    New Takara Transformers Adventures (TF: RID)

    New Transformers at BigBadToyStore

    It's amazing how the dark color schemes make the TF Animated Figures ... not look like Animated figure but more in line with RID.

    Annnnnd Nemesis Prime and TF Prime in G2 Dreadwing colors. Niccccccccccce!

    Swoop is looking a bit more Robin-y than pterodactyly lately :lol

    The Animated Swoop and Slag redecos look really good... and they make me particularly bummed that Goldfire Grimlock never got released. The two smaller dinobots have alternate versions now, but not their boss. I hope that at some point in the future we get a Voyager Animated Grimlock redeco to go with them. He'd look pretty nice in a green-and-black RID or bronze Movie color scheme!

    Given the choice, I'd rather Animated Grimlock was painted green and black instead of his boring movie toy color scheme.

    The original RID line had plenty of toys that were from vastly different lines along with some new molds so I'm not seeing what the TF Adventure line Takara's doing is any more worse then that. I mean so what if the Scoop mold has a different repaint? It's likely that Japanese fans are more aware with the Roadblock character then with Scoop. Also while most of the toys in the RID15 line are flawed I'm not sure I'd go as far as to say they're as bad as the Armada line. At least the RID15 toys aren't crippled with gimmicks that interfered too much with the actual toy like the majority of the Armada line.

    Yeah, I think the Animated mold would look great in green and black. And actually it would work pretty well given the cartoony look and proportions of RID Grimlock; he's really not too far off from the Animated look to begin with.

    Damn TTomy, why can't you release TAV-14 UM earlier when TF Prime debut. I just could not resist the TTomy UM cartoon accurate colors and decals compare to the Hasbro BH UM, agrr..... I may end up getting this TTomy version after all.

    Oh man, I totally missed this news article. I only found these when I went browsing at BBTS. These are some nice paint schemes. And the prices are very reasonable by Takara standards. You can be sure Australian stores won't release the Hasbro toys for that cheap. I'm definitely considering these.

    I may have missed this in the thread, but I noticed that the Knock Out repaint says "Buradino-out" on TFSource. I figured that's a katakana/romaji name, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it's supposed to transliterate to. "Blading-Out"? "Bradin-Out"?

    Anyone got an idea?

    Also any clues on what "Wolf"'s color scheme is, in the Strongarm vs. Wolf pack?

    Grabbed Junkion and Rollbar from amiami earlier today. Now have those two, the Dinobots, and Nemesis preordered. Constructicon Scoop seemed to be OOS on amiami, and I didn't see a Lockdown listing. I'll probably get those and be done with this wave. When I first heard about these, I figured I'd just get the Dinobots and be done. Boy was a wrong. I'm way too much of a sucker for faction-swapped repaints, especially evil ones.

    I just don’t understand why that Prime cab is so severely slanted...

    Curious about the Insecticons since these aren't apart of the Legends line? I wonder what deco they will have?
