Transformers fans have a reason to get excited as Takara Tomy has just announced their latest collector’s set, the Dramatic Capture Series Triple Takeover 3-Pack. This set pays tribute to the classic G1 episode “Triple Takeover,” featuring three of the most iconic Decepticons: Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and Starscream. The set beautifully captures the drama and tension between these characters in both robot and alternate modes.
What’s in the Package?
The Triple Takeover 3-Pack contains highly detailed, poseable figures of the following characters:
- Blitzwing – Capable of transforming between robot, jet, and tank modes, Blitzwing comes with articulation for dynamic posing and action scenes.
- Astrotrain – This Triple Changer transforms between robot, train, and space shuttle modes, offering smooth transitions and accurate detailing from the original cartoon.
- Starscream – The iconic Decepticon Air Commander in his robot and jet modes, featuring his classic smirk and poseability, perfect for recreating dramatic moments from the series.
This set is aimed at collectors who want premium versions of these iconic characters, complete with cartoon-accurate paint jobs and designs.
Accessories Included
Takara Tomy has packed this set with a variety of accessories, ensuring fans get everything they need to recreate classic scenes:
- Blitzwing: blaster (2), sword (1)
- Astrotrain: blaster (3).
- Starscream: crown (1), cape (1), shoulder armor (2), null ray cannons (2)
Size and Scale
The figures stand approximately 6 inches tall in robot mode, fitting within the Voyager Class size category. These figures are perfectly scaled with previous Takara Tomy releases from the Generations line. Each figure is designed to work seamlessly alongside your existing collection, offering superior articulation for enhanced posing options.
Comparison to Previous Figures
While Blitzwing and Astrotrain have seen previous releases in lines such as the Legacy and Titans Return, this set is unique in offering Starscream (Studio Series 86) alongside these two Triple Changers. In comparison to earlier figures, the Dramatic Capture Series versions feature more refined detailing, premium paint, and improved engineering.
Blitzwing and Astrotrain have been part of the Generations line before, but this set elevates their design with screen-accurate paintwork and more faithful transformations, especially for collectors who value cartoon authenticity.
For Starscream, while he’s seen many releases over the years, this version stands out for being specifically designed to fit in with the theme of the Triple Takeover episode. Fans of G1 Starscream will appreciate his dramatic expressions and fine-tuned details.
