In the ongoing tale of Takara releasing simplified Transformers well after Transformers: The Last Knight has rolled through theaters and DVD stands alike, we have 3 new listings and sets of images for you to check out in the form of 1-step Turbo Changers Drift, Hot Rod, and Slug!

These 3 figures were all released in the United States during The Last Knight toyline, and are now getting released by Takara. Hot Rod was only available in a 2-pack with Bumblebee, while Slug and Drift were available on their own. In a very strange twist, Slug and Drift come in the decos they sported in Age of Extinction, rather than the new paint schemes they used in The Last Knight. Why this decision was made, we do not know. All 3 figures are available via Amazon Japan, and you can go check out each listing by following the links above or by clicking any of their images below.

So TC-10 Autobot Hot Rod (Tongue-twister right there), TC-11 Autobot Drift, and TC-12 Dinobot Slug, released on July 21st. Of note that this is the first time Slug is available separately in Japan, as in the Lost Age he was part of a 4-pack with Silver Knight Optimus Prime, Helicopter Drift and Galvatron. Also, Drift uses the AoE mold instead of the TLK one which was released already.

Getting Hot-Rod this way is probably easier and cheaper than in the US.

The Netherlands still had plenty of the 2-pack last I was there.

Probably cheaper to buy from there than a US based seller too.

*BUMP*

I was just comparing TLK Legion Hot Rod with the Autobots United 2-pack redeco, and I suspect and it's actually a repaint instead of a true redeco because the plastic colors are the same: just the paint is different. Can anyone double check?

... and I just now realsised this is the TakaraTomy thread. D'Oh! #-o
