Here's a little Friday morning fun, the latest BeCool commercial from Takra Tomy. These of course are their versions of Hasbro's Transformers Bot Shots, some featuring new decos. Enjoy the commercial embedded below.

I think TakaraTomy made a mistake of omitting the game mechanic of the toys. Rock-Paper-Scissors actually came from Asia no less.

How in the world did that horrible commercial last 3 minutes? :michaelbay:

It's interesting to see how different Transformers can be portrayed in Japan versus how they are handled here in the US.

YESSSS!!! I love you Japan. I can't stop smiling. The cute here is like... diet-cute-lite, next to this barrage of sugary goodness.

But I digress, is there a definitive list of these guys? I'm curious how many different variants there are from the USA release. (outside of them all having eyes, which is adorable. ADORABLE, I tell you!!!!!! :KREMZEEK: )

Well... that was, interesting. At least they found a use for the hole at the bottom of their feet.

I never understood why Takara omitted the whole "transformers" fact from this. I mean, who are they fooling, Optimus has his autobot insignia on his grill.

What could they possibly gain from marketing this as something non-transformers, with a race of oddly coloured robots that all best friends and engage in constant arm-flapping?

So this is a test-market item? Would have sold well if it was branded under TFs.

Also, did Bumblbee get a remolded head to resemble the G1 toy? What was the point of that? :-?

I sometime question Takara's decisions...

Gonna need a gif of Optimus just staring.

Quite honestly, I love TOMY. But because I am selling a chunk of my collection in hopes of getting my Fort Max graded, I cannot even spend the time to look at these... Because then I'd be compelled to add a few things in what is supposed to be my more-focused collection! :sad:

Speaking of Fort Max... How would these guys look on my Max? They're about the right size. I know. We need Chromedome, Hardhead, Highbrow and Brainstorm in the line.

Do it, Tomy. DO IT.

Have any of these shown up for preorder anywhere? I gave a quick search and didn't see them at any of the usual stores. >:oP
