TakaraTomy Transformers Adventure: TAV-47 Crazybolt In And Out Of Packaging

The "Prime of Micron" subheading of the title is, unfortunately, a nonsensical English "translation" of マイクロンの章 ("Micron no Shō"), which more accurately translates into English as "Micron Chapter" or "Chapter of (the) Micron(s)".

But, "Prime of Micron" is official, so it's what the title's stuck with.

This figure just reinforces why I'll never purchase a single TF from this line. Not my cup of tea as they say.

Really? I figured Crazybolt would be right up your alley. Not to mention the monstrous Decepticons (Quillfire!).

I really like the look of this weirdo. I can't afford to snatch him up right now, so hopefully he's still available in a week or two

Courtesy of Takara Tomy Mall - though not limited to the Japanese retailer, as these are also on Amazon Japan - we have some new stock images for the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, in the form of TAV51 Hyper Surge Bumblebee and TAV52 Strongarm with her Micron 'Sotusu'. Check them out below!

Micron 'Sotusu'

This is why online translators for Japanese names are not a thing . It actually translates to Sawtooth: ソー (sou) is "saw" (Remember Swerve's Arms Micron?) and トゥース (tuusu) is "tooth".

I would definitely recomend Quillfire and Fracture to McGrotesque if he's looking for some good TF toys out in stores right now. They are as good as any other tfs that have been released these past years and unlike some others from this line, the Hasbro version is decent enough.

I believe you recomended Fracture to me some months back after Is said I wasn't about RiD/Adventure toys. It was definitely a hit. I have him prominently displayed on my makeshift pirates shelf and he fits right in.

Thats so great to hear Mr Scram, glad you like him! I do try to get the word out on how good he is. Not that he is the best ever, but in a line that most fans are ignoring because it is addressed to kids (as Transformers toys have been for 30 years), he really is a toy that anyone can enjoy. And people might miss out on this good to honest Transformer toy that is as good if not better than every other standard tf on the shelves right now

I like the weapon options too. Rifle, staff, or best of all- arm cannon!

What do you think about Megatronus? I was maybe going to pick him up as well.

He is epic, it's everything thats great about leader class megs, but with a new and smart transformation, and two head options (I personally like mask, but you can get the regular one too) Definitely recommend him, you won't be disappointed

He's a good transformer but he suffers from a lack of height, predictable H tank transformation and visible head (though that last part is far from a deal breaker as it is with other TFs). I still like him, but it lacks that brilliant originality fracture has. I really feel someone's TF collection is lacking if someone doesnt get Fracture, but its not the same with Megatronus.

mmm, true, but he's still a good, fun toy

Oh for sure, I am glad to own him and the other Decepticons. I just wanted to give a fair assessment of the figure to people who may be apprehensive about the line as a whole. I am comparing him to all TF figures and him being comparable is in itself something to celebrate in a line aimed at kids.
