Japan, stop making Bumblebee look cool. You're going against the natural order of things.

He is just overused that's all.

Well, maybe I should put it this way.

This is a design that's not bad and works well for the character.

Fellow Seibertronian IJK Productions has sent us a review for TAV Transformers Adventure TAV-47 Crazybolt, which you can watch below. Interestingly enough, this version is released at retail before Hasbro's.

Hey all, I've just uploaded my video review of the Japanese version of RiD Deployer Crazybolt. Aside from me not getting the deployer gimmick to work I'm overly impressed with how great the deco looks on the Japanese one over the domestic one.

More fun on the floor of 2016 Tokyo Toy Show, this time with some display images of TakaraTomy Transformers Adventure TAV-50 Hyper Surge Optimus Prime and TAV-51 Hyper Surge Bumblebee! These two Hyper Surging fellas are slated to hit retail June and July, so check your mail boxes if you have them pre-ordered.

Didn't see this earlier, sorry for taking five days to reply! I think the little version is just as fun, since it essentially transforms the same exact way and you can move the elbows without fear. Plus it has a rockin' awesome clear T-Rex helmet that the T-Rex itself can wear.

Hmm, yeah, I think I like the smaller one over the Warrior class version. The Voyager is still the best so far though.

Thanks

And hell yeah about that Voyager version! What I find fun about the smaller version too is that I can use it with my Legion RID figures to evoke Grimlock's size compared to his team.

Fellow Seibertronians, following the reveals of Masterpiece Cheetor, Inferno, and Thrust, as well as the reveal of Lynx Master, and courtesy of Autobase-Aichi, we get an expansive look at the upcoming TAV-50 Hyper Surge Optimus Prime, TAV-51 Hyper Surge Bumblebee, and many of the upcoming Microns that were on display at the Tokyo Toy Show, along with the new sub-heading: The Prime of Micron. Also on display are TAV-44 Bumblebee and Sideswipe Supreme Armor Set, TAV-45 Optimus Prime and Grimlock Supreme Armor Set, and TAV-46 Overload. Most of these are slated to hit retail in June or July. So what do you think of these figures? Interested in any of them? Make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments below.

I got some goodies sitting in my private warehouse at HLJ. TAV Megatronus and Fracture were pivcked up during the summer sale. I wanted to get Quillfire but when I put my order in he was gone. I also preordered the Strongarm that comes with the minicon. I was all for the Hasbro one but Takara's deco is better. I'm hoping to ship those when Strongarm is in stock but ya know how things are. 8-}

Likely case fresh (as he's just been released) we have some in-hand pics of TakaraTomy Transformers Adventure TAV-50 Hypersurge Optimus Prime! Courtesy of Alfes2010 and tagoal we have some great shots of him in both modes and in comparison to TAV-33 Optimus Prime Supreme Mode.

Despite the awesomeness of the robot mode...Primus, that 'truck' is awful. :SICK:

He's the new Cybertron Metroplex.

He's an amazing homage and an incredible robot mode, but the designers about 4/5 through development remembered "Oh shit, this guy's supposed to be a Transformer", and hastily folded him up into nothing and pretended it's a vehicle mode.

Gotta agree. His bot mode is bloody fantastic (though not a fan of face plate-less head) but that vehicle mode is a stretch...and I don't mean because of the length.

Looks like one of the non-transforming 3rd Party Transformers. It is beautifully well detailed.

Yeah, that altmode is a letdown, but at the very least, I kinda feel like the more uniform Takara deco makes the altmode look slightly less offensive than it looks with the Hasbro deco's use of a rather unappealing shade of white/gray.

The former. This figure comes with its own Prime Decepticon Hunter that's of a different mold than the one included with OP Supreme Mode. And the last pic has simply it holding the Supreme Mode one.

It's rotated differently from the other pics in relation to the blade. Also I thought the hilt was gray and chrome while this one looks black

Oh snap, wait, now I see what you see. In the last pic, right? It does look like the Supreme Mode one is plugged into the hilt of the Hyper Surge one. That's awesome.
