TakaraTomy Generations TG30 Waspinator & TG31 Rhinox Preorders Now Available

Seems Curt and crew at TFSource are being kept busy with all of the news on the upcoming releases! We received this shortly after the last release news posting

zoltaire wrote:Additionally takara/tomy has sent us information on Japanese Generations TG31 Rhinox & TG30 Waspinator! We know these are almost assured to have US releases as well, and exactly how the Takara versions differ is unknown at this time. However as most of the prior Japanese Generations have featured metallic paint apps and some variations in color, these will most likely follow-suit.


Preorders up at TFsource here:

Transformers Generations Japan - TG30 Waspinator

Transformers Generations Japan - TG31 Rhinox

Waspinator is targeting a February 2014 release in Japan, and Rhinox a March release. (US releases may see the same time frame.)

They both look AWESOME. I wish Rhinox was a Transmetal though. Waspinator FINALLY gets a mold he deserves! . . . and Rhinox's guns . . . are wicked!

I hope to see what the TakaraTomy versions look like (these are just placeholder images of the Hasbro versions) as I want to see how Takara's Rhinox and Waspy compare to Hasbro's before I decide on which ones I want to get. For these two, I want the most show-accurately colored versions, and if Takara can get theirs colored more accurate than Hasbro's, then that's what I'll go for. But if not, Hasbro it is.

These are both must-buys for me, but I'll get the Hasbro versions. As soon as they're available for pre-order on BBTS, I'll be preordering.

You are right, I think the Takara version will be more show accurate, as of lately most of the TF figures I'm buying are Takara now, I stopped getting hasbro figures,, I just like the Takara paint job better, the only thing that sucks is that I can't read the bios :HEADHURTS: lol, It all started with FOC Ultra Magnus, I liked his Takara colors better than Hasbro and after I got him I decided to get all FOC Takara figures instead, now it is more expensive but I like them better. fyi Some of the FOC takara figures are on clearance now at bbts, I will be getting both Rhinox and Waspinator but I will not be placing a pre-order yet because I have so many TF pre-ordered already,,,,

Still looks like a re-tool to me, Sabr.

The transformation looks the same, and though the new version may be a clearner mold, ehhhh... just saying, they kept the wheel round rather than re-mold it! :roll:

It's just like all those many Movie Bumblebee toys that look and transform similarly but are different molds.

"Re-tool", you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

A re-tool is when they take an existing mold and make some modifications to produce a new figure. A recent example would be Generations Springer/Sandstorm.

This Waspinator does, indeed, resemble the old one, but it is NOT a re-tool of that mold.

Thank you for the comparison shots... but this is all semantics. I understand I'm misusing the term horribly, but when I take a figure and slightly remold all the parts and it's still the same overall figure... it just feels like the same mold, re-tooled.

Anyway, I wouldn't point it out if not for how they're the same character/figure. It's one thing to have a Waspinator-like sub-character with similar transformation scheme... but to take the old Waspy, change up the individual parts but overall leave the figure the same? Ehhhh, tomatoes tomatoes. <-- which would make more sense if you could hear me say it! :-)

I've been known to liberally misuse terms for my own purposes! :lol: Actually, it's more an issue of ignorance, but I'll admit I'm more casual than most of you, so it's also an issue of pure apathy for proper terminology.

Figure looks slick either way, but I am overall ALARMED by how similar they are, considering the engineering tech is supposed to be better today. I guess the rule of thumb is to keep things the same if poseability was great for the original toy? :-?

They DIDN'T take the old toy and change some parts to make them new.

This new Waspinator is a completely new production, having nothing to do with the 1996 toy.

Now, now, now... let's not get mean about this. Trolling is trying to antagonize someone for the express purpose of antagonizing them, with no understanding/belief in what you're actually saying. If I were the sensitive type, I could accuse YOU GUYS of trolling me with your nerdy corrections. However, I know you're just being anal/correct about proper terminology.

So if we can just move on and stop focusing on the specific words (i.e. semantics), maybe you guys should respond to my ACTUAL point.

That is, the 96' BW Waspy looks VERY SIMILAR to this "new" one, and I'm surprised the "mold"/"figure"/"toy"/"mentally-put-in-the-word-that-makes-this-easier-to-understand" does not look all that "updated". It wasn't even a negative remark; it was a neutral observation.

But, to be honestly negative, I will add that this new TOY will no doubt include less plastic, be hollowed out, and generally feel more delicate than the 96' Waspy - just a prediction I am in no way delighted to see come true. :BANG_HEAD:

I'll be getting the Hasbro versions.

Preorders on BBTS don't cost anything. Final pics will be out before they ship so any of us who have already preordered it will have ample time to back out if we see fit.

I've never backed out on such a preorder that I can recall, just because my assumption about the paint scheme/plastic colors being more to my liking have not failed me yet, but certainly if the final product ends up looking like crap next to the Hasbro version, you better believe I'll cancel that Takara preorder and get the Hasbro release instead. It's just that this hasn't happened to me so far with any figure that I can recall.

As for all the talk about the molds being similar, the reason is simple:

The show model in the CGI series was based on the toy but with some artistic license taken
The new toy is based somewhat on the CGI series (and obviously the comic, although I'd argue that the comic is primarily based on the CGI series, especially given the head, chest and other details) but uses modern design and engineering starting from the POV that it should look close to the CGI

It's a chicken egg thing, but this one has a solution. Since the toy came first, everything that followed was based on it. Since many of us fans liked the way the character(s) looked in the show better, we got things like Telemocha and 10th anniversary which had more show accurate paint schemes but little to no retooling to make them look more show accurate. This toy fixes that by being a completely new molded figure designed from the beginning to emulate the CGI show/comics.

By "modern", do you mean hollowed out plastic, less metal parts, and smaller size? :roll:

So it IS a new "mold"? I thought someone corrected me about that... :roll: Anyway, it's remarkably similar to the original, IMO. Except that... well, it will probably be smaller and use less plastic. Looks aces, to be sure, but I hope he isn't TOO small... :BANG_HEAD:

I'll reserve judgment for the final product. These are pictures. Smoke and mirrors! 8)

Maybe a few visual examples might help clear up the matter.

Here is Prime First Edition Bumblebee on the left, and Prime Robots in Disguise Bumblebee in the right:
Image
Image

Though they are both similar in appearances, they are separate molds.

Conversely, here is Prime Robots in Disguise Bumblebee on the left, and Prime Arms Micron Bumblebee on the right:
Image
Image

These two are the same mold, but the Arms Micron version has been given new bumpy ports on its roof for the Arms Microns to attach to, and is therefore a "remold"/"retool".

For a more extensive example, here is Prime Robots in Disguise Bumblebee on the left, and Prime Beast Hunters Bumblebee on the right:
Image
Image

Both the same mold, but the Beast Hunters one has been given an overhaul of new parts, being a much more extensive "remold"/"retool".


In Generations Waspinator's case, he falls into the same case as the first example.
