Did you wake up this morning and think "You know, it's been a long time since Takara revealed some really strange redecos. I wonder what I can do to get my fix of those?" Well, if you did, then you're going to enjoy this news!
Seibertron user Autobot Genocide has sent us a heads up regarding new images found on the Kapow Toys Facebook Page of seven upcoming figures to be released, we think, in the Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure line, which appears to be their analog, at least sort of, to the 2015 Robots in Disguise line from Hasbro. We've mirrored the images below.
A redeco of Animated Swoop in a style slightly reminiscent of the G1 toy? You'll have to tell us what you think of this one by replying to this post!
The Beast Hunters Knock Out mold looking a little bit like Bluestreak, but still with a Decepticon logo.
A more show-accurate version of Beast Hunters Ultra Magnus featuring a nice looking Forge of Solus Prime accessory.
Robots in Disguise's upcoming Warrior Class Optimus Prime in a slick black color scheme.
A redeco of Beast Hunters Dreadwing in a more subdued color scheme as compared to the Hasbro release.
Generations Scoop looks to be coming in a style to help him fit right in with the Constructicons. Or maybe this could be your Neo-Armada Scavenger?
Finally, the Robots in Disguise Strongarm mold looks to be getting used as a new Decepticon that's one part Movieverse Ratchet, and a little bit like the Movie redeco of Energon Strongarm.
Not much is known about these figures other than what's in these images, including potential names, release dates, and pricing, but as soon as we have more information, it'll be posted here at Seibertron.com.

As for the other strange redecos, I have guesses, but not ones that make much sense. However, that Strongarm redeco could be the "R Strongarm" that was listed before.
Posted by Sabrblade on January 23rd, 2015 @ 9:17am CST
Those are Nemesis Prime and Roadblock. Roadblock I'm guessing is meant to be or meant to homage the G2 Auto Roller of the same name.ScottyP wrote:

That R Strongarm seems to be a Decepticon would explain the initially weird Grimlock vs. R Strongarm set. 
Swoops's colors look familiar, hang on... *looks though TFU.info* O good grief, is he supposed to be Laserbeak?
Swoop and Knock-Out are must-buys (I want more redecoed Hunters!), Roadblock is maybe, I wanna see how they deal with Holepunch and CaliburstTracer.

For Knock Out, though he looks like Bluestreak in altmode, his robot mode deco reminds me of Crosscut. More nonsense.
And R Strongarm's deco looks to me like, get ready for it, TransTech Megatron!
Or Brawn. Or Roadbuster. Or Movie 1 Srongarm.

First things that came to my mind with that deco were Flamewar and Windblade, which (as I said) make no sense.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Swoops's colors look familiar, hang on... *looks though TFU.info* O good grief, is he supposed to be Laserbeak?

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.

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

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

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. 
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.

Roadblock only comes with one Targetmaster

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

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

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.

All I hear when people talk about Warrior Class, Super-Con Class, Combat Class, Scout Class, Legion Class...
All I hear is my head is Basic, Deluxe, Mega, Ultra, Super. (and oh yeah, Titan!)

I know, it can get really confusing with all these names, huh?

I think I just found the source of inspiration for Junkion's deco:
"Eco Wreck-Gar" from the Transformers Cards card series used in Sega's Transformers Animated: The Chase and Transformers Animated: The Shooting games.

with these preliminary pics, is it too soon to tell the differences in paint apps between has'n'tak?

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.

Definitely liking the look of a lot of these, especially those Dinobots, but I just can't bring myself to start buying things again just because I like the way they look.
I need self control dammit!!

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!

Looks like those low prices on BBTS were a mistae since now all the deluxes are at 25$. Did anyone get a chance to preorder them for 16.99$?

That it's in Ultra Magnus-esque colors. He was hoping for a Junkion toy to be in Junkion colors (brown, orange, tan, red, yellow, gray, etc.).william-james88 wrote:gothsaurus wrote:Aw. Bummer with the Ultra Magnus deco. I'm pretty much a shoe-in to buy a Junkion in standard Junkion colors.

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.
