New Toys Revealed for Takara Tomy's Transformers Adventure Line

Posted by ScottyP Jan 23, 2015 at 9:08am CST 43,572 views
Did you wake up this morning and think "You know, it's been a long time since Takara revealed some really strange redecos. I wonder what I can do to get my fix of those?" Well, if you did, then you're going to enjoy this news!

Seibertron user Autobot Genocide has sent us a heads up regarding new images found on the Kapow Toys Facebook Page of seven upcoming figures to be released, we think, in the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, which appears to be their analog, at least sort of, to the 2015 Robots in Disguise line from Hasbro. We've mirrored the images below.


A redeco of Animated Swoop in a style slightly reminiscent of the G1 toy? You'll have to tell us what you think of this one by replying to this post!


The Beast Hunters Knock Out mold looking a little bit like Bluestreak, but still with a Decepticon logo.


A more show-accurate version of Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus featuring a nice looking Forge of Solus Prime accessory.


Robots in Disguise's upcoming Warrior Class Optimus Prime in a slick black color scheme.


A redeco of Beast Hunters Dreadwing in a more subdued color scheme as compared to the Hasbro release.


Generations Scoop looks to be coming in a style to help him fit right in with the Constructicons. Or maybe this could be your Neo-Armada Scavenger?


Finally, the Robots in Disguise Strongarm mold looks to be getting used as a new Decepticon that's one part Movieverse Ratchet, and a little bit like the Movie redeco of Energon Strongarm.

Not much is known about these figures other than what's in these images, including potential names, release dates, and pricing, but as soon as we have more information, it'll be posted here at Seibertron.com.

Those are Nemesis Prime and Roadblock. Roadblock I'm guessing is meant to be or meant to homage the G2 Auto Roller of the same name.

As for the other strange redecos, I have guesses, but not ones that make much sense. However, that Strongarm redeco could be the "R Strongarm" that was listed before.

That R Strongarm seems to be a Decepticon would explain the initially weird Grimlock vs. R Strongarm set. :-B

Swoops's colors look familiar, hang on... *looks though TFU.info* O good grief, is he supposed to be Laserbeak? :shock:

Swoop and Knock-Out are must-buys (I want more redecoed Hunters!), Roadblock is maybe, I wanna see how they deal with Holepunch and CaliburstTracer.

First things that came to my mind with that deco were Flamewar and Windblade, which (as I said) make no sense. :P

For Knock Out, though he looks like Bluestreak in altmode, his robot mode deco reminds me of Crosscut. More nonsense. 8-}

And R Strongarm's deco looks to me like, get ready for it, TransTech Megatron! :lol:

Or Brawn. Or Roadbuster. Or Movie 1 Srongarm.

Just like that, more images surface of toys from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, this time coming from the Toy Dojo Facebook Page. These images include a look at Takara's versions of many of the Robots in Disguise Warrior Class figures, as well as a mostly purple redeco of Animated Snarl.

There are also some shadowy images that suggest versions of Animated Lockdown, Generations Skrapnel, Combiner Wars Bombshell, and Robots in Disguise Drift are on the way as well.

We've mirrored the images below.

Kickback is the grasshopper, you probably mean Skrapnel. :)

Snarl's colors ring a bell somewhere... Then again,. I may be seeing things, as the dinos seem to follow "main color is black, secondary depends on dino" rule (Green for Grimlock, Red for Swoop, Purple for Snarl).

And I called Animated Lockdown and Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus :DANCE:

Crud, yes. Yes I did, was in too much of a hurry. Well, maybe one of our more experienced noble news crew that knows how to update the front page content will know how to fix it :lol:

Snarl reminds me of the recent Dinobot Slug toy deco.

So I'm a bit out of the loop is this line where takara will be releasing the RiD stuff (as how they used Go! For beast hunters)? Plus will they be putting together any fiction for this? As for the figures I'm digging the swoop and snarl redecos, I'm quite partial to those molds, same with lock down. ..whenever they reveals what the scheme is

This is the Japanese RID line, yes, but with additional molds from Animated, Beast Hunters (those that weren't part of the Go! line, it seems), and Generations.

The RID cartoon will be airing in Japan under the new name of "Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Adventure". It is unknown how the dub will handle the show's relation to TF: Prime since Japan never got the third season of Prime (it got Go!'s cartoon instead).

Yup, this is TakaraTomy's counterpart of RID 2015, though right now it looks more like a waste-bin line:

- Generations Scoop, Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus, Dreadwing and Knock Out were never released in Japan before.
- Animated Swoop and Snarl are probably put in to compliment Grimlock
- The Combiner Wars Legends are probably considered too small to be released stand-alone in Transformers Legends. Had a Kickback been in the works, that would have a different story for Bombshell and Shrapnel.

DRAT! Missed opportunity for a gray Grimlock.

But wow, what an odd mix of lines. Looks like there was a traffic jam on Cybertron, and they just took whomever was on the off-ramp and made a toy line. Ha ha ha.

Some of these decos DO look considerably better... CrocOut sure got a classy re-deco. Any green construction vehicle is a must-buy, too.

As for the RID tv show figures, it doesn't seem like the molds are nice enough to warrant importing a snazzier Takara paint app.

Honestly, these don't look to shabby, I always liked the TFA Swoop mold, so if this doesn't sell much I'll be grabbing him. I'd also grab the Lockdown, I need one that isn't a midget. :BANG_HEAD: And that Scourge deco Prime looks amazing.
