This is a cool little toy I found on accident while web surfing.
Its a Japanese ebay listing for some sort of transformer that goes from bB to robot.
Let me know if someone can translate it, I would buy some.

Looks kinds like the XB transformer that I got at Wal Mart, except mine is blue. Also found a little TC transformer there as well.

u mean this

i got mine lst year as soon as it came out. u can find them on ebay for about $55 which is what i paid. unlike the us version, this one is metal which explains the price instead of $20 for plastic.

Yeah, it's a color variant of the Autobot Skids you can buy at Wal-Mart, with an figurine from one of the Japanese TF cartoons.

Honestly the US one is better because it's cheaper! You can buy 2 for the price of 1 JPN model.

^^ i disagree. the japan version is metal and it is easier to assemble. plus it matches my tcm.

Yes, the Japanese (Takara) is better than the US (Hasbro) version. The US version is cheaper because it's made of plastic while the Japan version is mostly diecast. You can buy one directly at HLJ.Com (Hobby Link Japan).

i looked on ebay a couple of days ago for the Jap version but to no avail. I would definately would not mind spending more for the metal one versus cheap prepainted plastic one.

I guess the Japanese one is better, if you can make yourself pay $50 for a toy car when you own the real one.
