Takara Tomy Transformers TAV Shining Lancelon Exclusive on Pre-Order at BBTS.com

Posted by Va'al Nov 23, 2016 at 12:42pm CST 18,183 views
We covered the Japanese Toys'R'Us Exclusive Shining Lancelon, a Micron from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, here - but thanks to Seibertronian podcaster ScottyP we now also have confirmation that the exclusive will be carried by site sponsor Big Bad Toy Store! The orders should be fulfilled in January 2017, and below we have some reasons why this particular listing might interest those of you into Microns, mini-cons or the RID/TAV lines, from ScottyP directly:

These have not shown up on eBay, to my knowledge. I check daily.
Recent campaign Arms Microns have been difficult to find outside of these orders.
Said recent items sold out very quickly through BBTS (Ink, Sting, Burn, Rain)
It is a special version of an in-show character.
Lancelon has awesome knight armor. Do you? Nope.

Silently canceled? Interestingly, at the verge of Combiner Force.

And it isn't the first time in this series. Remember when they stopped doing Prime and cannibalized most of the Beast Hunters line for Transformers Go? I'm not saying we'll see Combiner Force stuff showing up under a new name, but cutting a show and line short is becoming a trend with them.

Takara has a history of pausing lines to focus on the movie line. I'm not saying Adventure is coming back, but I won't believe it's dead until they start doing toys for the next cartoon.

Yeah, we need to wait until TLK's done for Japan before seeing if Takara will bring back Adventure. After Prime of Micron ended, they still haven't gotten Season 3 yet.

What if Combiner Force gets rolled into Takara's version of POTP?

You mean putting those toys in the Legends line? That sounds very unlikely, especially if they were to resume airing the show in Japan.

That's my made up Japanese name for the Ultra Bee combiner if it's released in their power of the primes line.

Why wouldn't they just keep the Hasbro name like they've done for practically every Adventure toy character with a Hasbro counterpart?

Courtesy of Allspark.com user Creedence, here are scans of the Adventure manga story that was published by Hero-X in the Transformers Generations 2015 book (translation of the story's title still pending as of this typing).

It features appearances of many toy-only characters from the Adventure toyline (including the ones exclusive to Hero-X) who did not appear in the RID 2015 cartoon (but which does include a couple of characters from the previous Prime cartoon).

Expect an English summary of this manga's events from TFWiki in the near future.

Sabreblade has informed us of new scans showing the Transformers Adventure comic that came in the Hero-X Transformers Generations book. Transformers Adventure was the Japanese version of the latest Robots in Disguise line and included characters we didn't get in the western version of the line Runamuck, Runabout, Lockdown, Overdrive, Black Convoy and many others.

Seeing these manga scans has me wondering: who here collected stuff from the Adventure line, and which molds would they recommend? I kind of dig some of the repaints and was wondering which ones people preferred. Already have Lockdown, so who do you think would look good alongside him?

For Lockdown, the two Insecticons were advertised as his personal army of minions, and they're both redecos/retools of decent Generations molds, so they're good to go with Adventure Lockdown.

Was there an Adventure Stepper? Cause this story has one and the RiD Jazz mold looks good as Stepper
