Check out the mirrored images below!

No altmode pics? Gosh, I wonder why...

TAV-50 doesn't look that bad with the proper angle and lighting.

Does that angle and lighting merrit spending 75$ on it?

You could just take a picture of the figure in a nice angle and light, then tape the picture to a wall

You never know, a picture could be just as expensive: http://www.cnet.com/news/teen-pays-735- ... e-on-ebay/

It looks waaaaaaaay more "personality" over the ones posted in online stores like Amiami (hobbysearch seems not to be carrying him).

Btw, that's the reason I posted previously to get you guys to convince me to get this. Unlike TAV-21, this incarnation isn't really giving the "buy me" vibe.

As for the ebay person who purchased that "photo", I guess his intellectual quotient level more or less is the equivalent of yours wj88 as I can smell a scam 10 clicks away.

That's uncalled for. You don't agree with something he said or did? This isn't the way to handle it. Refrain from verbal insults, please.

What I did IS uncalled for. Next time, I will think 70 x 7 first before I do a comeback that is insulting in nature. My apologies for not upholding/following the site rules.

I do this on my own volition and no threats of sanctions have been meted/threatened yet. If there is, I accept it (sanctions) whatever the mods see fit to dish out.

I've been looking more at TAV figures and I'm really liking the look of some of them. Does anyone know if there reprolabels or other stickers to cover the scan codes yet, specifically for the Decepticons or even just something generic?

I have my eye on a Bloody Knock Out but the only thing that turns me off is the big circle in the chest.

I replaced the poker chip on my Bloody Knockout with a sticker so he can be Bluestreak. Those scan code sticker come off real easy.

That's great! I'm just going to use him as my go to Knock Out. Not a stretch since he's so vain and likes to get prettied up, can just imagine he got bored with his red paint job. Well, I guess I'm still undecided, I like the Bloody version but not sure if I want his classic Prime look.

Now if only we could get a Prime Breakdown that won't break the bank...

Woot woot, Thunderhoof is bought. Not the best price ever, but the best price available right now for me.

Thanks to TFYuki we have a new image of the upcoming Transformers Adventure Crazybolt! Crazybolt is a brand new mold that is sorta-kinda based on his appearance in the show but definitely goes off in its own direction some with regards to design. The new picture also shows that yes, the legs are articulated. He also comes with Cyclone minicon Ransack. Other members of the TAV line set to release this weekend include Overload with Backtrack, and 2 battle packs of legion class guys: one with Bumblebee, Fixit, Windblade and Thunderhoof and the other with Optimus Prime, Drift, Ratchet and Clampdown. Check out the image below, and if you have placed your order, be prepared for your shipping notification!

Is crazy bolt not being released by Hasbro? Man, I don't want to pay $40 for a deployed for my son.

He is being released, but the transformers are in a dead zone right now. it should be released within the next month or 2

Just my opinion, but I think that with the right recolor, Crazybolt would make a good Hatchet.

Pretty slick idea really

That Deployer Crazybolt and Ransack, despite not being a Deluxe, looks good enough to import. Goddammit, Takara, stop stealing my money!

Just a reminder that Ransack is a straight redeco of Backtrack, Overload's Mini-Con. This is actually the first time a Mini-Con has been switched out for the Japanese market, as the US Crazybolt will come with the Buzzsaw-like (pun intended) Hammer.

Which one does he have on the show? It looks like a small lizard guy and not like a ball.

Slicedice, who was a Torpedo Mini-Con rather than a Cyclone Mini-Con, and has no toy of his own.

Neither: he's called Slidedice and he doesn't have a toy... yet.

Probably out next month, but out at the point where it'll be easy to find mid-summer. I'm really surprised they didn't have it out sooner to coincide with the second season's airing, but that can be said for a lot of the toys in the line right now. The releases seem very reactionary.

From tf yuki

Another fun stop motion from youheidx. This time it's Transformers TAV40 Bumblebee, TAV41 Optimus Prime and sneaks in a cameo of TAV TMC-01 Jetstorm and TAV TMC-01 Slipstream.

