Alfes2010 has posted some in-hand images of Guren Dragotron and Hunter Arcee from the Transformers Go! line, who have just been released in Japan. These are the Japanese market releases of the Ultimate Beast Fire Predaking and Beast Hunters Arcee, respectively, and both feature new and modified decos – check out the images to see some comparison images of both the US and the Japanese releases to see just how much they were changed.

Hunter Arcee doesn't look much better than the Hasbro version IMHO

Not particularly Interested in the "Go!" line in general, although Dragotron does look relatively impressive all things considered

Those are some good Predaking poses.

Because this happens all the time.

I think the best way is with the veins underneath (or backwards to the way the Western Predaking is packed in the box).
For two reasons that way is more show accurate – it's also how real life bats wings are actually shaped and structured – and Western style Dragons wings are rather bat like.
I think they fold better if reverse too.
I hope he ends up quite cheap like the Japanese Weaponizer Prime did. I don't really want to pay a small fortune to import one – but I would quite like one regardless. The colours are nice and he's a nice counter point to the Go Combiners due to his general scale.
I would kind of like to see the Voyager one decorated like this too – perhaps as a TRU or toyshow exclusive or part of a GDO like line in China. and perhaps even the reverse and see the big one in Cryofire blue as well.

Do not let Hasbro marketing team see this!!
Otherwise, they will make a rainbow edition.
Yellow: Thunder Dragon
Green: Toxic Dragon
Blue/light Blue: Already have repaint
Red: Dragotron
I think we will see the Grey version for Zombie Dragon.

I'm just wondering. Has anyone else had trouble finding Beast Hunters Arcee in the US? I haven't seen it anywhere.

Am I the only one who puts on Predaking's/Dragotron's wings backwards (as compared to those photos)?
They have much more articulation that way….

i dont liked how arcee's face looked, but properly painted, well, that is another story, she looks beautiful, still, think i will get the hasbro version since the takara one is not exactly cheap -_-

I love the way that Hunter Arcee can hold her crossbow.
OmarJT82
Is it me, or am I getting a Beast Wars Transmetal 2 Megatron vibe from Dragotron?

I don't really mind the Hasbro version. It's a nice combination of the old G1 colors merged with the Prime colors. Yeah, it could have been done better, and the Go version does look superior, but for what it is, considering what they were going for with the color themes of the Hasbro Beast Hunters guys, I think it's fine.
That said, I really do like that shade of red on Dragotron there.
Brave Magnus
Gosh, the Hasbro version sucks. The GO! version is so much better! Already ordering one!
Raiju
Predaking looks good in red. TT BH Arcee looks great in her show accurate colors too, and the BH aesthetic isn't nearly as distracting on her as the other molds.
Nordh
Yeah the other one is Hasbro. What were they thinking…
Flexx Ark
Arcee looks great! I'm sold now. Is the other Arcee the Hasbro version?
Does anyone have in hand images of EG Soundwave?
jbz
I like that Dragotron. His bot head could use a tad more detailing or something, but it looks good. How much is this?
