I agree the deco looks good it's just looks poorly executed. The plastic is all waxy and dull. It could use a paint app or two to make it pop. As it looks to me it's really cheap and KO looking.

I haven't taken pictures in ages. :lol:

Maybe one day I'll take a few, but I just haven't been feeling the urge to take any lately.

Courtesy of some scans of a hobby magazine, via Facebook page Planet Iacon, we have some teaser look at confirmed upcoming products from Takara Tomy, in a number of lines. Next is a number of Transformers Adventure figures, including the new Micron interactive figures like Power Surge Optimus, new Decepticon Scorponok, Warrior Windblade and more - check them out below!

I hate when we get these kinds of teasers AFTER we see what the molds look like.

I'm no big fan of the RiD line or its offshoots. But I confess - that Scorponok figure looks pretty neat....

Yup, he was revealed at NY Toy Fair this year, the pics here are gone, but he's already been shown in the show; feast your eyes upon him (though he looks alot more like botcon sandsting or double punch or whomever...)

Like the others before her, Strongarm's armor's name 激流 (gekiryu) has a specific meaning: "torrent" or "raging stream". Unlike the others, "Sawtooth" has no relation to that, but since that's a direct translation of the US name, I'm expecting it to change in due time.

No way that thing can stand up unaided. It looks too top heavy with legs like toothpicks.

Depends, the line has been making use of faux-ratchets, if so, the poses will stick, the problem point would be the ankles :-?

Not only that, but it looks pretty light, the claws in bot mode are completely hollow, I guess he can use them like boxing gloves 8-)

Curious that those large Bee and Sideswipe figures with the Mini-cons are under the TAV banner. Guess maybe the TED stuff isn't going to continue?

I believe it's the Mini-Con gimmick that qualifies them for the TAV line, and not TED. Remember, all 4 Deployers (Drift, Fracture, Overload and Crazybolt) are under the TAV line as well, despite being "simple".

Wait. WAIT. So that Scorponok partforms? DISGRACE. NEED RETRACTED.

If this is true I'll be passing on him.

Excited for Windblade though.

Not as severely as you may think: only the claws are separate pieces. Think of them as boxing gloves.

I like transformers with boxing gloves...... :MAXIMAL:
