This is very funny. Takara is including a non-transforming "core" with their Adamas Star Sabre, allowing you to make Star Sabre without Sabre.
And the fiction establishes that it can sometimes go haywire and act crazy.

So Takara just decided to try to retcon IDW Star Sabre into making sense within the traditional confines of the character.

It's like the dummy plug in Evangelion, then?

And that seems deliberately vague about who made it.
Headcanon- It's a cautionary tale about generative AI.

"Hey Grok, I'm taking my adoptive human son to Disney World. Can you whip something up to take over Supreme Commander duties while I'm gone?"

Sabre comes back to find the AI powered V Star stabbed through the chest and a litany of war crimes being blamed on him.

"Primusdamnit, Elon."

I'll stick with my Haslab a friend got me for combination Christmas/Birthday. Partially because I vastly prefer the styling on the Haslab, and it has the Brainmaster feature which I think is neat and the new one doesn't look to incorporate. Partially because I just saw the BBTS listing for $500, and that's before adding a hypothetical Victory Leo...when my initial response is a mix of inability to tell a toy from a car payment and the word 'DANG' the chances aren't great for me...

Weird thought: Between the frame combiners, Haslab Saber, and T-Spark Saber, they should have NO trouble working out a really GOOD far-less-complicated fully functional Mega-Pretender Thunderwing, right...?

I’ve already put a deposit down for Star Saber. His price is super high (about £300 over in the UK), but damn am I a sucker for this hyper stylized angel knight. It looks incredible. As does the idea of the teased Victory Leo.

And my wallet hates me. A lot. :(

Also. I would kill for them to go fullon with the Flame Toys The Fallen figure. That thing would be cool.
