:eek: Did TakaraTomy just piss all over Hasbro's webpage or what? Man that's some cool looking transformations too as opposed to Hasbro's more stunted stuff.

Are you comparing against this (http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/universe/default.cfm?page=Entertainment/Arena)? Hasbro's transformations are superior.

And that's their only Gimme. ;)

That is the best one.

Takara(TOMY) have been making pages like this for their mainstream toys since Micron Legend (2003). Meh... it's not as they're competing with one another (as I mentioned in another thread, that's actually expressly forbidden).

for anyone who can read that site, does is say anywhere on that about the profile pages of newer henkei stuff coming soon? the two sites are good for comparing each versions of toys...

I am more interested in release dates. The Online stores seem to be all over the place when it comes to release dates.

HLJ yesterday had most of the the Henkei 2.0 figures as a September release now they are October while BBTS has it for December and another for January.

It would be good to get the actual release date from the source.

what is that two lines of text next to the image of henkei prowl?

Online Japanese retailers are much better at displaying the release date of upcoming toys - grabbed these just from Amazon JP:

September 19
(that was the date, but now it's listing them as in stock!)
Prowl
Sunstreaker
(Encore Metroplex too!)

October 2
Powerglide
Silverbolt
Onslaught

October 24
Sideswipe
Streak
Octane

November 21
Galvatron
Ironhide

Did i miss any?

The release dates differ between figures so you need to click on each individual page to access them. e.g.: Skyfire's page says "mid-July" whereas Prowl and Sunstreaker's pages list them as "late September."

Are you talking about the main page or the Prowl page?

The text that appears on the far right hand side of Prowl's close-up shot on the main page says "All released Transformers. How many do you have?"
The text that's "cutting into" Prowl's animated transforming image says:
"Autobot Strategist C-08 PROWL"
"On sale late September. RRP 2310JPY (GST)"
Then there's the profile, tech specs etc.
