More images of upcoming TFClub products have made their way to ACToys.net. This time around we get fresh looks at JB-00 Infinity Warfare and the Targetroids. JB-00 which is designed to upgrade G1 Predaking with shoulder cannons, new hands, and new sword that can be assembled in multiple configurations. These images show the blade components molded in a translucent red, but the packaged shot also shows them in translucent blue. The Targetroids are shown interacting with various figures from the Transformer Universe. We've mirrored a few of the images below.

Those sword upgrades for predaking are wasted on predaking (coz its too old and non poseable for my taste). It'd get them and arm a ton of my classics TFs to the teeth.

I agree the sword looks out of place with Predaking, though I would like to have those shoulder cannons. I have no doubt CrazyDevy will be releasing their own shoulder cannons, hands, and God knows what else for Predaking. I'll probably pick this set up and like you mentioned hand out the swords to other figures. I can pass on the Targetroids. I would be much more interested in Targetmasters that are either unique characters or new takes on the G1 Targetmasters.

Fo sho... only question is what colour do I want, haha. I think i'll go with red to arm my autobots; I'm comfortable with my Decepticons mainly having guns. Man, Crazydevy are hustlers... and not in the good "pimp/balla" way.

Hot Rod and Prime make really good guns but Megatron - that just looks painful!

It's kind of funny that the one that's supposed to turn into a gun looks the worse in gun mode. He does have a really great robot mode. Actually they all look really novel to me and if I have the extra funds then I might look into getting these.

The swords look really outta place on Predaking so I will stick with my crazy devy sword. They look really awful molded in that red/blue translucent plastic.

What is up with the clear plastic hands and black claws? This was one time 'Grey Prototype' plastic would have been perfect...

The Targetroids are pretty nice, I would have bought the starscream one, but they packaged it with Rodimus, and with them putting out Devastator soon, I am trying to save money any way I can.

If these sets flop I hope it does not effect Devastator any. (Like cranking up the price further to make back losses)

I like the Targetroids, but pretty much only as robots, not as weapons. They would have to be really cheap for me to snag them.

The swords don't do much for me.

It's all gimmicky uselessness to me. Not interested in any of it.

Especially the Predaking "Upgrade" kit. If that's what you could call it. It looks too newschool for Predaking.

Predaking's kit looks nice, but I agree it's not really suiting Predaking.

If that Megatron was Deluxe\Voyager size, I'd be all over that thing like a rash

The sword kits look like they took some of the Bionicle weapons and the Armada/Energon series Scout class weapons and tossed them into a blender. Just don't look very inspired to me. The Targetroids, however, are really intriguing to me. I love that mini-Megatron in his robot mode. That's the best G1 styling I've seen in a long time and I'm really liking how poseable they all are considering their size. Need to do something about Starscreams wings in gun-mode but other than that I'd say they did a pretty darn good job with these. Would love to get them but can't justify the cost for the size of figure I'd be getting.

The Targetriods make no sense to me. If they were other characters than the ones used, then I would get them. I like the kit for Predy. Looks way better to me than CD's stuff (except the wings).

I guess if it were possible they'd be pictured in this set, but I had high hopes that the screamers guns would be removable and work with the Classics/Henkei Screamer to serve as being more to scale than the spring loaded launchers he comes with. Other than that I'm really tempted to buy these.

The Predaking pics might have looked better with Predaking's head.

Are those Targetroids Scout or Legends size? If they're Scouts I may pick them up.

Surprised noone's picked up that we finally have a passable Flame toy in Hot Rod. It's even called Flame on the box. Am I the only one who dislikes the modern trend of putting yellow horns on Hot Rod toys?

Sorta off topic, but who's that red and blue autobot on top of prime's trailer in the last photo?

I hate this. I said I didn't like the Targetroids, but every time I look at Megs, I get more interested in it......

Haha, You guys seem to dislike Megatron due to the gun mode, but if your able to pull away from focusing on the "bot" in the gun mode, he really makes for the best looking weapon there. Looks like one heavy duty rifle.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I may just end up getting him, plus the more I look at Prime, the more I like it too. What's the price on these?

Megatrons bot mode is kick ass (IMHO)...

If they sold separately I'd get him for sure.

Interesting combo here was just revealed on the TFClub weibo blog. Seems Optiaim and Hot Flame can combine into Optiaim Super Mode!
