Oh, I'm right there with you. This is straight-up garbage (just remember, all that paint was sacrificed for all of those easy-change pieces of $hit)

I am still not over that heavy retooling spent on those 3 step changers.

Yup, just remember that every time you wonder where all the 's are


It may be a little vicious (yet, probably true), but between these easy-things, and the existence of a superior simple series, I just think the rid'15 easy-things have 'corporate suit decision' scribbled all over them

Sideswipe and Drift are also significantly different. Different shades or "oranges" on Drift and "reds" on Sideswipe. Sideswipe also has different text and the black in his vehicle mode is replaced with red on Takara's version. Sideswipe's wheels are also different. Drift has red paint on his vehicle mode doors, plus his goatee is painted.

Yeah, TT's Drift is staggeringly better on all accounts (especially his face)

How are the shoulders on Adventure Sideswipe? Did Takara fix them?

Doubtful, apparently some of the 'clash' sideswipes' shoulders hold

The shoulders seem the same on Takara's version. Haven't opened my Clash of the Transformers Sideswipe yet. Will update you guys when I do his gallery in the next week hopefully.

I think the most noticeable feature of TT's sidswipe are the blue tron rims, they just add so much to the figure for some reason.

I personally find that Drift has some slightly better detail that does push him over Hasbro, but I like hasbro sideswipe better. I like the black parts, and the blue rims just don't do it for me to top hasbro

Mine held and are still holding well, so hopefully yours is as good

I love how Takara did that on a few of them and I would have loved if they did it on Jazz. The metallic blue in the wheels on TAV 21 Prime is really awesome.

Yeah, it would have really fleshed him out as a figure more, or really, colored rims on all of them, either the tron circle, or silver rims. I don't care that it may not be show accurate, but, really, I hold that as a fault of the show, rather than the figures.

Continuing the latest gallery theme here on Seibertron.com, prepare your optics to receive some more Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure figures. Our latest lineup sees the giraffetastic Toys'R'Us exclusive Optimus Prime, TAV07 Roadblock (not green Generations Scoop, we swear) TAV06 Underbite and TAV05 Fixit.

Heh, funny coincidence, I just found my Roadblock a few hours ago in a box of stuff unopened. Well, he was unopened anyway.

I can't believe how much I like that silly Optimus redeco.

Pity it doesn't have a long neck! lol

Ah Prime, what a colorful deco you have

I personally find that black and red Optimus to be very appealing. It looks very nice

And with only a couple of weeks left the the season finale, for the US at least, of Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Seibertron.com is proud to present an entirely unrelated gallery of one of the characters newly reintroduced to the TFverse in this iteration: Megatronus, in the 5-Step exclusive to Toys'R'Us Clash of the Transformers figure! Click on any of the images below to view the full gallery, as usual, and let us know what you make of this toy in the Energon Pub.

It's okay, I'm kinda the same way right now about UW Devy.
Anyways I think it would be cool if Takara made a Megatronus in the same class as that giant Optimus Prime they made.

WHAT'S THE FRIGGIN DEAL!?

no knees?
no poseablity?
no accuracy to scale or show?
weaponry is a joke.
did the makers just say "who gives a crud? kids don't notice anyway."

what the eff?

That's basically it, some corporate guy thought that to counter 'overly complex' transformations, was to remove them altogether

So much more potential in this mold then is utilized. I really dig this design and was planning on getting the Warrior version- Oh wait a second, that never existed despite being listed.

That should be the tag line for this series: 'You like that character? Forget it, their not gonna get a figure'

That would explain why we've got so many toys of characters I dislike immensely. I'm looking at you 'Bee.

It wouldn't be half as bad, if they would just scrap that easy-junk line


But, imagine, we're getting to a point where we can say 'when I was your age, we only had one bumblebee figure, and that had a waverunner!'

I like Bumblebee, but he's overrated. Personally I think characters like Blurr should get more love.

Hopefully he does come out as a warrior. And I do believe some characters need more time in the spotlight. There are other kid-appeal characters out there (looking at you hot shot, cheetor and Smokescreen)

Agreed, whatever happened to Hot Shot?

We need Hot Shot to return

He does.



And he is the best-developed Blurr we've ever gotten in cartoon form.

HAHA yes! forgot about him! different styled, but he is a great character

When we say Titan, the first thing that comes to mind is Titan Class figures, such as Metroplex or Devastator, of course, but we all seem to forget that there are figures labeled as Titans. Those are the ones the fandom refers to as "Garden Gnome Optimus Prime" or "Oh, those shampoo bottle plastic statues!"

We older fans and collectors seem to find these figures unappealing due to what they are, and that's understandable considering they carry the name Transformers, but don't actually do what the name implies. Kids, on the other hand, sometimes just want an Optimus Prime figure who can stand there and look cool while beating up his sister's Ken doll and what better way to do that than with an Optimus Prime figure that's all ready to go into battle?

Some fans and kids want a figure that's nice and easy to Transform, a desk toy that's just enough of a time killer to get through our monotonous days and Hasbro has finally come to the rescue! Titan Changers! Easy enough for kids to learn and master, while being quick and easy, not to mention affordable, for those of us who want to tinker and play, but don't really have the time or opportunity.

Which leads us to our newest Seibertron.com galleries!

Robots In Disguise Titan Changers Bumblebee and Optimus Prime!

If only a little bit more paint had been used. they actually don't look too bad

Loving the intro to that story so much. Really hitting the nail on the head

The sad thing is we assume kids have no taste in toys, meanwhile the last time I was in the TF aisle kids eyes were glued to the generations/combiner wars figures. I had a chance to ask one such half-ling what they thought of the RID line and they said they wished TF Prime was still around instead.

They may have meant the design or the show. Hasbro's current endeavours are from overwhelming feedback that the toys had gotten far too complex in the movie era. They are curently trying to find their footing I guess.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Loving the intro to that story so much. Really hitting the nail on the head

Yeah, he did a great job. Way better than what I would have done. I would have referred to these as the Action Master Elites of our era which would have gone over many heads.

So Hasbro finally figured out how to get me to buy these Titan figures that I have excluded from my collection. Make 'em transform, and I'll do galleries of them!