Those in Japan may be getting their mail orders soon for TAV VS-SP Dogfight vs. Decepticon Runamuck since Autobase Aichi has just uploaded a whopping twenty four in hand pictures onto their facebook page. We mirrored them below for your viewing pleasure. For those wondering, these were exclusive mail away figures, from company Hero X, only obtainable in Japan by ordering from the Million Publishing 2015 Generations book. Any available through western dealers had a heavy mark up but were soon sold out none the less.

Still on the hunt for Dogfight solo.
If someone is looking to split the pair, please DM.

I would really like to get Runamuck and Runabout, but they are just soooo expensive. They would look great together.

Recently teased by a certain someone, tonight we now have an extensive gallery of TakaraTomy Transformers Adventure TAV-47 Crazybolt and his "Prime of Micron" Ransack! This wacky beastformer (& Co) are likely case fresh since his street date pretty much now, and blogger Alfes2010 apparently held quite the photo session for them. See the pics below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

The "Prime of Micron" subheading of the title is, unfortunately, a nonsensical English "translation" of マイクロンの章 ("Micron no Shō"), which more accurately translates into English as "Micron Chapter" or "Chapter of (the) Micron(s)".

But, "Prime of Micron" is official, so it's what the title's stuck with.

I love everything about this mold... except for the gimmick. The clips to hold the ball just look so awkward with the jaw closed.

This figure just reinforces why I'll never purchase a single TF from this line. Not my cup of tea as they say.

Well I wouldn't mind having Runamuk for my all-white version of Optimus Maximus....

Really? I figured Crazybolt would be right up your alley. Not to mention the monstrous Decepticons (Quillfire!).

I really like the look of this weirdo. I can't afford to snatch him up right now, so hopefully he's still available in a week or two

I would definitely recomend Quillfire and Fracture to McGrotesque if he's looking for some good TF toys out in stores right now. They are as good as any other tfs that have been released these past years and unlike some others from this line, the Hasbro version is decent enough.

Courtesy of Takara Tomy Mall - though not limited to the Japanese retailer, as these are also on Amazon Japan - we have some new stock images for the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, in the form of TAV51 Hyper Surge Bumblebee and TAV52 Strongarm with her Micron 'Sotusu'. Check them out below!

I mean, I already have the Deluxe Adventure Strongarm, but that thing is oddly delicious looking.

Micron 'Sotusu'

This is why online translators for Japanese names are not a thing . It actually translates to Sawtooth: ソー (sou) is "saw" (Remember Swerve's Arms Micron?) and トゥース (tuusu) is "tooth".

Does anyone have any clue where to buy the Rain and Burn campaign microns from last month? Haven't seen a single one on eBay, boards, anywhere.

I believe you recomended Fracture to me some months back after Is said I wasn't about RiD/Adventure toys. It was definitely a hit. I have him prominently displayed on my makeshift pirates shelf and he fits right in.

Thats so great to hear Mr Scram, glad you like him! I do try to get the word out on how good he is. Not that he is the best ever, but in a line that most fans are ignoring because it is addressed to kids (as Transformers toys have been for 30 years), he really is a toy that anyone can enjoy. And people might miss out on this good to honest Transformer toy that is as good if not better than every other standard tf on the shelves right now

I like the weapon options too. Rifle, staff, or best of all- arm cannon!

What do you think about Megatronus? I was maybe going to pick him up as well.

He is epic, it's everything thats great about leader class megs, but with a new and smart transformation, and two head options (I personally like mask, but you can get the regular one too) Definitely recommend him, you won't be disappointed

Mr Skram wrote:What do you think about Megatronus? I was maybe going to pick him up as well.

He's a good transformer but he suffers from a lack of height, predictable H tank transformation and visible head (though that last part is far from a deal breaker as it is with other TFs). I still like him, but it lacks that brilliant originality fracture has. I really feel someone's TF collection is lacking if someone doesnt get Fracture, but its not the same with Megatronus.

mmm, true, but he's still a good, fun toy

I want Crazybolt now. I really do. He is so cool looking and I want him now.

Really couldn't tell you Scotty. Really can't. would love to though.

Oh for sure, I am glad to own him and the other Decepticons. I just wanted to give a fair assessment of the figure to people who may be apprehensive about the line as a whole. I am comparing him to all TF figures and him being comparable is in itself something to celebrate in a line aimed at kids.

Hmm, maybe I'll look for the masked version. I was going to use him as a generic trooper anyway. Thanks guys!
