Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

They look nothing like their movie versions, but this is still nevertheless a pretty clever idea.

Its the nature of Hasbro/Takara/whatever. Barring BW/BM (and arguable even then) all they've been doing since 88 or so is recycling old stuff.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Astrotrain, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, or 3rd Party iGear Ratchet and Ironhide.
Also looking for Universe Repugnus and Overbite, Frostbite and Longhorn and any Webdiver toys.

Unfortunately, it's a Japanese release only.

The concept is pretty interesting. They like a cross between Transformers and Gundam. Plates that snap on and off, but able to transform.

They'd better release these outside of Japan, because I really want the Bumblebee. Unfortunately, right now it looks like they'll only be released in Japan.

They are far from acurate, but I like the idea.

I'm pretty bored with the movie line at this point, but may import these just cause they are something different, and an idea that I'd like to see developed further

Same here, I've looked at them often, but just don't like the designs of that line.

The bulk and massiveness of Prime reminds me of Big Convoy a little. In my opinion they need to beef up Prime like that more ofter. Bumble Bee is blah

ahh but if you really think about it, the gimmicks are in the fact that the Bot and toy can transform, and the armor gives various disguises.. which in reality brings this toy even closer to the original concept!!


I am totally excited about these toys coming out, even more so then i was about the movie toys that have already been released!!

I mean where else can you get a Protoform mode, Comet space mode, a Robot mode, and altmode all in one bot!!!

this design is fabulous!! It's every movie fans dream come true!! I just hoep they make them in Voyager size or larger!! Takara tomy, lets use silver in place of that cheap toy Grey...Please... :PRAY:

here ya go guys:
