Video Review for Takara Transformers Adventure TAV Battle Mode Jazz & Origin Mode Drift

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Big warning guys, the hand on my Supreme Bumblebee just broke, it was all clear plastic. What I think happened is the blaster from TAV-21 put a crack in it, that I couldn't see due to the paint, and putting the other weapons in the hand weakened it further. I can probably fix it but I don't have any proper glue in the house and even then, it'll never be usable again.

Had to look at mine after you said that. Mine seems good, for now

TakaraTomyMall are holding a giveaway in time for the holidays on their Transformers Adventure line, by adding a free Ratbat minicon/micron to purchases over 3000 Yen. If you're in the minicon addiction club, this probably really interests you - or is bad news. Check out the little critter below!

It has been a while since we were shown something new from Takara's TAV and TED lines, but this should make up for it. Firstly, the Snakas Blog has some new images of the previously reported Legion class figures:

TAV34 EZ collection team Bumblebee VS Megatronus




TAV35 EZ collection Autobots VS Decepticons set




We also got brand new images from TF Yuki for TED16 Big Thunderhoof (based on 3-step thunderhoof):






Lastly, Yuki also gave us a nice look at their version of Warrior Fracture, TAV36:




Are any of these worth going importing? Let us know in the discussion!

Just as I figured, hasbro's is so show accurate, TT could only make him look gorgeous

Will, I'm telling you, the differences are minimal. You can go for the Hasbro release on this one, and not regret it.

Edit: Ok upon 2nd inspection, maybe not "minimal", but I think you could save a buck (or beaver) here.
Wow, they did some justice to the minicon shoulder pads. And the stear skull on the fearing of the bike looks tuff. Reminds me of Oil Slick.

Does Hasbro's gun have red paint on it too? Its things like that which make me go nuts.

Also, while I like your beaver joke, we actually have loonies which is just as funny but true. Our dollar has a canadian goose on it (I know I know, BIG SHOCK!), and the name of that bird is also a loon, so we call it a loonie. But then we are made fun of for being Looney

This should sum it up, stay till the end: http://social.popsugar.com/Incredible-A ... KIT-763180

... and yes the Hasbro gun is nicely painted.

WOOT WOOT! thats what I wanted the most for some silly reason. Did you watch the video in the link I sent above?

Also, our coins are so darn canadian it hurts:

Hey! Looks like you've got yerself enough wildlife der ta getcha a couple a Timmy Ho's. Eh?
Video wouldn't load.

I'm really waiting to see TT's Megatronus. He's been announced, and we just haven't seen anything yet, right?

Beautiful pic!
Robot mode looks good but I am more envious of the alt mode.

Adding to this round-up post from a couple of days ago from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure lines, usual PR-tweetmaster Hisashi Yuki has shared a couple more images of the Warrior class TAV-36 Fracture in his Japanese paint-scheme, plus some additional TED-17 Bumblebee shots. Check them out below!
