Visors? We don't need no stinking visors! Look in my eye, look deepy...

Actually it would be really cool if Battle Mode Jazz had a visor.

Well in the show, didnt he put on his visor during his battle, making them part of his battle mode?

I think he did put on a visor once, but maybe more for scanning? I haven't gotten that far yet.

Jazz extended it when he fought that irritating obese, with self image issues shark like 'con that transforms into a truck like thingie.

Jazz was only in one episode, so anyone who saw the episode he was in has seen all of him for this season.

Man, that o/p looks nice

Oh yeah, jazz looks really nice too, I guess; no seriously, all those little details really bring out the designs of the mold, especially on the face. the car mode also looks really nice, it's amazing what a little paint on some headlights can do to the overall look of the mold. It seriously puts hasbro's offering to shame :roll:

One thing for sure, TT took a risk and finally gave us (Bayformers and MP-10 not included) at least an Optimus complete with functional trailer.

To be fair, it was Hasbro Studios who came up with this particular character design. TakaraTomy was fortunate enough that it was a design they could work a functioning trailer into.

Thinking more about it, when was the last time we got an Optimus design in a cartoon that actually integrated a trailer into his main robot body along with the truck cab (a la Star Convoy) instead of just the cab alone constituting his entire body (leaving the trailer as a separate piece)? Is this the first time this has happened, cartoon-wise?

I'm pretty sure it is. It's also the first toy to have a functional trailer integrated with the main robot body since Star Convoy no?

Would Cybertron/GF Prime count?

I'm iffy on that one since he still had his back end as a separate piece for his standard robot mode, only using it for his Super Mode (a la both Fire Convoy/RiD Prime and Armada Prime), and that it's a little odd to refer to the back end of a fire truck as a "trailer".

No because his trailer is seperate and becomes his armour in a power up version. It's the same with Ultimate Optimus and Fire Convoy. What Sabreblade is looking for is a trailer that isnt a seperate piece of Optimus' robot mode.

I had not idea that that OP mold actually had a "functional" trailer. That's pretty cool. (I still don't want it, but it's pretty cool.)

News Credits: 41 · by **Cobotron** » Thu Jul 16, 2015 9:59 am

I certainly wouldn't count the toy as such, but did he power up in the show, or was he just always wearing his wings? Been a while since I watched the show.
Sabr, your right about a fire truck with trailer. :lol:

I think this is the few times we've seen this in toy or show form.
It's usually a job reserved for Ultra Magnus.

Via the Takara Tomy Transformers page, we have an update on the new iteration of the Lucky Draw campaign taking place for the Adventure line - a gold plated Warrior class Optimus Prime (you can see the Hasbro version in its gallery here), in the limited number of 10 items, and a selection of 30 batches from the TAV line for 'second prize'.

The contest, running from now until 30th September, is open to collectors living in Japan, as shown in the poster below!

So how many Gold Primes does this make?

News Credits: 6188 · by **Va'al** » Thu Jul 23, 2015 11:59 am

Also from Autobase Aichi we have an official image update - originally from TakaraTomyMall - on the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, combining (heh) different toys from two lines - Hasbro Combiner Wars and Robots in Disguise 2015 - featuring redecos of Legends class Blackjack and Groove as TAV25 Runabout and TAV26 Override respectively, plus the Micron Shooter Fracture, its Micron, and Big Steeljaw. Check them all out below!

The mold actually works for override much better. He just needs some guns. I think I might get him.

And they found a clever, non-intrusive way to hide his sticker.

The Trigger-Bot well that is actually appealing not only will the colours look OK with the Protectobots they will also go OK with Victorian and Sky Lynx too (better than Wreck Gar does).

Does Runabout get some sort of prize for the most number of Decepticon logos in the smallest space - (Should have left the hood one off though as it messes up the look of him when used as a torso piece).

And even if Takara might like you to pretend you are not going to do that - people still will.
