Thanks to TFYuki we have a new image of the upcoming Transformers Adventure Crazybolt! Crazybolt is a brand new mold that is sorta-kinda based on his appearance in the show but definitely goes off in its own direction some with regards to design. The new picture also shows that yes, the legs are articulated. He also comes with Cyclone minicon Ransack. Other members of the TAV line set to release this weekend include Overload with Backtrack, and 2 battle packs of legion class guys: one with Bumblebee, Fixit, Windblade and Thunderhoof and the other with Optimus Prime, Drift, Ratchet and Clampdown. Check out the image below, and if you have placed your order, be prepared for your shipping notification!

Is crazy bolt not being released by Hasbro? Man, I don't want to pay $40 for a deployed for my son.

He is being released, but the transformers are in a dead zone right now. it should be released within the next month or 2

Just my opinion, but I think that with the right recolor, Crazybolt would make a good Hatchet.

Pretty slick idea really

That Deployer Crazybolt and Ransack, despite not being a Deluxe, looks good enough to import. Goddammit, Takara, stop stealing my money!

Just a reminder that Ransack is a straight redeco of Backtrack, Overload's Mini-Con. This is actually the first time a Mini-Con has been switched out for the Japanese market, as the US Crazybolt will come with the Buzzsaw-like (pun intended) Hammer.

Which one does he have on the show? It looks like a small lizard guy and not like a ball.

Slicedice, who was a Torpedo Mini-Con rather than a Cyclone Mini-Con, and has no toy of his own.

Neither: he's called Slidedice and he doesn't have a toy... yet.

Probably out next month, but out at the point where it'll be easy to find mid-summer. I'm really surprised they didn't have it out sooner to coincide with the second season's airing, but that can be said for a lot of the toys in the line right now. The releases seem very reactionary.

Another fun stop motion from youheidx. This time it's Transformers TAV40 Bumblebee, TAV41 Optimus Prime and sneaks in a cameo of TAV TMC-01 Jetstorm and TAV TMC-01 Slipstream.

Those in Japan may be getting their mail orders soon for TAV VS-SP Dogfight vs. Decepticon Runamuck since Autobase Aichi has just uploaded a whopping twenty four in hand pictures onto their facebook page. We mirrored them below for your viewing pleasure. For those wondering, these were exclusive mail away figures, from company Hero X, only obtainable in Japan by ordering from the Million Publishing 2015 Generations book. Any available through western dealers had a heavy mark up but were soon sold out none the less.

Still on the hunt for Dogfight solo.
If someone is looking to split the pair, please DM.

I would really like to get Runamuck and Runabout, but they are just soooo expensive. They would look great together.

Recently teased by a certain someone, tonight we now have an extensive gallery of TakaraTomy Transformers Adventure TAV-47 Crazybolt and his "Prime of Micron" Ransack! This wacky beastformer (& Co) are likely case fresh since his street date pretty much now, and blogger Alfes2010 apparently held quite the photo session for them. See the pics below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com: home for the best Galleries and Conversation around!

The "Prime of Micron" subheading of the title is, unfortunately, a nonsensical English "translation" of マイクロンの章 ("Micron no Shō"), which more accurately translates into English as "Micron Chapter" or "Chapter of (the) Micron(s)".

But, "Prime of Micron" is official, so it's what the title's stuck with.

I love everything about this mold... except for the gimmick. The clips to hold the ball just look so awkward with the jaw closed.

This figure just reinforces why I'll never purchase a single TF from this line. Not my cup of tea as they say.

Well I wouldn't mind having Runamuk for my all-white version of Optimus Maximus....

Really? I figured Crazybolt would be right up your alley. Not to mention the monstrous Decepticons (Quillfire!).

I really like the look of this weirdo. I can't afford to snatch him up right now, so hopefully he's still available in a week or two

I would definitely recomend Quillfire and Fracture to McGrotesque if he's looking for some good TF toys out in stores right now. They are as good as any other tfs that have been released these past years and unlike some others from this line, the Hasbro version is decent enough.

Courtesy of Takara Tomy Mall - though not limited to the Japanese retailer, as these are also on Amazon Japan - we have some new stock images for the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, in the form of TAV51 Hyper Surge Bumblebee and TAV52 Strongarm with her Micron 'Sotusu'. Check them out below!

I mean, I already have the Deluxe Adventure Strongarm, but that thing is oddly delicious looking.
