But that Hyperchange/3-Step Optimus is part of the Easy Dynamic Series rather than the Adventure Series. Its ID number uses "TED" instead of "TAV".william-james88 wrote:kaijuguy19 wrote:I'm curious to know how so far we got the Nemesis Prime repaint of the Warrior Class Optimus Prime figure but not Optimus himself? Does this mean that we could possible get an Optimus Prime figure in the Warrior or a larger size class that's more like Voyager down the line for Optimus? Seems unlikely but still.
Also since the Adventure line has some Animated figures in it I'd love to see Animated Blackout get another shot at being in the line but done in movie colours and maybe for fun add more Animated figures in it like a Blitzwing that's done in his original Diaclone colours for example.
It seems for the takara series, Hyperchange Optimus will be their Optimus figure. It,s right there on the same page. That is a larger figure, about the size of a voyager clacc. Any different mold would have to come from Hasbro first as there dont seem to be any takara exclusive molds here.
Takara must have some reason for their not yet showing a "TAV" figure for Optimus. Whether they pull a "Battle Command Optimus Prime" and make their own new mold, or are waiting for something else to come from Hasbro for them to use as a TAV Optimus, I just can't imagine them forgoing putting an Optimus toy in the Adventure Series.
Might not be female after all since its box art isn't like Takara's usual depiction of fembot box art and its face in the art doesn't look much like the toy's face.Madeus Prime wrote:Why do I kind of want Gregevor? Or AKA Female Rollbar/Greejeeber?
We'll have to wait until someone get a hold of the single-packed figure's bio and looks at what the Japanese text says. I say the single-packed figure's bio since the bio for the 2-pack with Grimlock doesn't say much of anything about either character, besides them both being rivals and such.

Steeljaw looks nice, but not nice enough for me to buy a second version of the toy (if I need mine to have eyebrows I will do it myself). The Scoop, Swoop and Snarl repaints are actually pretty awesome. I may get those?

Think Greejeeber from Car Robots, aka RiD Rollbar.

Autobase Aichi's Facebook page currently features a sizeable number of images from the Anime Japan 2015 Expo in which Transformers Adventures seems to have taken center stage in this year's Transformers display. Also of note, QTransformers and Masterpiece Star Saber are both on display as well. (Masterpiece Star Saber is currently shipping from US e-tailers (and Seibertron.com sponsors) BBTS and The Chosen Prime. You can click on either sponsor's name to be taken directly to the ordering page.)
We've mirrored several of the images here, and you can check out the full gallery of images in it's entirety over on the Autobase Aichi Facebook page.

"Snarl" is actually a possibility, as Animated Snarl has been redecoed into Slug for the line.

It is an amazing mold and if that "Snarl" is in a nice new colour scheme I will buy it in a heartbeat. I am dreaming of it done up in brown and tan, akin to Wolverine's coolest costume.

Fair warning though, as you can maybe see with the link, that deco (like Gregevor) is only available in a two pack.

Probably to save money, they'll release a figure with a normal color scheme (Grimlock, then one with a different one (Gregevor). SO figure this'll have Strongarm with either a Cybertron Snarl or G1 Weirdwolf repainted Steeljaw.

Actually, Gregevor is available separately, as number TAV08. I expect the same to happen with "Snarl" here.

I believe and I could be wrong about this, but I think those are fake stickers over the real ones to keep people from scanning the figures in the package without purchasing them.

Uh, there's a perfectly Strongarm in the line. Are you confused with the repaint "Gregevor" as a new Decepticon character? Gregevor isn't replacing Strongarm.

The only reason to get that one is if you missed out on Scoop and you prefer a Constructicon reject. Seriously, Roadblock year the colors but he never made it into the team. He keep wearing the Constructicon's colors, hoping to be part of the legendary team. He's the ultimate and somewhat pathetic fanboy. His targetmaster is actually his therapist, trying to make him give up on his impossible dream and go back to being a normal, well ajusted 'con trooper.

What was wrong with his colors? It's almost identical to his G1 self.
This would have been better homage if they did the G2 colors, given him a double missile launcher. Save the Targetmaster for another exclusive.

While accurate, the toy looks tacky and eye-gougingly bright. I think the mold is cool, but I passed over it multiple times in store because I don't really like how bright it is.

True. But most construction vehicle toys were made bright for kids...ie Tonka trucks.
I get your point, the 80s comics did used a more darker color scheme as their pallet, the new Generations one would have been more realistic as well:

I was going to buy it because I like it, but that doesn't fit your single reason for justifying the purchase. I guess it's fortunate that I don't take your post seriously, because then one of us would look pretty silly.

Because there isn't one in Aligned (yet)? Transformers Adventure is directly based on Robots in Disguise 2015, which is a sequel to Prime. Even though we may get some G1 guys in the Adventure line, this Roadblock isn't one of them.
