My Strongarm collection(kinda becoming a shrine, actually) 
yearns for the wallet-lightening embrace of that exclusive.

I dont get it, Takara has such a smaller market than Hasbro and yet they do all these cool incentives. I really wish we had something like this.

Transformers has a ton of other robot toylines to compete in Japan (primarily Gundam), so part of Takara's doing all these campaign exclusives is to keep up the appeal of the line over there, whereas Hasbro's only real competition in the West is mostly just Power Rangers, but that line's not solely a robot line, so Hasbro doesn't have to push as many campaign exclusives as Takara does.william-james88 wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Here are are exact venues and conditions:

TFyuki strikes again! Aboard his twitter train are some new shots of Transformers Adventure TAV-01 Bumblebee in and out of package. Not only do we get to see him in both his car and bot mode, but also hanging out with (we can only assume at this point) Yuki's best friend MP-24 Starsaber. This TAV figure is the same Warrior Class Bumblebee we recently started seeing on shelves from the new Robots In Disguise line, only with a few additional paint applications. Keep scrolling to see the pics, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

I wonder how much the Japanese RiD deluxes will go for, shipping included? The Hasbro ones are now 20$CAN+tx locally. It's a bit frustrating to pay that much for a half-painted figure.

About the same price is you chose SAS shipping and get the preorders here (when they will show up for the next batch)

It appears theres no stopping TFyuki, who follows up with yesterdays reveal with some more Transformers Adventure Figures! Coming at us today is TAV-03 StrongArm, and TED-03 Sideswipe. And if that weren't enough, thanks to retailer Mandarake we also have shots of TED-01 Bumblebee and TED-02 Grimlock. The Takara Tomy TED (Transformers Easy Dynamic) line is better known stateside as 1-Step changers from the new Robots in Disguise cartoon, premiering this Saturday in the States on Cartoon Network. See the pics below!

I jest, but in all sincerity, Star Saber is an awesome figure. He should be proud of it. I just think he might be a tad overboard with the (self)promotion.

TFyuki's never ending Twitter feed brings us some more Transformers Adventure figures. For today's sampling we get to see TAV-02 Grimlock and TAV-05 Fixit, but MP-24 Starsaber was strangely absent. Don't be confused by Takara Tomy's TAV designation for Fixit though. Hasbro's Fixit is actually from the 1-Step line while Grimlock is a Warrior Class figure.

I actually feel that Hasbro's Fixit has the more show-accurate colors. Deeper orange and light gray, instead of the lighter orange and dark gray seen here.
Yeah, Grimlock's differences are extremely minor. His dino mode eyebrows and toes are painted black like in the cartoon, whereas the Hasbro toy left both unpainted.william-james88 wrote:The differences for Strongarm were very apparent but I dont see any for Grimlock.

Ugh. The Takara versions give you nothing over the Hasbro ones, especially on Fixit. I think Fixit looks better with silver, instead of black, plastic. Grimlock...maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing a single change at first glance...
It's actually worth it to save the money and just buy domestic, here in the States. =\

The key difference between the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions lies in the symbols used for the Apps: Hasbro's use only two colors, while TakaraTomy's have a few more. The Grimlocks shown are both TakaraTomy: you just can't see the black dino toes because they aim backwards in robot mode (the lower arms turn 180).

Those aren't stress marks: they are exposed catches for the soft ratchet joints. I just found out about them when looking at RID 2015 Grimlock in packaging, and having them exposed may have been a bad idea. I've seen multiple reports on the catches detaching or breaking, leaving Grimlock with a limp arm.
Well, he was the Decepticon Medic, and you know how mad doctors can get at times Doesn't stop me from wanting him, I've been waiting for BH retool redecos that don't look like the original figure with new armor parts (looking at you, Ratchet).
With Ultra Magnus on the way later, that only leaves Sharkticon Megatron and Prowl.
Mistake? What counts is that the name in Kana remains the same. Japanese uses no spaces between words in the same sentence, it's a long string of characters and kana, so it's up to the reader himself to discern the words. The only exception is the "forced space", denoted by ".", but it's usually only used for "the" which is a single kana (ザ za).

I fixed two RID 2015 Deluxe Grimlocks by removing the pins in the elbow joint, removing the catch, applying super glue to the bottom of the catch to get the piece to stay attached inside his upper forearm, reassembling the figure, and problem solved! I should get another one to do a preventative repair video.

I hope we can get a closer look into the packages for TF Adventure Swoop and Slag/Slug because I love how despite they have the Animated designs they way they're drawn and painted in different colours reallt make them feel like they belong into the world RID15/TF Adventure. Knockout and Dreadwing's art looks cool too.
I can imagine how the upcoming TF Adventure Lockdown's packaging art will look like.

Ladies and gentleman, after all these years, we finally have an official English spelling for the name "Greejeeber".

Gregevor... that's one way of translating the name グリジバー (gurijibā). For all it's worth, it looks better than "Greejeeber", but it loses the pun ("Green Jeep"). Apparently it flew by the translator as well.
Take note the translation only goes for the RID 2015 one, not RID Rollbar whose Japanese name is the same, but was never properly romanised.

Is his primary function "Greg Sepelak eater"?
I can't quite tell from pics I've seen, is the art trying to make the Strongarm mold look male for Greejeeber? I had just assumed it was a female take on the character.

Until we get its bio, there's no telling which gender Gregevor is supposed to be. *shrug*Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:"GREGEVOR"
