"GREGEVOR"
Care to explain? I dont get the history part of it or why it wasnt official before.
Like the Beast Wars lines before it, Car Robots used no English for the boxes except for the faction names (Cybertron and Destronger), so the names were never given official English translations. Fortunately most were pretty straightforward as they used whole English words in the names, but the more "nonsensical" ones were a little bit harder to effectively translate. The Commandos/Combatrons are especially guilty of that. Here are the names with the most common unofficial translation in bold, plus a few (not always correct) variations:
Ruination: バルディガス Barudigasu, Baldigus, Vuldigus (probably from "Bruticus")
Not as bad Cohrada/Corahda and Rartorata, which is fortunate.

That Ultra Magnus looks exactly like the RiD Beast Hunters version but with a gold headed hammer.

The same general shade as Platinum Ultra Magnus in fact:

I'm curious to know how so far we got the Nemesis Prime repaint of the Warrior Class Optimus Prime figure but not Optimus himself? Does this mean that we could possible get an Optimus Prime figure in the Warrior or a larger size class that's more like Voyager down the line for Optimus? Seems unlikely but still.
Also since the Adventure line has some Animated figures in it I'd love to see Animated Blackout get another shot at being in the line but done in movie colours and maybe for fun add more Animated figures in it like a Blitzwing that's done in his original Diaclone colours for example.

It seems for the takara series, Hyperchange Optimus will be their Optimus figure. It,s right there on the same page. That is a larger figure, about the size of a voyager clacc. Any different mold would have to come from Hasbro first as there dont seem to be any takara exclusive molds here.

God damn does Bloody Knockout look fantastic; I don't care what anyone says. It's dashing, handsome, and very dapper; I can only imagine in some alternate universe this colorscheme is used for some kind of business man that moonlights as a serial killer version Knockout.

I wish it sounded as awesome as that when I transform stuff. Also, funny how Takara now makes review videos of those toys obsolete.

Bloody Knockout and Junkion both look really nice. Might have to consider picking them up online somewhere.

But that Hyperchange/3-Step Optimus is part of the Easy Dynamic Series rather than the Adventure Series. Its ID number uses "TED" instead of "TAV".
Takara must have some reason for their not yet showing a "TAV" figure for Optimus. Whether they pull a "Battle Command Optimus Prime" and make their own new mold, or are waiting for something else to come from Hasbro for them to use as a TAV Optimus, I just can't imagine them forgoing putting an Optimus toy in the Adventure Series.
Madeus Prime wrote:Why do I kind of want Gregevor? Or AKA Female Rollbar/Greejeeber?
Might not be female after all since its box art isn't like Takara's usual depiction of fembot box art and its face in the art doesn't look much like the toy's face.
We'll have to wait until someone get a hold of the single-packed figure's bio and looks at what the Japanese text says. I say the single-packed figure's bio since the bio for the 2-pack with Grimlock doesn't say much of anything about either character, besides them both being rivals and such.

Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure TAV In Hand Round Up
Posted: Sat Mar 21, 2015 2:14 pm
by shajaki
Seibrtron is comin at you with another slew of Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure figures, opened and in hand courtesy of blogger Alfes2010. Up first is the first two verses packs, TAV VS-01 Bumblebee VS Steeljaw, and TAV VS-02 Grimlock VS Rollbar. The only one here that really stands apart is Rollbar (or Gregevor) who is a drastic turn coat repaint of StrongArm. Next we have TAV-07 Roadblock who is hauntingly familiar to G1 Decepticon Scrapper and shares his body from last years Generations figure Scoop. Alfes follows this up with two Transformers Animated alumni TAV-09 Swoop and TAV-10 Slag. While Swoop is fairly similar to his original counterpart, Slag appears to be sporting the Age of Extinction color scheme. Scroll down to see the pics, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more updates to the TAV line!

Gregevor? Is that just a new, really funny name or is that A REFERENCE I am just NOT getting? Also, what is with that terrible sticker application? But, seriously, Gregevor? I swear, if that isn't the name for a cannibal who only eats guys named Greg then I'm a monkey's uncle.
Steeljaw looks nice, but not nice enough for me to buy a second version of the toy (if I need mine to have eyebrows I will do it myself). The Scoop, Swoop and Snarl repaints are actually pretty awesome. I may get those?

Think Greejeeber from Car Robots, aka RiD Rollbar.
