New Micron Boosters out in Japan

Post by Nevermore »

Originally announced here:
http://tformers.com/Micron-Booster-4-Na ... /news.html

As TFormers' transliterations of the names were not all that accurate, here's a better version:

Strongarm (Classics Night Rescue Team) redeco => Rad Rogue (or Radrogue)
Terrorsaur (Classics Dinobots) redeco => Gnash Teeh (or Gnashteeth)
Dirt Rocket (Classics Dirt Digger Team) redeco => Windrazor (I've had lengthy debates about this - the Katakana spelling is the same as the one for G2 Windrazor)
Swoop (Classics Dinobots) redeco => Reptics
Overbite (Classics Predator Attack Team) redeco => Gredator
Snarl (Classics Predator Attack Team) redeco => Apexis (unless someone comes up with a better transliteration)
Wideload (Classics Demolition Team) redeco => Refuser (or Refusor)
Sledge (Classics Demolition Team) redeco => Rockblade

Seems like they're out now (image taken from the Japanese Transformers Image Board):

:eek: Barney's a minicon?!

In all seriousness, though, it kinda looks like Beast Megatron. :up:

Is nice, but I don't really feel like they put as much into the robot modes, after Armada. Some are all right, but the majority of them don't imperss me. I'd like to snag the Classics Firebot, but I have Strongarm (meh) and I don't want the helicopter guy.

He really does look alot like BW Megs in dino mode. Very cool..that is the only one I'd like to have really though. I'm very surprised the pink motorbike isn't named Arcee as well to be honest.

There's a previously unannounced repaint of Knockout from the Classics Dinobots, whose name is apparently "Ironrange".

The clear "chase" police car (Classics Strongarm repaint) is "Detectus", whereas the black regular version is Rad Rogue.

The chromed T-Rex (Classics Terrorsaur redeco) is "Chromebite", whereas the Beast Wars Megatron-colored verison is "Gnash Teeth".

Does Japan like Translucent TFs or Something? It seems almost every minicon is re-released there in translucent plastic!
