Thanks to Type-R of 2005 Boards, we’ve got some new images of TakaraTomy Transformers: Animated Toys.
Hong Kong based toy forum “Toy-Kingdom” has uploaded images of upcoming TakaraTomy Transformers: Animated figures, showing-off their new partially chromed paint scheme.

seeing all this is getting me back into the animated line! lol
i just picked up my TRU exclusive arcee, and im crazy excited for hotrod and ironhide! im trying to get at least one figure from the japanese figures, probably one of the never released molds, such as blackout or something.
BB Shockwave
Haven't seen any photos of him yet… Any chrome on him too?
I wouldn't be surprised if they did Ramjet somewhere down the line. Of course, he can be easily repainted from any Sunstorm toy (red cockpit windows).

Wheres Cybertron Ironhide?

Just want that Animated Rodimus..
Type-R
Umm… but Skywarp is being released first. In fact, Skywarp (TA-23) will be out in Japan on Jun 19.
BB Shockwave
Weird that they are releasing Sunstorm before Skywarp, though. I guess they couldn't do black chrome, yes?
Digilaut
I definitely need me a voyager Ramjet. He's my favorite clone, colorwise.

My preorders are ridiculous right now because I dont see Hasbro releasing some of these guys state side at all. I'll keep importing them as long as they keep coming out over there. And since Takara's repainting most of these guys any way, why not Ramjet? And oh yeah, whatever happened to THUNDERCRACKER!!
BB Shockwave
That's good news. Any word on the release of Blackout?
SPLIT LIP
Dude, that's just the Hasbro stock photo. Not an actual picture of the toy.
last Q/A I believe, but it was deffinately stated.
BB Shockwave
When did Hasbro say that? I only remember them saying Mudbuster Bulkhead and TC will be released then. This is good news, though it worries me that we haven't even seen any prototypes or leaked pics of Ironhide.
Type-R
It's a re-used Hasbro stock photo.
TakaraTomy's version of Samurai Prowl does however, have a higher MSRP than a regular deluxe, so it's somewhat possible they might be including the ninja stars or even a split sidecar wheel/shield.

Agree, I don't think we have anything definitive enough here for me to cancel my pre-order. If it isn't clear, I just hope that there are still Wingblade Primes left to preorder, cause it was almost a toss up between those two sets for me….Clear figures won out.
Dreweido
Seems like just speculation that Rodimus won't be clear. The standard pics they are using don't seem to indicate that either is or isn't.

I gotta have that Takara Elite Guard BB!

Since no one seems to have notice Samurai Prowl has the wheels/shields on both arms. Not bad but not worth import prices for me. Of course that is if the final version has both or this is just a photoshop of the old prototype images.
I hope by Botcon we have word on if we can expect Wingblade Prime, Blackout, and Hydrodive Bumblebee stateside. If not I may have to break down and actually have to import them instead. Until then I may have to cut back on some Movie figures and skip Powercore Combiners completely.
RedAlert Rescue
Some of them look really good with the chrome such as Sentinel Prime and Swindle and Jazz.
I need to see larger pictures – but in general there's some stuff I like there but I'll probably ignore most of it and buy it in the sales as it is broadly similar to the existing ones and just pick the new molds out like Rodimus.
all are dead
remember Rodimus and Ironhide will be relased through toys r us this fall.
Feralstorm
Shiny leader Megs is pretty tempting. All the others (which aren't in the "Hasbro might never release" category) are either not different enough to be give two thoughts to, or hampered by their changes. – IMO anyway.

Damn I look beautiful.
No it's not narcissism, it's the truth.
