I actually have best leg/feet transformations. It's hard to beat PRID Wheeljack and DOTM Prime. Did you see those sexy legs?

Prime Wheeljack is probably the winner there!

The Takara Tomy Youtube channel gives us transformation videos for 3 upcoming figures. From the Transformers Adventure series we have TAV27 Micron Shooter Drift and TAV28 Grand Vehicon General. You can also check out the recently seen official images of these figures. The Transformers Easy Dynamic series gives us TED-12 Thunderhoof of which we really haven't seen many images.

YES! I was actually tempted to get the Target exclusive 2 pack of Grimlock and Optimus, just to get the silver prime!

As I mentioned earlier, depending on your monitor quality. It isn't that brown in reality. Besides that, good luck finding one online (with the exception of Amazon Japan)

Too bad that Ground Vehicon General isn't as silver as it looks in the promotional pic. In the video you can see it's much more gray than silver.

Check out the images of Battle Grimlock with the rest of the RID cast we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates!

I was fine with the Warrior grim for my collection, but these pics just made me care a little more. aw geez. #-o

That scale is much closer to the show. And he looks great with them.

I must deliberately ignore this figure so I'm not tempted to buy him and all his Warrior scale buddies.

That is a great looking team. Missed legion fixit though!

Its ok dude, Amiami is there for us

(hopefully, if it sells out before I even get notice of it, I will be pissed). Do you have the mold, Cobotron?

Ya, same G1ish one as you.

And I don't hate it. It does feel flimsy, but that was never a deal breaker. I wonder what plastic Tak will use?

Looks like this confirms that it is "Ground" Vehicon General instead of "Grand" Vehicon General.

Now that Grimlock actually looks good next to all his RID warrior buddies. Got to keep fighting the temptation to buy any RID stuff

hehe.

I have a couple extra Prime Vehicons. I wonder if I can get the same effect by just painting one of them totally silver...

Do as I do, buy only the takara stuff. Like that you can tell yourself you have not bought any RID

Just got an email from bbts my Runabout is being processed; nearly flipped, as I had just logged into my account and didn't see his pre-order come up, yet the page still listed him as on pre-order still... So I logged into my email, and there was that fateful email

How about some more TAV and TED reveals? The interestingly named Japanese Christmas Toy Trade Fair is being held in Japan and Takara surely has a table full of goodness. It has taken the opportunity to reveal TAV-33 Optimus Prime Supreme Mode (from the TAV 21 mold made exclusively by them for their market), which was previously hinted at with an unpainted prototype.

We also see what Takara has up their sleeves for their version of the Robots in Disguise Legion figures like Underbite and Megatronus. This might be the way to get Megatronus individually, unlike how Hasbro has him teamed up with an Optimus redeco as a Toysrus exclusive pack.

These are also the first in hand images of the slew of upcoming TAV releases which we finally saw earlier this week such as TAV Battle Grimlock, Supreme Bumblebee, Black Shadow, and Stepper. What is probably most interesting is that we see a stand in featuring the upcoming VS set featuring "origin" Drift and "Battle" Jazz and it seems this Jazz has a visor, just as the Stepper redeco has.

Enjoy the images found on Manta Web and Game Watch!
