Various sources have announced that they have received solicitations from Takara Tomy for a new Japanese series of Transformers figures, the TG line, most likely an acronym for Transformers Generations. Starting the line off is TG-01 Optimus Prime and TG-02 Autobot Jazz, which will be the Japanese releases of the Fall of Cybertron figures. As with many Japanese releases of North American figures, collectors can expect different paint apps and the possibility of chrome highlights.

The first preorders for these figures can be found at site sponsor Kapow Toys

I'm listening. Wonder if Shockwave will get a separate release here too. It would be hard to believe the Arms Micron version being the only release.

A good paint job would help quite a bit with these molds, and considering the rising costs of them I'm much more open to importing at this point.

I'm not holding my breath for chrome, shiny paint however...

pics or it didn't happen...

Although I'm not sure a nice, shiny coat of paint can make these lackluster figs the jam either way...

Full Metal Hero says that chrome is "confirmed".

Good point. That will be an interesting one to see how it's handled. I wonder if the Arms Micron figure will just be integrated into this TG line.

So it's like Henkei then? OK then.

btw I wish TakaraTomy had gone with a designation other than "TG"

Are North America figures different somehow to those we get in Europe?

Only the packaging is different, the EU Deluxe cards are smaller than the rest of the world's by 1/6th. The figures are all the same.
