That's a good question. My guess is that we might have another case like with Lost Age Series and Movie Advanced Series being two separate lines for the same feature presentation, only this time with the more advanced line (Adventure) being the primary line while the simpler line (HA) being the secondary, rather than vice-versa like it was with Lost Age.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:For the record, the Japanese version of the new RID line will be called "Transformers: Adventure", explaining the "TAV" part of the ID numbers.
Speaking of which, what would HA stand for? There's a second line which contains the One-Step and Three-Steps, and an AoE Power Battler:
- HA01 Bumblebee (Three-Step)
- HA02 Grimlock (Three-Step)
- HA03 Sideswipe (One-Step)
- HA04 Prowl (AoE One-Step)
- HA05 Junkion (AoE Power Battler Junkheap)

Emerje wrote:Could also be another case of using a Japanese word (like Henkei). Maybe it's Henshin (to change) Adventures since they're using 1-Step and 3-Step Changers.
Anyway, the Scoop figure would make a better Cybertron/Galaxy Force Landmine/Guardshell than Roadblock. Then they could pass off his Targetmaster partners for Minicons.

He would be quite a bit. Then again, he won't be the first foreign mold for the line as we have:
- TAV09 Swoop (Animated mold predicted)
- TAV10 Snarl (Animated mold predicted)
- TAV11 Knock Out (Beast Hunters mold predicted, unreleased in Japan)
- TAV12 Dreadwing (Beast Hunters mold predicted, unreleased in Japan)
Eagerly awaiting the decos on all of them, especially for Knock Out.
He'll be having his own (most possibly onscreen) adventure in the afterlife.Shuttershock wrote:Decent amount of merchandise for a guy who's dead and at most will be acting as a blue Jedi spirit mentor.

It's Peter Cullen voicing him. You know how he feels about Optimus staying dead. He'll be back at some point as Optimus Supreme.Shuttershock wrote:Sabrblade wrote:He'll be having his own (most possibly onscreen) adventure in the afterlife.Shuttershock wrote:Decent amount of merchandise for a guy who's dead and at most will be acting as a blue Jedi spirit mentor.
Well that's kind of disappointing if it's true. Especially if it somehow results in him being reborn again.

This is the aligned continuity, he's already died and been reborn once before.

Don't forget that right before Optimus sacrificed himself he retired the title of Prime and essentially ended the age of Primes. So if he comes back, he's no longer got any real authority to take command from the leaders who'd be already in charge during his inevitable return. Just cuz he's Optimus Prime doesn't mean he's automatically made the boss.Shuttershock wrote:Well I didn't discount that Optimus would be back, I just figured they'd wait until a new show came along (new continuity that is). If the stated story of RID is to have Bee as a leader in his own right, then it would only discredit him to bring back Prime.
As always time will make prophets or fools of each of us speculators, but it's a curious thought to consider with this ostensibly new approach.

Oh that. Right. Thought you meant something else.prjkt wrote:Sabrblade wrote:When?prjkt wrote:This is the aligned continuity, he's already died and been reborn once before.
Ok, maybe not exactly "died" but according to the Covenent of Primus he took himself into the Well of Allsparks, basically sacrificing everything he was to be reborn as one of the new Cybertronians. Only regained his memory was he received the Matrix, centuries later.

The image also reveals what Optimus looks like in his robot mode and gives you a peek as to what his transformation is like. Previously, Hyperchange Optimus Prime was only seen in his vehicle mode.

Well, so far all of them seem to be based on animals, though made humanoid. Yes, that would technically made them robotic furries... The Japanese releases of Knock Out and Dreadwing would fit kinda too, with their animal armor from the predicted Beast Hunters molds.

Excellent point, Jelze, I had not thought of that. That makes the current decepticons a certain evolved form of where the Prime toys were going
