Weapon: Gattling Gun

We now have official images of Takara Tomy's Transformers Go! Samurai combiner team of G-01 Kenzan, G-02 Jinbu, and G-03 Ganou courtesy of Toys'R'Us Japan. They've also posted official images of G-04 Gaidora, a redeco/retool of Deluxe Beast Hunters Lazerback with a brand new head sculpt.

Additionally, Takara Tomy has revealed a new set of campaign microns to be released in along side the Samurai Combiner team. The figures are new translucent redecos of Arms Microns from the previous line. Zan (blue L.P.) for Kenzan, Jin (yellow S.2) for Jinbu, and Gan (red Sou) for Ganou. These will be available as freebies at select Japanese retailers with the purchase of the corresponding figure.

Nope. Zan is the L.P redeco, Gan is the Sou redeco. Again:

Zan -> Kenzan
Jin -> Jinbu
Gan -> Ganou

I think we should stop torturing poor El Duque now.

You guys are killing me with edits! (but I appreciate it )

No word yet, but I'm sure the question will be asked at next month's BotCon.

I'm anticipating a simialr answer given about Voyager Breakdown.

Something like, "It's a cool figure and we'd love to release it, and we'll do what we can to see if we can find a way to release it, but we can't say anything for certain at this time, so... stay tuned."

Stay tuned to what exactly? Answers like this are just un acceptable, I mean, how hard can it be just to say "No, sorry, you'll have to import that particular figure/case of figures since were not japan and thus have limitations that they don't which makes absolutely no sense since we work together to design the figures and could probably have them made here in the US as well but don't just because."

Definitely getting a Prowl vibe off of Officer Barbrady's vehicle mode over there.

Hot Spice is boxy. Just what I like to see.

I like Jimbo's jet mode, but I don't particularly care for how the robot looks.

Odd that there are no official images of their combined mode.

Gaidora's deco and head look great, but I still do not like that mold.

They call me “Tanker Chungus”!

Some images of the combined modes wouldn't have gone amiss, Takara.

So, JelZe GoldRabbit, Sabrblade, what would be an appropriate english name for Gaidora?

I totally agree but they're probably just covering their asses in case they change their minds later. But then plenty of figures they announce for release end up getting canceled anyway, so I dunno.

Mindmaster, I am loving these fake names you're giving these combiner guys.

As for said combiner guys, they don't look as good in closeup as they did before. Mostly not interested unless Hasbro brings them here.
