their target audience is me. I'm putting them on my desk.

Japanese consumers love tiny cute things.

When Bot Shots were sold over in Japan as the BeCool line, the game aspect we had in the West was excised over there, and the marketing gimmick that they used instead was just the small, simple, cutesyness of the toys alone, and it worked enough for them to even get versions of the toys that we never got.

It's just a different market with a different mindset.


And as an aside, the show's hilarious (though it would probably be moreso if it were subbed in English, since I can only get a basic understanding of what they're saying in Japanese).

I love the heads on these things, anyone know if the heads would look out of place on say a generations figure? I cant find a pic for scale reference

We have some more Seibertron.com exclusive toy galleries, featuring some more superdeformed Takara Tomy Q Transformers! Feast your eyes below on the leaders of the Autobot and Decepticon factions from wave 5 - the same as Nemesis Prime here: QT-19 Optimus Prime (Convoy), in his G1 flatnosed truck cab, and QT-20 Megatron, sporting a Lamborghini Veneno altmode. Click on any image below to view the full galleries!


Q-Transformers Convoy








Q-Transformers Megatron

They are fun little figures, but expensive for what they are. There are already recolours, so I suspect that TT will milk them dry. The G1 Prime has already been scalped at a Toys R us near me (notably as every single other figure was still there, in large amounts), so I suspect they have all gone to either Hong Kong scalpers, or domestic ones via Yahoo Japan auctions.

Yeah, I've been picking up most of these... and love them. Being imports... and great G1 homages (for most of them)... I think they're definitely worth the value. They're simple enough to be fun... remind me of the original G1 minibots. Excellent for the desk at your work... assuming you all have desk jobs.

Usually, my desk is a dashboard.

Dashboards are the coolest office furniture.

Running a close second; seat belts!

Gotta your clients to sit still somehow.

I love these little Q-Transformers. I'd like to see as many of the original Mini-Bots done as Q-Transformers. Looking forward to seeing the concept expand to the Seekers. I'm glad they're not trying to pull the Alternity Seekers route by making them into cars.

I saw the Seekers on BBTS. They look like the sort of thing that should have pull back and go action.

I don't know anything about the Q-Transformers. Is that a different story line or just a fun little toy? Does Q stand for cute?
