TakaraTomyMall has just listed some new Transformers Q Figures which also gives us our first look at them.

The new figures include:

QT09 Optimus Prime (Nissan GT-R R35)
QT10 Wheeljack (Lancia Stratos Turbo Gr.5)
QT11 Autobot Meister (Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86)
QT12 Sunstreaker (Mazda RX-7 FD3S)
QT13 Alert (Lamborghini Countach LP500S)
QT14 Smokescreen (Nissan Fairlady Z 280Z-T)

The photos have been mirrored below.

Am I the only one who thinks that Toyota Jazz would make a great Masterpiece? I'd rather have the Porsche, but this would be acceptable too.

A few things to note:

Just "Alert"

There's also QT09 Optimus Prime (Nissan GT-R R35) and QT10 Wheeljack (Lancia Stratos Turbo Gr.5) that are new as well.

Interestingly, the new Optimus one is based directly on his red Transformers: Alternity figure.

why did they go with an 86 toyota corolla for jazz

You know whats funny? The translation did just say Alert, but I thought it wasnt correct. Oh well.

Both Tracks and Optimus look really off, I dont like either one maybe its the photo. One the other hand
I like Megatron's sleek car and bot mode.

Courtesy of the Dengeki Hobby website, we have full colour confirmation of the Takara Tomy Q-Transformers figures we saw teasers for a while back: Q18 Nemesis Prime/Convoy, Q15 Hound, Q16 Smokescreen and Q17 Tracks! Check out the official images of these superdeformed mini G1 robits mirrored below, as we find out their release date is towards the end of March, and currently priced at 1078 Yen (approx $10 each).

This "Bluestreak" looks more like Alternator Smokescreen to me.

It is. My brain is currently frizzled.

Actually, you were right the first time. Q16 is Bluestreak and is based on BT-19 Binaltech Bluestreak. You can tell by the head which does not feature Smokey's helmet style head that wraps around the chin area.

OH fffff---

Also, a bluestreak that is actually blue! Hallelujah!

Argh! Blue Bluestreak! Heresy!

Ah, good catch. You are correct, sir.

So Alternator Smokescreen was essentially a repaint of BT Bluestreak? Was BT Bluestreak the first use of that mold?

BT-01 was Smokescreen, then Bt-03 was Streak (in 'silver'), then we went to BT-07 which again was Smokescreen and after that he became BT-19 Bluestreak. The Streaks where without the chinstraps.

Additionally, Streak/Silverstreak wasn't a repaint of Smokescreen, but a remold. Namely, the robot mode head and the car mode spoilers are different between the two.

As a companion news piece to yesterday's Amazon.co.jp Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure and Easy Dynamic post, here's another update from the online retailer, regarding three Q-Transformers figures also due out this coming April! Check out below the images, linking to the listings, for QT18 Nemesis Prime (at a discounted price), QT19 Optimus Prime and QT20 Megatron (both for the expected 1079 Yen/approx $9 US)!

Man I just love these little guys. I don't know what it is about them, but they're the things I keep looking forward to every month. I hope they continue for a while. I'd love to see them do something besides car/truck alt modes ... bring on the Seekers and Dinobots!

These little things really are great! This is how you do fun, gimmick toys. Wish they would turn up on retail shelves via Hasbro. Money is really keeping me at bay with a lot of figures right now, but I'd love at least the Rodimus for my desk!

Just noticed this available for pre-order over at TFSource:



And I am not ashamed to say that my first thought was, "Oh my God, I need this in my life!" It can hang out with my Disney Label Convoy and they can play a nice game of cat and mouse.

I like Transformers.
My wife likes Hello Kitty.

'Nuff said.

I'm buying one of these and I don't really care who cares. Hello Kitty can form the head of a combiner for maximum hilarity.

Seibertron sponsors TFsource and BigBadToyStore have listed a pile of new Transformers Q figure preorders, including Classic Transformers characters with Hello Kitty and Evangelions?! The bizarre new batch includes:
-QT23 Ultra Magnus
-QT24 Bumblebee
-QT25 Lockdown
-QT26 Laserwave/Shockwave
-QT27 Soundwave
-QT28 Cliffjumper
-QT29 Starscream
-QT30 Thundercracker
-QT31 Skywarp
-QTC01 Hello Kitty
-QTC02 Evangelion 3 Figure Set

Keep scrolling to see some shots of the little fellas, and be sure to check out TFsource and BigBadToyStore to preorder if you like what you see!

