In-hand images of TakaraTomy Goldbug, Hoist and Trailbreak

Alfes 2010 has posted an article over on his blog featuring the recently released TakaraTomy Transformers Generations TG-26 Bumblebee Goldbug and TG-27 Trailbreaker & Hoist. The images, he has posted, include comparison shots to their Hasbro counterparts (though he compares Goldbug to Bumblebee and not Goldfire). All of the toys feature alternate decos to their western release with the usual metallic paint applications but also it should be noted that Goldbug coes with a blue Generations Bumblebee head and not the Goldfire one. A Trailbreaker also features a red visor making the toy a close homage to the original G1 figure whilst Hoist features a darker shade of green. You can view all of the images by clicking the link above.

2014 Toy reveals

Some of the Hasbro toy reveals have now been posted online such as IDW Skids, Goldfire (Goldbug), Waspinator and Dreadwing, whilst others haven't. The news is pretty much as we had anticipated, with Transformers Beast Hunters being dragged out until Transformers 4 has been released whilst the main focus for the toys will be the 30th Anniversary line, focusing on the IDW Designs. Surely the one many fans will love is the annoucement of More Than Meets The Eye Whirl, along with his shipmates Tailgate and Swerve.

Hasbro also confirmed that they want to simplfy the Transformation os Transformers, as they don't like them being too complicated. They want the kids to just be able to play on the floor - of cause other reasons will be that it costs more in RND

Other toys annouced were

Whirl
Swerve
Tailgate
Skids
Waspinator
Goldfire (Goldstar)
Dreadwind
Cosmos
Skywarp
Scooop (with Double Targetmasters)
Doubledealer (recolour of Blitzwing)
Rhinox (Voyager Class)
Armada Starscream

Custom WST Springer and Goldbug

Ebay recently saw two unlicenced Worlds Smallest Transformers toys sold, for quiet high prices, which were made as exclusive items for the Wonderfest 2008 convention which took place earlier in the year in Japan.

The figures were Springer and Goldbug, both new molds, both fully transformable, and both looking pretty nice (especially Springer).
