The TakaraTomy website was updated earlier today to showcase Transformers Adventure (their version of the new Robots In Disguise cartoon)! There’s not a ton of new information yet in the preview page with the exception of an image of Takara’s TAV01 Bumblebee figure (Warrior Class Bumblebee).
Over on the Takara Twitter handle, it was also revealed that Ryohei Kimura will be voicing Bumblebee in Transformers Adventure.
Keep an eye on TFW2005 today as there is sure to be a lot dropping for Takara’s Transformers Adventure toy line!

Oh yay! Takara is going to air the 2015 RiD cartoon around the same time as Hasbro

Definately getting Fixit and Drift. Still a bit irked that Sideswipe doesn't have anything other than the 1 step changer (right now). I'm leaning towards getting Swoop and Knockout. I'd get Dreadwing, but those feet of his are, well

Ryohei Kimura is Bumblebee once again (he currently voices him in Q).
I'm cool with that. His performance as Kamui in Psycho-Pass 2 was pretty good all things considered.

What size is that Nemesis Prime? If it's Deluxe or better, I'm picking it up because it looks great and Hasbro Nemesis repaints are few and far between now.
Are you kidding? Hasbro's definitely been working its ass off to win that prize. RID is the name of another anime, a currently running comic book, and has been the series tagline forever. They had to work very hard to outdo "Transformers Prime," and they succeeded.

Better than reusing the name of an existing product…

Okay…so this line is going to have some seriously awesome repaints: Via Benson Yee
Dat Nemesis Prime. Really works with that mold.

It was noted in the recent Figure King magazine scans (Takara Transformers Unite Warriors UW-01 Superion Revealed – Slingshot Confirmed! – Transformers News – TFW2005) that the circular "barcode" is different to the Hasbro "barcode", and from what I can tell, it unlocks a cartoon, instead of being linked to the game app (which is for Western markets).
Now we can see just how different the "barcodes" are, with six different colours, instead of just two on the Hasbro toys.

Congratulations, Japan! You just came up with an even more stock-sounding subtitle for a Transformers series than Transformers: Robots in Disguise! Step forth to collect your prize of a thesaurus.

Why am I thinking of Sonic Adventure now?
