Just like that, more images surface of toys from the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, this time coming from the Toy Dojo Facebook Page. These images include a look at Takara's versions of many of the Robots in Disguise Warrior Class figures, as well as a mostly purple redeco of Animated Snarl.

There are also some shadowy images that suggest versions of Animated Lockdown, Generations Skrapnel, Combiner Wars Bombshell, and Robots in Disguise Drift are on the way as well.

We've mirrored the images below.

Information seems to be coming in fast and furious, so keep it right here at Seibertron.com for all the latest news.

Kickback is the grasshopper, you probably mean Skrapnel.

Snarl's colors ring a bell somewhere... Then again,. I may be seeing things, as the dinos seem to follow "main color is black, secondary depends on dino" rule (Green for Grimlock, Red for Swoop, Purple for Snarl).

And I called Animated Lockdown and Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus :DANCE:

So I'm a bit out of the loop is this line where takara will be releasing the RiD stuff (as how they used Go! For beast hunters)? Plus will they be putting together any fiction for this? As for the figures I'm digging the swoop and snarl redecos, I'm quite partial to those molds, same with lock down. ..whenever they reveals what the scheme is

This is the Japanese RID line, yes, but with additional molds from Animated, Beast Hunters (those that weren't part of the Go! line, it seems), and Generations.

The RID cartoon will be airing in Japan under the new name of "Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Adventure". It is unknown how the dub will handle the show's relation to TF: Prime since Japan never got the third season of Prime (it got Go!'s cartoon instead).

Yup, this is TakaraTomy's counterpart of RID 2015, though right now it looks more like a waste-bin line:

- Generations Scoop, Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus, Dreadwing and Knock Out were never released in Japan before.
- Animated Swoop and Snarl are probably put in to compliment Grimlock
- The Combiner Wars Legends are probably considered too small to be released stand-alone in Transformers Legends. Had a Kickback been in the works, that would have a different story for Bombshell and Shrapnel.

DRAT! Missed opportunity for a gray Grimlock.

But wow, what an odd mix of lines. Looks like there was a traffic jam on Cybertron, and they just took whomever was on the off-ramp and made a toy line. Ha ha ha.

Some of these decos DO look considerably better... CrocOut sure got a classy re-deco. Any green construction vehicle is a must-buy, too.

As for the RID tv show figures, it doesn't seem like the molds are nice enough to warrant importing a snazzier Takara paint app.

Honestly, these don't look to shabby, I always liked the TFA Swoop mold, so if this doesn't sell much I'll be grabbing him. I'd also grab the Lockdown, I need one that isn't a midget. :BANG_HEAD:

And that Scourge deco Prime looks amazing.

I've been holding out on getting the Hasbro RID toys to wait and see what Takara's Adventure ones would look like, but since they aren't that significantly different (Bee's got orange headlights, a darker yellow,and more black-painted stripes on the side of his car mode, but that's it), I guess I'm good to go for Hasbro's.

EDIT: On second glance, I might have to go for Takara's Strongarm. That striped chest deco is better Hasbro's solid blue.

Ooooh, colorful Animated Dinobots look nice! Especially loving the gradient on Snarl's dino crest.
... but no weapons?

Kinda odd pairing Animated molds with RiD ones, if mostly because I love Animated's character designs while I find RiD's to be terribly dull, so it's like it shouldn't work but it sorta does.

Knock Out makes me think of Movie Sideways more than any of the mentioned Autobots.

If he had a black head, I'd agree. But the red head and red highlights on a mostly silver body made me think of Crosscut.

More and better pics from TakaraTomy Mall - http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/c/cTFad/

Strongarm redeco is "Greejeeber" (named after RID 2001 Rollbar's Japanese Car Robots name)

Knock Out redeco is "Bloody Knock Out" (seriously!)

AOE Power Battlers Junkheap redeco is "Junkion" (but colored like Ultra Magnus for some reason)

Roadblock only comes with one Targetmaster

There has been a lot of reveals today regarding the Takara Transformers Adventure Line with two news posts filled with new photos. Well why not make it a hat trick.

While now both BBTS and Takaratomymall now have preorder listings, these listings also come with new photos not seen yet.

The new pictures include the following:

TED03 (one step) Sideswipe
TED01 (Hyperchange) Bumblebee
TED02 (Hyperchange) Grimlock
TED05 Junkheap
And a target master that comes with TAV07 Load Block (generations Scoop)

I was pretty certain of that, I just meant it more to say that its not all that fair since it was a deluxe.

Knock Out redeco is "Bloody Knock Out" (seriously!)

He wasn't much of a "Medic" in Prime, was he?

This is a shining example of TakaraTomy needing a prefix for trademarking for once. :lol:

Battle Blade Bumblebee suffers the same fate for Movie Advanced, so it has happened before.

No, its comparable to Deluxe. Warrior class in this toyline is all comparable to the deluxe class. He will be as tall as warrior (deluxe) bumblebee.

reminds me of the original RiD line, it had new molds along with molds from previous series. But im shocked that takaras RiD figure look like hasbros, normally theres a pretty big difference but with these its minimal. The repaints look great but the RiDs look cheap. On another note Wonder what lockdown will look like, probably AoE colors.

Good lord, they look just about anywhere for inspiration nowadays.

And no, that deco was only used in the game, it was never produced as a toy in case you were wondering.

Garbage trucks actually do tend to be blue in Japan. The Junkion and that Wreck-Gar both share the same source, but probably aren't directly inspired by one another.

I know it may sound odd to the youngsters, but the TF Adventures/RID Nemesis Prime seemed vaguely familiar to me, like some old toy or something from an old TV show. Then it hit me, it reminds me of the FLAG Command Trailer that KITT used to ride in, in the 80's show Knight Rider! From the looks of Nemesis Prime, it would have made an awesome Autobot!

Some have expressed surprise at seeing figures from TFA as part of this line. I'm not surprised at all. TFA was awesome, and had some great figures. They brought a renewed synergy between animation model design and actual figure design. And, they were FUN.

Good to see some of them back!

Maybe being completely reassembled has... side effects...

I'd really like a Detritus (name spelling?) out of this mold. Has a snowball's chance of happening, but hey, non-standard Junkion, still a reasonable alt mode for a Junkion.

But maybe it is Ultra Magnus - you know from that alternate ending to the original Transformers Movie where Magnus is definitely and completely killed by Galvatron, and rather than reassemble him in a nonsensical sleight of hand, the Junkions just piece-meal his body back into a macabre suit of powered armor for Wreck-Gar to wear.

Hey, Minimus Ambus sort of looks like Wreck-Gar, doesn't he... :-?

Oh my gosh what if Dominus Ambus **is** Wreck-Gar, and now because of the time-stream change, instead of being a robot that talks like a TV, he's a TV that talks like a robot!!!
