DO we know if the Hasbro release of these minicons also have these ports?

I don't think they do.
Wish Roller would hurry up and roll out to my house.

For me, I really want to stick Scrounge to Comp's forearm using glue dots so Computron can become Captain America.

I get with a new character (especially if it's a mold you don't have), it's relatively easy to pull the trigger.
However, when we're talking the swaying factor between two sets that are roughly $100 each,
on top of the fact that they're really different in appearance from one another...
It's not like I care, I just don't quite get it. And yes yes, to each their own.
Just interesting to me to have a legends-sized transforming wheel boss the decision on a full combiner purchase.
Pretty sure that would ignite buyer's remorse in me in about .2.
Anyway, one good thing for people is the differences should make a decision between the two versions easier no matter which you prefer.
Taking back Hasbro's Scattershot and canceling the PE head/chest set just freed up $58 to help me get UW Superion in less than two weeks.

With the wrecking ball hands, that mold would make a great Sinker for a hypothetical Heralds of Unicron combiner.

This mold continues to impress. If only the hasbro version of the minicons has the ports to do this.

While I don't have any Hasbro mini-cons to test it on, this shouldn't be too hard to replicate using the straight bit from a hard plastic crazy straw as 5mm posts.
Also: Roller? More like Bowler, amirite?
*EDIT*
Here's the EnergonPub article where Jin Saotome shared his discovery:

Now I need to get a set of TAV minicons just to do that with Roller. I know my son's hasbro minicons don't have that port.

Damn! I thought I was out on more Takara imports, but they just sold be on the spheres for Rook/Roller.

They arent sold individually. They can only be aquired (like the Hasbro version) with the figures they are teamed up with:
http://tfsource.com/transformers-advent ... sideswipe/
http://tfsource.com/transformers-advent ... -grimlock/
I put TF Source listings because some are already sold out from japanese retailers:

I don't care for the Rook mold or the silly mini-cons but I thought it looked like some kinda earth-sports-mad TF in the thumbnail image, mistaking the orange minicon for a basketball. Like how Jazz and Blaster love earth-music as part of their personalities.

Isn't this more Adventure news than UW news since it's about the Microns' new pegs?

The focus was on Wandering Roller, but people are getting hung up on the Minicons.

Yuki's Tweet that these pics came from is promoting the Micron's specifically, though. It's announcing that the Microns for the Adventure subline called "Prime of Micron" are to be released at the end of the month and that new 5mm pegs have been added to the molds. Roller isn't mentioned anywhere in the Tweet, he's just being used as a sample figure to show how the Microns' new pegs now allow them to attach to bigger figures' 5mm ports.D-Maximus_Primal wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Isn't this more Adventure news than UW news since it's about the Microns' new pegs?

Whatever his intent, it's also a better look at the Roller figure than we've gotten, as far as I know, so it works for both.
