Fellow Seibertronian primalxconvoy got his hands on Takara Transformers TAV 50 Hyper Surge Prime and wrote a quick review for us to highlight some points that may not be apparent at first glance. If anyone is interested in this toy, this is a great read to be aware of some problems in order to set your expectations, since this is intended for kids afterall. The short review is interspersed with relevant images from alfes's gallery.

I got this toy the other day. Here are some observations:

- No Autobot symbols in lorry mode (I used Repros for mine).

- No upper arm swivel, which is strange as his upper thighs do. This means that his posability is limited.

- The regular head swivels a bit, but the super mode visor DOES NOT. This means that he cannot look around in super mode.

- The arms, although engineered to have tabs, don't tab together in Alt mode very well.

- the clear sword blade and hilt are detachable, and feature a special peg which fits into only this prime's hands. Not sure why.

- No painted wheels, which is odd for Takara.

- The molded Autobot symbol on the eagle is both unpainted and obscured by the eagle head in super mode, meaning that Optimus has no clear faction symbol on display while in this mode.

- The cab comes unattached in the box, and simply hangs off the attached area. It's tempting to want to pull it down further, causing it to come off.

- the same for the wings, as they appear to fold, but don't.

In conclusion, the toy is perhaps more durable and easier to transform that the previous iteration of super mode Prime, but it's got less details and paint apps.

no bicep swivels, the alt mode looks like shite. if i get this, it'll be when it hits clearance. same as I did with Ultimate Beast Hunters Optimus (snagged him for 25 bucks at a Marshall's I did)

Dengeki Hobby has updated their pre-orders with some new stock images of TAV-53 Hyper Surge Sideswipe and TAV-54 Scorponok! The new images show off the newly painted figures in all their glory. Sideswipe comes with the minicon Windstrike as well. Check out the images below and let us know what you think in the comments section.

Love the paint job on Scorponok. Of course, being from Takara that's pretty much a gven.

Orders are up for these guys at the usual Japanese retailers. Shame the exchange rate is no longer in our favor and I've got some $300 into August already. I'm ordering Scorponok off HLJ so I can cancel later if need be.

BTW, bigger pictures of Scorponok on HLJ.

Though closer to the show deco than Hasbro's, Scorponok's black should be more green.

I do like that Scorponok. The browns and yellows are interesting colors for transformers and finally a figure where chicken legs actually work awesomely in bot mode.

Take a closer look, the figure is definitely green, not black.

I placed an order for TAV-33 because a good deal came up and in anticipation I was searching for reviews demonstarting his new features. But there are none in English. This was the best I could find and I wish it were longer.

I'll get to it, but regular giant Prime left a real bad taste in my mouth.

Via another of our site sponsors, BigBadToyStore, we have a look at some more upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Adventure figures, as we breach number 60 in the line with TAV 58 Sideswipe with Windstrike, TAV 59 Ratchet, TAV 60 Bisk, TAV 61 God Optimus Prime (Power Surge for Hasbro, as seen here), and TAV 62 being another mystery character, just like TAV 57. Check out the images mirrored below!

That Ratchet is far from being a decent improvement over the Hasbro one. The Alt modes are just as bland, here's the Hasbro one.

Quite dissapointed with this.

Is it just me or does Birk look a lot like the same engineering as Prime Vehicon? Looks very similar except the forearms.

Yes. With different accessories (and maybe deco). TAV 61 and TAV 50 are 2 different releases of th same mold. I may go edit that in the news post to make it more clear.

I was going to say, that's a "level-up" from the original and nothing like the Hasbro version. Hard to tell if the image is grayscale or painted that way.

TAV 50 Hyper Surge Optimus has been out for a little while now and yet hasn't had much coverage. This is probably due to him being more for a younger audience and even more because the Hasbro version was out at the same time and doesn't require importing for the west. However, we were able to find a fun stop motion video of this toy from youheidx. This video shows the play-ability aspect of this toy in its Takara premium deco. Enjoy!

Really tempted by this figure. If it weren't for that vehicle mode I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

After the finding of Starscream in the Robots in Disguise line in Canada, we also have confirmation -via Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook - on what the Transformers Adventure mystery figures we have seen solicited previously will be: TAV57 Hypersurge Starscream and TAV62 Starscream! The latter is probably the closest to the one we just saw from Hasbro in the Clash of the Transformers exclusive line, so feel free to speculate about the new deco in the Energon Pub - and indeed, Starscream's presence on the Robots in Disguise show here!

