I think they look nothing like the movie, but Prime looks badass!

At least they transform. Ill have to see the finished figures before i make a judgment. I like the idea but i have to see how they work.

They look nothing like their movie versions, but this is still nevertheless a pretty clever idea.

Its the nature of Hasbro/Takara/whatever. Barring BW/BM (and arguable even then) all they've been doing since 88 or so is recycling old stuff.

Unfortunately, it's a Japanese release only.

The concept is pretty interesting. They like a cross between Transformers and Gundam. Plates that snap on and off, but able to transform.

They'd better release these outside of Japan, because I really want the Bumblebee. Unfortunately, right now it looks like they'll only be released in Japan.

Can I ask you a question? Ok, here it is: when HAVEN'T Hasbro and Takara released new versions of existing toys?

They are far from acurate, but I like the idea.

I'm pretty bored with the movie line at this point, but may import these just cause they are something different, and an idea that I'd like to see developed further

i got SixGunner and Knox myself but puttin the armor off and on and fittin the bot in car mode is a real pain and i c y the became shelf warmers in my area.

They fun 2 play with the but 2 much armor 2 plug and attach

Same here, I've looked at them often, but just don't like the designs of that line.

Not impressed.

by **Norcinu** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 5:11 am

Well, if it's only gonna be released in Japan then I shouldn't bother. I'll just save up for TF Animated.

by **Auto Bot** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 5:21 am

Are these released yet?

by **Steeleye** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 7:32 am

Hmm... interesting. I want colour and detail pics now. Until then I'll reserve judgement.

by **Might_Jin** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 8:00 am

This remind me to some sort of Sochaku Henshin Toys,
like er... Knight of sodiac series or Kamenrider series.

by **Lefthand convoy** » Sat Nov 17, 2007 9:24 am

The bulk and massiveness of Prime reminds me of Big Convoy a little. In my opinion they need to beef up Prime like that more ofter. Bumble Bee is blah

It's a gimmicky concept, but what isn't when it comes to the movie toys?

ahh but if you really think about it, the gimmicks are in the fact that the Bot and toy can transform, and the armor gives various disguises.. which in reality brings this toy even closer to the original concept!!

I am totally excited about these toys coming out, even more so then i was about the movie toys that have already been released!!

I mean where else can you get a Protoform mode, Comet space mode, a Robot mode, and altmode all in one bot!!!

this design is fabulous!! It's every movie fans dream come true!! I just hoep they make them in Voyager size or larger!! Takara tomy, lets use silver in place of that cheap toy Grey...Please... :PRAY:
