That's a lot of Strongarm right there. Looks awesome too, makes me wish the takara version wasn't so expensive.

I jest, but in all sincerity, Star Saber is an awesome figure. He should be proud of it. I just think he might be a tad overboard with the (self)promotion. >:oP

I am still really curious as to the other decos that have yet to be revealed. Like Drift, the insecticons, lockdown and the mysterious steeljaw redeco that comes in a two pack with strongarm. Dont know what's taking so long to show them, they are due out in june (3 months).

Kinda reminds me of the scene in Death Note when the red sports car gets cornered by the cops.

For some reason every time I look at this, those awkward screencaps from way back when flash in my mind.

TFyuki's never ending Twitter feed brings us some more Transformers Adventure figures. For today's sampling we get to see TAV-02 Grimlock and TAV-05 Fixit, but MP-24 Starsaber was strangely absent. Don't be confused by Takara Tomy's TAV designation for Fixit though. Hasbro's Fixit is actually from the 1-Step line while Grimlock is a Warrior Class figure. Keep scrolling to see the images, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

The differences for Strongarm were very apparent but I dont see any for Grimlock.

I actually feel that Hasbro's Fixit has the more show-accurate colors. Deeper orange and light gray, instead of the lighter orange and dark gray seen here.

Yeah, Grimlock's differences are extremely minor. His dino mode eyebrows and toes are painted black like in the cartoon, whereas the Hasbro toy left both unpainted.

Ugh. The Takara versions give you nothing over the Hasbro ones, especially on Fixit. I think Fixit looks better with silver, instead of black, plastic. Grimlock...maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing a single change at first glance...

It's actually worth it to save the money and just buy domestic, here in the States. =\

One thing you might not have noticed, if you will look at the beast mode feet, the toe nails are painted black on the takara while left unpainted on the hasbro one. If you did notice, then sorry.

The key difference between the Hasbro and TakaraTomy versions lies in the symbols used for the Apps: Hasbro's use only two colors, while TakaraTomy's have a few more. The Grimlocks shown are both TakaraTomy: you just can't see the black dino toes because they aim backwards in robot mode (the lower arms turn 180).
