Official Images - Takara Tomy Q Transformers August Releases: Soundwave, Shockwave, Cliffjumper

Interesting that the G1-based QT26 bucks tradition by being named "Shockwave" instead of "Laserwave".

Some more bites of news from Wonderfest 2015, this time via the official Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter account and user tomet_s, featuring the Q Transformers line as they venture back into Neon Genesis Evangelion territory (as the franchise has done before with MP-10). The itty bitty Eva Units 00, 01 and 02 share the same mold as the Hello Kitty crossover, and sport their traditional anime schemes - check them out below!

In amidst all the other Takara Tomy Transformers reveals, some smaller, superdeformed and definitely adorable additions to the Q Transformers line were also shown off this past day - check out below the latest QT lil ones (via site sponsor TFSource), featuring the Awakening version of Unit 01, QTF07 Ironhide, QTF08 Jetfire and the first set of three Decepticons QTFS02 with Megatron, Shockwave and Soundwave! Plus, we get three plushie versions of Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Lockdown from the animated web series, courtesy of Yawaraka.

But they are, check these:

well, it is the only rid size class with more than one decepticon in it.

In the west. Japan created other decepticons using repaints of the existing molds in the warrior class.

But yeah, I totally get what you are saying and its why I posted the pics above. You can actually get yourself quite the RID cast collection focusing just on that legion class. Hasbro has put a ton of love in it for some reason.

It seems like the Q-Transformers line is going to give us all the main G1 characters including the best Dinobot of all: Grimlock! Like Soundwave and Shockwave, his alt mode has been relegated to a car. Ratchet has also been revealed, which we all expected to see sooner rather than later once the Ironhide figure was revealed. These images were found on Robot Kingdom, thanks to fellow Seibertronian Decepticon Sunstorm, and the listings indicate a March 2016 release. Believe it or not, these Q-Transformers are actually the site owner's favourite figures at the moment. Check out some of the galleries if you think of getting into these cute little figures!

Alternators/Binaltech Grimlock homage! Awesome!

But even more awesome: MARVEL COMICS RATCHET!!!

Fellow Seibertronian and regular Twincaster xRotorstormx has spotted an announcement via the official Takara Transformers account on Twitter, pertaining to the release of the first Arcee figure in their Q-Transformers line. We had seen glimpses of this previously, but it appears that a January episode of the animated series will introduce the character - released at the end of January with what sounds like a massive launch party - and a new Beast Wars geared festival in 2016! If your Japanese skills are up to scratch, head here for more information!

Beats Wars? Is that a toyline about everyone turning into music devices like Blaster and Soundwave? That sounds pretty cool, might have to check it out!

Oh no, I'm not getting sucked into another Chibi style line. I already have a ton of Kre-O's and Bot Shots.

It always starts out with "Oh it's cute and cheap. I can buy one." Next thing you know, I've spent a whole paycheck on them.
