e-Hobby has posted lots of new images for several upcoming Henkei figures.

Red Alert due out in April.








Smokescreen due out in April.










Minibot Attack Team, which features Beachcomber, Cliffjumper, and Brawn. Due out in March.










Minibot Spy Team, which features Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie. Due out in March.

Henkei Smokescreen dropped the yellow! SOLD! It looks leagues better now.

I don't know what exactly it is they do, but their minibot teams look so vibrant compared to the Hasbro versions. Maybe it's fotoshooping, but I hope not. I dearly want that spy team, despite the fact that it's the worst spy team ever.

I will not buy another Sunstreaker, I will not buy another Sunstreaker, I will not buy another Sunstreaker, I will not buy another Sunstreaker................

Damn...

Well we'll see how the Hasbro one compares because this Henkei one looks mighty fine...

OMG!!! Look at that red chrome! Damn those minibots look awesome. It's a great time to be a Transformer fan.

A red tank being member of a "Spy Team"?

Warpath: (whispering) So what's the BAM! plan?

Wheelie: Sharkticons make quieter pets, we'll be killed by your Tourette's.

Warpath: BAM! Sorry, I can't BAM! help it. Think they heard us?

Galvatron: Here's a hint.

Those are awesome that Somkescreen and that Red Alert are mine!!!

Red Alert is looking much nicer than his previous pics.

Smokescreen is looking great too.

Brawn seems a much nicer version that the Hasbro one (better green, and I prefer the yellow headlights):



Cosmos and Beachcomber seems the same (except for autobot symbols maybe).

Cliffjumper I'm not that interested in since he has no new head, but if I get Brawn then I'll end up with him anyway.

Wheelie looks a bit faded, Universe one is probably better.

Warpath looks like he has metallic red paint and is missing a yellow paint app that is in the Universe version.

So I might end up getting the Universe "Spy" team members, and Henkei everything else.

R.I.P Wallet.

LOL NICKOLAI, that's hysterical!!

Wow, that Red Alert is pretty nice and Henkei Smokescreen will be mine at some point, especially since I don't own any version of that mold. But Warpath is the bomb (some pun intended). That's the best picture I've seen of the mold in general and the Henkei version is pretty solid, especially for such a little guy. SOLD!

shouldn't the attack team feature warpath and the spy team feature beachcomber

Eeeeeexcellent. I wonder what Universe Red Alert will look like?

So Red alert's Tu-Tone line isn't even? Hmm i smell a Sideswipe repaint coming up! oh and reprolabels

Brawn's face is still black...that makes me angry, it could be much more show accurate.

Sideswipe repainted from a Red Alert mold which is already a Sideswipe repaint? I'm lost.

However, a G2 Sideswipe would be freaking awesome!!!! And Clamp Down and Deep Cover, and Tigertracks, give me all of them!

Just imagine something off the mark and disappointing.

Red Alert looks sweet. And I wish Hasbro had gone with that color for Brawn; it looks much more like the old G1 version. On the other hand, I like how the bright green looks in the midst of the other primary-colored Universe figures.

Red and Smokescreen are preordered!

WOW those look good!!!

Red alert looks amazing !!!! And here I thought I was done buying another sunstreaker repaint

BOO YA! I called it. I'm loving both Red Alert and Smokescreen.

Why didn't they make Henkei Sideswipe's spoiler red chrome like Smokescreen? It would've looked so much better IMHO.

nice i dont need sunstreaker repaint all ready have one dont need 2 or 3 more to the set minibots im really looking forward to henkei version or hasbro version

So the attack team consists of:
a strong little guy who'll die if shot in the shoulder (Brawn)
A little aggressive traitor everywhere seeing weapon loving guy (Cliffjumper)
And a hippy who hates fighting (Beachcomber)

While the Spy team consists of:
Annoying but friendly flying sources guy (fits the team)
A totally annoying rhyming little monster (Wheely)
And the fecking turrets syndrome having loud tank (Warpath)

No wonder the Bots keep getting shot to smithereens.

I totally agree! Botcon Maybe? I want them all especialy G2 Sideswipe if they make it, but they can ditch the green gun!

That was my thoughts exactly. Hasbro got the win on Sideswipe.
