Check out the mirrored images below!

No altmode pics? Gosh, I wonder why...

You could just take a picture of the figure in a nice angle and light, then tape the picture to a wall

You never know, a picture could be just as expensive: http://www.cnet.com/news/teen-pays-735- ... e-on-ebay/

That's uncalled for. You don't agree with something he said or did? This isn't the way to handle it. Refrain from verbal insults, please.

I've been looking more at TAV figures and I'm really liking the look of some of them. Does anyone know if there reprolabels or other stickers to cover the scan codes yet, specifically for the Decepticons or even just something generic?

I have my eye on a Bloody Knock Out but the only thing that turns me off is the big circle in the chest.

I replaced the poker chip on my Bloody Knockout with a sticker so he can be Bluestreak. Those scan code sticker come off real easy.

That's great! I'm just going to use him as my go to Knock Out. Not a stretch since he's so vain and likes to get prettied up, can just imagine he got bored with his red paint job. Well, I guess I'm still undecided, I like the Bloody version but not sure if I want his classic Prime look.

Now if only we could get a Prime Breakdown that won't break the bank...

Thanks to TFYuki we have a new image of the upcoming Transformers Adventure Crazybolt! Crazybolt is a brand new mold that is sorta-kinda based on his appearance in the show but definitely goes off in its own direction some with regards to design. The new picture also shows that yes, the legs are articulated. He also comes with Cyclone minicon Ransack. Other members of the TAV line set to release this weekend include Overload with Backtrack, and 2 battle packs of legion class guys: one with Bumblebee, Fixit, Windblade and Thunderhoof and the other with Optimus Prime, Drift, Ratchet and Clampdown. Check out the image below, and if you have placed your order, be prepared for your shipping notification!

He is being released, but the transformers are in a dead zone right now. it should be released within the next month or 2

Pretty slick idea really

Just a reminder that Ransack is a straight redeco of Backtrack, Overload's Mini-Con. This is actually the first time a Mini-Con has been switched out for the Japanese market, as the US Crazybolt will come with the Buzzsaw-like (pun intended) Hammer.
