In addition to the two figures we saw revealed in colour yesterday, TakaraTomyMall has also the surrounding Transformers Adventure figures: TAV44 Bumblebee and Sideswipe, TAV45 Optimus and Grimlock, and they each come with their Minicons and the clear plastic battle armour.

Next are the two collection packs from the EZ subline, featuring the smaller class of figures, and including TAV48 Bumblebee, Fixit and Winblade vs Thunderhoof, and TAV49 Optimus, Ratchet, Drift vs Clampdown - you can check them all out in the images mirrored below!

What is it with Takara's fixation on coloring Fixit peach instead of orange?

Now all the minicons are cosplaying as their partners. So cute!

All 4 Battle Pack figures are released twice: a normal standalone release (TAV40 - TAV43), then slightly redecoed as "Supreme Armor" and paired off (TAV44 and TAV45).

Takara's doing Ratchet too? Guess that pretty much confirms he'll be in the show this season.

Looking at the synopsis for the shows coming up, he may be the old friend coming back :MAXIMAL:

Either that or they're just seizing the opportunity to release an available mold.

We got two new images from TF Yuki's twitter relating to the Transformers Adventure line. One features the Deployers TAV 46 Overload and TAV 47 Crazybolt and the other features some Minicons/Microns with an added peg that is different from any of the Hasbro releases. Fellow Seibertronian Sabreblade explains that tweet in more depth:

Yuki's Tweet [...] is 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. [The image shows] how the Microns' new pegs now allow them to attach to bigger figures' 5mm ports.

Why?

It's a nice feature but not one that was necessary.

True, true. To be honest, I feel kinda honored to be able to talk with so many veterans of the TF franchise.

I remember them, but only because my son and nephews loved them.

I really like these and the possibility of making a rack and ruin using the Rook mold twice. Too bad fun pub couldn't pull it off anymore.

considering the minicon play-ability up to this point has really been relegated to the deployers only was stupid.you had minicons for characters who had a practically non articulated deployer,and a warrior figure.the peg just makes more since
