 Legend) with AB being the legend one

my 2 cents.

pics sorry just attached them
