http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF ... index.htmlI was looking at the Encore site from Takara's website and across the top it has a link for Characters (see above link) and it shows Scorponok, Ironhide, Ratchet, Bumblebee and Jazz in addition to Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave.

I saw this the other day and wondered the same thing...

Definitely a translation error for sure.

I also noticed on the site they have "Conboy" instead of Convoy.

Reissue Mega Zarak? I'm sold. Assuming that this does happen what are the chances of a Black Zarak somewhere down the road at an affordable price? I may just have to take up religion just so that I can pray for that.

It would be really cool, but I hope it doesn't have something to do with the movie toys...
EDIT: Aah, obviously a look at the site tells me my theory is wrong.

Damn, I gotta get me an Ironhide, and a better condition Jazz from that one, then. Sweet! There's hope for a Trypticon if Scorpy's getting reissued.

Damn I hope so. Love that retro G1 packaging! Wish they did that with the reissue line in North America when it was still being released through TRU.

This would be fantastic if true. That's a virtual rundown of my most wanted G1 toys at the moment. I'd preorder all of those on day one!

i would get those, but i think those are just kind of profiles.

Takara wants my money more than Hasbro ever did, if what you found Kranix turns out to be true.

I'm in for the Scorponok/Mega Zarak if true. Maybe a Jazz. Either don't want or need the othes.

I believe these characters have profiles because they were each in the movie. Well, Soundwave wasn't but he is an iconic character and alot of people I know thought Frenzy was suppose to be Soundwave.
As for being part of the Encore line, I think they all have a good shot with the exception of Scorponok. Ironhide and Ratchet were suppose to be TRU reissues before it was cancelled and they have been reissued by Takara.
I'd also like to see Bumblebee reissued with his anime head along with the other 1984 minibots. A set of 6 packaged similar to the Ehobby repaints would be great.
