there's talk of the Samurai team being scout or deluxe sized...considering their price i'd hope they range deluxe to voyager sized...
Please let this be a Road Caesar or Dai Atlas/Roadfire/Sonic Bomber homage! :o
Nice. Looks like somebody at Takara has learnt to polish the proverbial.
Images of the GO! Voyager Shockwave, with the usual shiny metallic deco we've been getting a lot of from TakaraTomy lately.
Someone has come across names and dates details of more JP GO! toys, including the rest of the pre-11 figures (the first ones to be released were 11 to 18, in a weeks time).

Very brave-ish. Very Japanese(some samurai hints on the red combined form)
Really nice to see TakTom doing these "main line" figures without Hasbro's design input and having to stick to Hasbro's strict costing structure. These may turn out to be a pleasant surprise
I wasn't a fan of powerlinks in Armada or Energon.
Not superimpressed by this.
They do seem very Brave-y which I'm TOTALLY ok with. You have my attention, Takara.
Kenzan looks cool as a head, nice as a robot, good as a vehicle
Ganoh looks very nice in vehicle mode, rather plain in robot mode, nice head mode
Jinbu looks rather generic all things considered, plain vehicle, plain robot, weird head mode
can't make out the torso and leg modes too well though. concerned about Kenzan's lights hampering his transformation and posability a bit but shouldn't be too bad
they certainly don't look like they match with the prime aesthetic like I hoped they would.
combined modes look very Sentai/Brave-ish
can't wait to see better pics of them
Gaidora doesn't interest me since I already grabbed Lazerback, nice colour sheme though
if I can afford it I'll probably grab the 3 Samurai
and any other japan exclusive molds (gekisomaru, hishomaru, sensuimaru) and their smokescreen if he's coloured more like the show model
