Unlike what the internet will tell you, the "new" Robots in Disguise line has its fans. One of the main compaints from this line, however, was the problem with Grimlock's scale. He towers over his friends on the show but Hasbro's line doesn't go beyond the warrior/deluxe class for the more traditional collector figures. This is why Takara's Transformers Adventure Battle Grimlock figure is probably one of the most sought after figures from the corresponding line in Japan since it is a retool of the Voyager class FOC Grimlock. There is a lot of retooling done and you can see the breakdown of this toy through the three reviews below. We have two from fellow Seibertronians, EbeforeI and Chuckdawg1999 as well as an extra long one from Emgo. Enjoy!

You should get it, it's very well done and this sounds like one of those figures which will increase in value over time.

I didn't realize that either. I don't think they're all that since most of them were warped in package due to the soft plastic. TAV21 can really only hold the edged weapons as the crossbow and blaster tend to angle down in those specialized grips.
I think it will too. I feel a lot of fans passed on this not realizing the depth of retooling involved.

I find the crossbow an awesome inclusion since Strongarm finally gets her show accurate weapon. While they come with Optimus, I feel they are better for the individual warriors. A big ass sword would have been great to have but it does add to the price.
Also to those still looking for this toy, while he is sold out everywhere, there is still also the bay of e which has him in stock at comparable bbts prices. The shipping will vary on location though: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_odkw%3Dba%20...%20k%26_sacat%3D0%3C%2Fa%3E%26
Seeing all the lack of stock tells me the fans we aware enough of how extensive a retool it was. Every pic showed that this was practically a different toy.

Yes the rubber weapons are meant for the smaller figures. With that said I don't have a Strongarm to try but the regular blaster fits a little tight in my Supreme Mode Bumblebee's hand. In fact when I put it in I thought I heard a crack. Thankfully nothing has happened with the hand.

I'm confused. Are we talking about TAV-30 Grimlock or TAV-33 Prime. They are both extensive retools of their predecessors.
Will, if you are asking about Grimlock, I would say on par with Springer/Sandstorm. they both succeed in making the same mold into an almost entirely new toy.
As for Prime, who can say yet?

I was referring to the Grimlock mold. And so are all comments past mine about the weapons. They are commenting by replying to the reviews we newsed.
And thanks for your comments. I have a list in mind and dont have the ranking figured out just yet.

I think it makes more sense that they got their full initial shipment but kept a preorder open to prioritize and sell off the figures they would get when they ordered more after seeing the demand. The ones they havent gotten yet are from a second order they placed or an increase to the first order which didnt get sent in time (final orders are at least 3 months in advance).

Can anyone help me out here who has dealt with Robot Kingdom? I preorded Bee and he has been in stock for a week and a half, but still have not sent a shipping notification. I got the cheapest shipping, but would they still send a notification that it has shipped?
I just find it so odd that It's been 11 days in stock and no shipping yet

Email their customer service. It happened once when I ordered my Platinum seeker set. I had to remind them to inform me that it got shipped via email. After that incident they always emailed me of the delivery.

I dont understand, if e-bay has the better deal, why not go for it?
Also, amiami does not cost 35$ with cheapest shipping for one warrior figure, though you may have been talking about something else.

Ok I understand now, you were referring to your personal purchase which a the time was the cheapest option. The only thing I can say is that there could have been a chance that it was sold out (like TAV Grimlock) and you might have not been able to ever have that figure. Also next time you will know to be better prepared

Possibly stupid question but, on the box for Supreme Mode Optimus Prime, there's the number 200 with some Japanese writing, this is right under the picture showing off the lights and sounds. Does this mean the figure says 200 phrases?

Same with the default. Including the sound effects I guess.

Alfes has just released a bunch of in hand phots of the newest TAV Transformer figures out in Japan.
Below you will find a slew of images for:
Takara Tomy Transformers Adventures TAV-VS 05 Drift Origin and Jazz
Takara Tomy Transformers Adventures TAV-33 Optimus Prime Supreme Mode
Drift has a new head based on the appearance of the character in the comics and Jazz has a new visor. Optimus on the other hand is having a lovely day since he is all upgraded in shiny chrome and wielding a massive sword worthy of Valhalla's mightiest warriors. Also, check out the minicon interaction which takes things to a whole other level of playability.

I mean I love the 2-packs, but when there are 2-packs with characters that would sell well separate and the 2 pack really isn't necessary, it Drives me nuts. I may have to see if a loose one is put on ebay (same with Jetstorm)

Ick. Not feeling these at all, that Drift colour layout looks messy and Tinythighs Prime still looks silly.

I'll be selling my RID Jazz cheap once I get this set in.
The original doesn't have 200 sound effects. There's a few including Prime laughing and a "hidden" one but not 200.

Then your question has been answered since that box also had the 200:
Transformers Adventures Optimus Prime Gallery
So for this version the 200 would not reffer to something else, like the sound effect. We still have no clue what it means, but it doesnt mean 200 sound effect.
Saduswipe transuform!!!!!!!!