Takara's retools are really getting impressive. They've managed to turn the Starscream mold into a circle and an oval.

And here I was, thinking this mold couldn't get any more Starscream references if they tried.

Wonderfest Summer 2016 has some more Takara reveals for us, and this time we are looking at the Transformers Adventure TAV line. We now have the reveal of:

TAV 57 Hyper Surge Starscream
TAV 56 Windblade
TAV 58 Sideswipe Weaponiser in clear Plastic
TAV 56 Hyper Surge Nemesis Prime

The images also contain the upcoming figures Scorponok, Ratchet and Bisk.

Windblade and Nemesis Prime are the big reveals here since it was unknown how Takara would release the warrior Power Surge Optimus Prime mold. As it turns out, they will be releasing this warrior figure in Nemesis Prime colours, as they did with their release of the original Warrior Optimus mold. This means that, like the original mold, every main deco of this figure will be its own regional/retail exclusive: The Standard Optimus colours will be a Hasbro exclusive, the Nemesis Prime deco will be Takara Exclusive and the Clash of Transformers deco will be Toysrus exclusive. If anyone wants to know more about the Power Surge Warrior remold, feel free to check out this recent picture filled review.

Onto Windblade, the reason this toy's reveal was so anticipated was to compare it with the Hasbro release which seemed to be lacking paint applications to make it less red. The Takara one does indeed have black paint applications over the red plastic on the head (hair), hands, shoulder pads, sides and near the rotors in vehicle mode. Pictures of the Hasbro version have bee included for comparisons below. Let us know which of these you intend on picking up and if you will stick with the Hasbro version for any of these.

Hasbro version of Windblade:

How does this compare to Takara's LEGENDS range Windblade? If the details are the same, then perhaps I'll pick this version up as my CHUG version. I ought the Decepticon repaint (Slipstream?) of her, and wasn't really impressed by the mold (hard to stand up, bits don't really clip together well in alt mode, etc) already.

They are totally different molds, forget the details.

The lack of wrists still sucks, but that is some pure-grade TAKARA WINS AGAIN on Windblade there. I might actually be tempted to buy that (though I'll still be looking for a way to articulate those wrists).

That paint is so much better; looks like I've got two choices for Windy now

Can anyone who already has the RiD Windblade mold tell me if it's better than the Generations one? Just the mold itself, ignoring the paint apps.

The pictures are right next to each other; are we not seeing the same ones?

Oh, black hands. That changes everything. :roll:

Edit: okay, now I see the dabs on the head, but that's something I could do myself and save the import costs and wait. Leader Prime it's not.

I mean yeah Takara wins a gain but it's still not that big of a difference. I'm one of the few who thinks the Generations Windblade isn't that bad, especially when you pop off the heels and turn them around. I'll have to think about the RiD figure more. However, I really like that Nemesis Prime redeco.

Will stick with Hasbro's as well for windblade, especially with the current exchange rate.

Also, just curious, is it still a redeco if this is the first release of the mold from takara?

I don't bother with the technicalities for the most part, but well it's a new deco for a mold that has already been released, although not by Takara. So between the two companies and the mold in general, I'd call it a redeco. However, in Takara's case it is brand new tooling with the very first deco for the mold. I think it just depends on your point of view.

Fools. The Hasbro version lacks any black detail above the waist -- Takara's has that black on her head, chest, shoulder, and wrists to break up her PMS color scheme. Then there's the blue lining in her forehead that adds consistency. On top of that, the red is one color rather than being pinkish red from the waste up and bloody diarrhea for the shins, and finally it's topped off with a purple sword. Takara's version immorally violates Hasbro's piss-poor excuse HARD.

Ratchet, on the other hand....

Cheers for that. I knew that they were different molds, but wanted to know if the Adventure version had enough paint details and mold design to be better or as good as the Japanese Legends release.

I've popped a comparison pic below, using your helpful links. Cheers!

Btw, I couldn't upload this picture via Seibertron, as it wouldn't allow any image over 256kb, or something like that. Please fix this, as that's a pretty small amount, plus other sites like TFW2005 have no such problems for me.
