Well, I can only see the first pic, none of the TFW pics, but it lloks like a Protoform Bumblebee with snap-on kibble. Not what I expected, and very clever.
Hopefully it transforms.

Logged into my old TFW account (been 4 years since I logged in), and she is a sight to be seen.

Can't see the attachments. Can someone please mirror? (Use a Photobucket or something, so it's not on the server's forums in case they throw a hissy fit over there.)

They look pretty cool from what you can make out.
Wish TAKARA TOMY sold over here the way HASBRO does.

Im thinking that the trans scan ones are protoforms that you can put the car parts on. If they can tansform the figures might be cool.

Transcanning Bumblebee reminds me of the Centurions cartoon and toys from the 80's. I loved that series and always wanted the figures (I think they made five!). I even collected all 3 comics that were published. They were kind of like human Transformers (earth, sea and land based):

(Then again I also liked Manimal and Automan!)

I love the concept, A decent Protoform, with snap on Armor when he decided to change his appearance.. leave it to the Japanese to ramp up the model and hobby aspect of the movie characters.. Whoo HOO!!! Nice, I will definitely buy those.. I wonder if they will be very detailed and articulated..??
And oh, Almost forgot, I gotta Nab me a "SISTA" Arcee...

Looks interesting, i'd like to see a better pic of Bumblebee. Arcee looks like a good repaint.

If that's indeed what this is, and it does in fact transform, Awesome idea! Sounds like one of the better gimmicks they've come up with, and if the execution is up to scratch, they're onto a winner. It'd be extra cool if it came with parts for both Camaros.
Definitely looks like a must-have item. Going by the chart, this'll come out after Allspark Power. It looks like mid-March for the Japanese release.
Hope it's not a Japan exclusive item.
I also see they're releasing a repaint of one of the older Primes in movie colours as some sort of dvd offer. Good idea.

I noticed something else. Looks like Screen Battles 'Capture of Bumblebee' might have a new metallic paint-job. I don't know about anyone else, but it's news to me if it does.

A black female Transformer? Damn, Hasbro are really reaching out to the minorities now. Next week: Lesbian Disabled Arcee! With motorised wheelchair action.

Thank you. I appreciate it. (I'm sure many others do as well)
Arcee in black is terrible in my book. (The original color scheme works so much better.)
The snap on armored Protoforms...eh. I'll wait and see.
But those Allspark Power Deluxe and Voyager class figures...sweet. Like plastic candy.

Black Arcee is looking good, the sticker over BB isn't helping.