Get in the goddamn robot Shinji!

Who are those last 3? I remember Va'al's avatar looked like the first purple garbage truck figure.

Evanglelion units one, zero, and two. Though you've probably seen more pics of unit zero in blue than orange, since it gets a new paint job early in the series.

"Hello Convoy is the code name for Takara's daring, cross-gender-appeal crossover figure.

Her purpose: to siphon knee-jerk fan-rage away from Bronies."

...that's all I got. Had Joe on the brain for a week since a leak in my basement ruined several MISB sets from about 8 years back, including that Target set with the MOBAT and red HISS tank. It claimed my sealed Nightmare Moon gift set too. A mere fraction of Seib's pain from that flood, since most of my TF stuff dodged the bullet, but a sliver I share.

Back on topic, does anyone else think the shape of the lil' seekers' cockpits makes them look like they come with egg-laying action for a belated Easter assault?

That Hello Kitty QTF is adorable.

Also hilarious that it shares its mold with the EVA Units, considering how the two are virtually polar opposites (uber kid-friendly vs. uber NOT kid-friendly).

1. Hello Convoy: awesome in a twisted sort of way
2. The Crimson Hiss from that set kicks a whole lot of ass
3. I thought the seekers reminded me more of those old super deformed macross planes, but now I can't un-see the eggs

I mayyyyy have to look into getting those.

If I had a Mickeymus, I'd probably be tempted to do the same thing, but getting one now seems like it'd be... Impractical. Though unless Hello Kitty is bigger than or the same size as Mickey, this could wind up ridiculously-scaled anyhow. Like, you know, most things involving multiple Transformers toys.

Edit and forget it.

It says that it's only 2 inches, and is only $12 instead of some insane price, so methinks Hello Kitty Prime is rather small.

STILL--will have to get this. My wife is a massive HK fan.

Well, here is how big Mickey is compared to a standard height DVD case:



And grabbing the measuring tape, he comes up to about 4¾" in height. So if this is true:

Black Bumblebee wrote:It says that it's only 2 inches...

...then I guess Mickey will indeed tower over Kitty. But I am okay with this. They will still be the best of friends in my collection. And on hot days, they can even hang out with my popsicle mascot transforming vaguely Optimus-ish guy, for extra corporate mascot fun.

Man, add Pepsi Convoy into the mix... and too bad I never got Sports Label Convoy. I could have a whole bunch of fun with Mascot Primes! (What is Sports Label Convoy going for these days... Checking eBay... And... Yeah, never mind that...)

Yeah, Gari-Robo-Kun might not fit in with Mickey and Hello Kitty. He's diffferent for two reasons: He doesn't turn into a truck and he's kinda frightening.

Before or after you get the Evangelion MP 10?

Q-Transformers toys are tiny little things, and both Kitty and the EVAs are Q-Transformers toys.

The Hello Kitty transformer has arrived. There is no loving god.

Has anyone gotten their hands on Tracks yet? It seems like he got skipped/delayed. Wondering what happened to him!

Blogger Alfes2010 was busy today posting galleries, among them being Q Transformers QT-19 Optimus Prime and QT-20 Megatron! See these adorable little guys below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

More cases of Takara names in Katakana with Hasbro names in Latin script. TakaraTomy's really making this confusing for those who try to categorize their toys.

How is this any more difficult than it has always been?

Well, up until recently, Takara's toys had always had one character name on their packaging. Now, some of them have two names on them.

Take that new good guy truck QT-19 toy seen above, for instance. The Katakana says he's named "Convoy", but the Latin script says he's named "Optimus Prime". Whereas the Katakana and Latin script for the other guy, QT-20, both call him "Megatron", thereby avoiding such confusion. One toy has two consistent names, while the other has two different names.

But Convoy is Optimus Prime and vice versa. Megatron has always been called Megatron by both Hasbro and Takara. I think what you're really seeing here is how Takara's products are enjoying a life outside of Japan (and thus are being marketed as that thanks to the Internet) so they are putting the Hasbro (or English) names on the products as well as the name from their local market. I wish they would just drop Cybertrons, Destrons, Convoy, etc, but this is a good alternative to that as well (though it continues to fuel these characters having two names which I feel is really bad for marketing purposes).

Maybe it's just me, but I quite like the Japanese names like Destron and Convoy. *shrug*

The name thing doesn't bother me either, and that Prime/Convoy is the first must have I've seen from this line. Well, that and Hello Kitty.
