I would never have seen those coming. Or a return to the Alternity line. (but after Encore restarting, who knows what other JP lines will be resurrected)
Also interesting to see is a black MP Rodimus, a Christmas deco Mickey TF, and a black Jetwing Optimus... as well as release dates and prices for the three Encore toys revealed earlier this week.
That's a lot of stuff planned for the Movie season - a time when all other things would be expected to be on hold until later.
Great news!
I love the Prime GTR mold, hopefully Dai Atlas turns out nice. He is one character who needs a revisit. I wonder what colour for the car mode though? Blue?
Also Goldbug and Galvatron sound promising.
I still do not like the Orochi - an ugly car. Why oh why di TT have to use this car for such key characters as the Seekers (and Banzaitron :(:confused:).
yeah after reading it, i'm going to get the black versions of jetwing prime and sideswipe.
Dai-Atlas and Galvatron? NICE
I'm not really thrilled about any of those redecos, but I will probably get them anyway. :rolleyes:
Need pics but an Alternity Banzaitron certainly grabs my interest.
Originally Alternity was using official car colours, but for a few of those i can't imagine that being the case now!
Hope you're right griffin, i wouldn't mind seeing a return of the Hybrid Style line.... DOTM Optimus please TakaraTomy! :DQuote:

I'm more interested to see if there are any mould changes to these things. A straight repaint I'm unlikey to buy though.
I'll probably cave and buy Galvatron and Banzaitron.
I wonder if the head will be the extent of the remold? I would love to see a bodykit on the 370z like they did for Shockwave/Mazdaspeed RX-8 in the BT line.
Nismo 370Z anyone?

Soundwave?... :o
Awesome. Repaints I can't wait to buy.
Holy crap...if they released the 370 or GT-R with bodykits i'd have to be all over them, no doubt!Quote:

Interesting to see how they do these, but all these toy lines restarting is going to get rather expensive ..
Same. Hopefully, it's at least new heads.Quote:

They've been pretty good about swapping heads on this line generally, specifically BB & CJ, and then the seekers.
The first pair have been revealed on an asian dealer site - Dai Atlas & Goldbug.
No new heads or parts unfortunately. Colours look a little dodgy to me, kinda like a paintshop or custom job.
Those look hideous. :(
Since I'm living in Osaka anyway Goldbug's bought - once he's shelfwarmed for a whle and come down in price a little. Pity about no head remold images though.:(
Takara pulls a circa 2009 Hasbro :(
Definitely a pass on those two for me. Lets hope Galvatron is better.....
So what's happened to Galvatron and Banzaitron?
Looks like both were supposed to come out before Goldbug, so could be cancelled... but since the listing also said that the two Encore toys that came out last week were meant to be July/Aug last year, they could also be delayed.
We could do with more variety right now, while we try to shake off the whole movie theme of things.
