I don't find crap. Can we get a specific link?

I might be missing it, but I can't navigate this site to find anything new.

Can anyone post some of the links? I mean I've scoured it top to bottom and got jack diddly squat.

EDIT: The O.P. should've clarified...it works in I.E. only. FireFox will not load the site correctly.

(and yes, I double checked. It *only* works in I.E.)

In I.E. you can see the full website. Which is shame, Takara should be willing to support all the browsers.

Why the hell is that Flash component so damn tiny? And I can't seem to find this new content, either...

No, you're thinking of Seaclamp. This is Gimlet of the Jointron Brothers. A Maximal.

I stand corrected.

I'm a mold collector and usualy skip repaints reguardless of faction switch, as it's something to common. I just figure if I don't support it, well get more figures than color patterns.

Still, sometimes that workes out. I have a BW RazorClaw, and knowing he was used as both a Maximal and Predicon figure makes him a great precursor to BW Rampage(at least to me, that statement is not based on any canon fact).

So with no sarcasm intended(a shame we need such disclamers) Thanks for the education.

Also, it's kinda funny because for the Tripredicus mold, I had Cicadicon switch sides in my collective.

Now you got me thinking deeper :-?

And just one more thing and please I'm asking to be corrected if need be, are these the guys in the opening scene of BWII The Movie that attack the pirate ship?

I've only seen a grain downloaded version with no sound and subtitles, and figured it was the Japanesse Tripredicus.

If I'm wrong, I can laugh about it!

Yes, these are the three singing, dancing, Mexican hat hearing Jointrons brothers who fought the Seacons in the movie opening.

AHHH, see I always chalked this up to a Con domestic dispute. So outside of the Seacon/God Neptune reissue, where there any other Predicon combiners inside the Japanesse BW animes?

Just Magmatron I think. Another guy issued as a Predacon in Japan and as a Maximal in the US, but this time in the came colors and seemingly as the same guy.

Clear windows.

On Takara-TOMY's site, when you see the REGULAR JAZZ page, you can see dark windows too, but only when you cklick the "vehicle" view. On all other images, including the transformation sequence, Jazz has clear windows.
I guess it's the same case with FB Jazz. (Why either car picture has dark windows? I don't know)

However, the definite proof is that this guy's got Jazz Final Battle. (Remy's)

So, clear windows.
Don't know if posting the above link is against the rules?
