Whats with the animated dino repaints, are they cheaping out and not doing new molds to go with rid grimlock

and whats with the prime repaints ??

They're calling it the Transformers Adventure line. I'm guessing they're selling it as a general toyline geared to the kids since it'll be quite a while before Japan gets the RID TV show - since they don't have to stick to the TV show, they seem to be filling the line out with repaints, and releases they haven't done (no photos but they list Bombshell and Shrapnel with the Legends figure silhouettes). Just my guess.

This could just be the first couple of waves. I'm curious to see if they do any more interesting repaints.

It looks like the BH version too, but that wasn't voyager series.

What size will UM and Nem OP be?? they all have the same prefixes too? If they are different sizes don't TAK use different prefixes??

Nemenis is the Warrior (Deluxe) class mold, and UM looks like the BH Voyager remold.

Based on the pic it's the same deluxe BH Dreadwing mold. Could be a pricing mistake?

Yeah, I think the Nemesis is the "Warrior" class as well, which is the new deluxe.

The Ultra Magnus seems to be the TRU exclusive Platinum Weaponizer version. EDIT: scratch that, you're right kirbenvost, that's the Voyager not the Platinum Weaponizer. My mistake.

I think it is an error. BBTS lists it the same price as the rest of the "deluxe" class figures in the line. The only one priced outside of that is the Lockdown, but I think that's just BBTS predicting it will be a popular sell and trying to make a few extra bucks on it.

TakaraTomy Mall site has higher res photos:

Looks like they're also releasing One Step Prowl and the Power Battler Junkheap (repainted blue and called Junkeon) in this line as well. It's like they're repainting and releasing all the molds they haven't used in Japan yet and dumping it into this line.

Interesting bit on the "R Strongarm" (the repaint) - it's listed as Greejeebar on the TTMall site...I was wondering what the repaint was an homage to. Greejeebar is the Japanese name for Rollbar (Swindle repaint) from the Ruination set: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Rollbar_%28RI...ts_in_Disguise

______

So re-reading the TTMall official listings, the full names of the repaint figures:

TAV07 Roadblock (Generations Scoop repaint)
TAV09 Swoop
TAV10 Slug (Animated Snarl repaint - obviously an AOE Slug homage)
TAV11 Bloody Knockout (BH Knockout repaint - not sure what it's an homage to...looks like combination of Bluestreak and Crosscut. Either way I like it.)
TAV12 Dreadwing
TED05 Junkeon (AOE Power Battler Junkheap repaint)
TAV08 Greejeebar (Strongarm repaint - homage to Rollbar from Ruination)
