That's pretty cool! Any chance Hasbro will do this, or is this going to be a Takara-only thing?

I think the Cliffjumper figure used in these pictures is broken. He only has one horn on his head? That's stupid. At least use a figure that has all the parts & pieces.

Dude, that is the remold/repaint of Cliffjumper into Zombie Cliffjumper, he's supposed to look like that.


Also, yea, look like I'll be collecting the Takara line.

Either you haven't seen the show or you're making a funny...

And, Squeeeee! Zombie Cliffy looks to be a slight remold of FE Cliffy. This possibility might have me skipping PRID Cliffy entirely.

All in all, the target masters look good. I hope Hasbro brings them in. It might bring me back to the Prime line...

Below Skywarp....They wouldn't do a silhouette of Starscream...Thundercracker?

Just watch as Takara releases this Skywarp and Hasbro does nothing and I become heartbroken, having missed yet another Skywarp.
PLEASE contact me if you have any of the following, or know where I can find them:
[list]
[*]Cybertron Leader Class Optimus Prime's wings
[*]Powermaster Optimus Prime's Supermode Head
[*]Powermaster Optimus Prime's "Super Smokestacks", or whatever those big grey guns on his Supermode shoulders are called
[*]G1 Optimus Prime's left arm, preferably with the long smokestack

Thank you.

Great news! :APPLAUSE:

After what Hasbro did to us even one reason more to stick with Takaras TF:Prime toys. They re-use at least some of the first edition molds and include Targetmasters instead of glowing-mechtec crap.

Hope your RID line becomes the biggest shelf warmer Hasbro! :P

Yikes, I'll have that song in my head for weeks. Ironically, I think a few other fans "turned Japanese" the moment they saw these figures.

Is this HasTak's attempt to make us forget about losing out on the FE figures & make the inferior RID figures more palatable?

^Nope, it's Takara doing what they do and Hasbro not giving a crap.

I bet that Skywarp will never see the light of day in Hasbro's line, and while we may see these minicons somehow, they won't be included with the Hasbro figures.

Ah, but they would do a silhouette of Starscream, as that'd be the voyager class figure. Kapow also have listings for Knock-Out and Breakdown. Worryingly they're both priced as deluxe class.

Can Ratchet and Arcee be called Targetmasters? Shouldn't they be Sushi-masters or something?

As much as I want those Mini-Cons, there's no way I'm paying for Takara's premium versions of what I feel are truely horrific figures just to get them. Hopefully Hasbro will release them in Mini-Con packs.
