Hot on the heels of the earlier Beast Hunters listings from Takara-Tomy, we have some listings of a Beast Hunters EZ Collection coming to Japan in April, also from Hobby Ark:
EG-01 Convoy
EG-02 Bumblebee
EG-03 Prowl
EG-04 Smokescreen
EG-05 Hound
EG-06 Tank Megatron
EG-07 Starscream
EG-08 Airachind
Once again no pictures are available. All are priced at SGD$13, implying they are all the same size class – in other words, Legion class. Of those named, you might recognize Bumblebee, Smokescreen and Airachnid from the first assortment of Beast Hunters Cyberverse – but there are other names on the list such as Prowl, Hound and Tank Megatron who are completely new to us.
Don’t take the list as gospel though – EG-01 takes the name “Convoy”, Optimus Prime’s old Japanese name which has not been used for a mainstream line in Japan since 2009. However there are hints here at some kind of new Cyberverse / Legends class toys in some shape or form – time will tell what they actually are!

preordered Predaking and "Hunter" Shockwave. I really hope Shockwaver looks good.
RedAlert Rescue
It might be Draygo-Tron rather than Drag-0-Tron.
I will admit Drag-o-Tron makes him sound like an irish crossdresser to me.
I don't mind Dray-Go-Tron though that works for me. it's kind of Webdiverish sounding.
Shadowbreaker
No more Arms Microns?
Oh well, at least Shockwave is confirmed. Weird that Prime still has green windows but a blue sword though.

Prowl, trailbraker, hound lead by ultramagnus that sounds like solid back up.
Rattrap Primal
I find the logic of this voyager is sound. Hypothesis, must get (though the US version if we get it, thank goodness/ any diety you subscribe to that Toy Fair is next month)
Thundershot
Clearly you're not familiar with such grand TF names as Erector, Clench, Drillnuts, Windbreaker, Flareup, and Discharge…
Shmoptimus Prime
Hahahaha "Dragotron" has got to be one of the worst TF names ever! Might as well call him "Dragqueenotron"
RedAlert Rescue
Yeah Shockwave is pretty Spiky – I suspect he was designed when they were developing Beast Hunters and he just showed up early. as he's completely in keeping with that Spikey look.
Oh and speaking of EZ series I'd welcome a Prime Prowl made from Prime Smokescreen and I'd also rather like to see an EZ series G1 Smokescreen too. made from RTS Prowl.

i'd buy one to put in my chug display

what i really want to see is the large scale predaking.. that figure is going to make or break the line for me.
.. from what we've seen of it so far, it's definitely making the line for me rather than breaking it. the new voyager prime looks awesome.. so, hopefully we'll see some really cool stuff at toy fair.
also, i wonder if the characters are going to look the way their figures do.
JukeOutlander
Hah. Knew it. Only makes sense it'd get produced.
Raiju
Yup, particularly his head "horns", wings, and his ribbed/segmented arm cannon hose were spiked out.
Autovolt 127
Hooray a Voyager Shockwave.
Arashistorm
Yes! Yes!!!!
Chris Campbell
I alllllllmost pulled the trigger on AM-29 last week. So glad I didn't. Now I just hope he isn't all wack looking.
Paxtin
To be fair, his design in TFP was already pretty spiky looking to begin with.
ShiroPrime
Voyager Shocks? *sigh* Oh well, the FoC fig is still nice.
trence5
A Shockwave perfectly sized to stand beside my voyager Megatron – FINALLY I begin to complete my conclave
Atomatron
yes yes yes, bring him on in March/April!! whoever gets it out first gets my money
rattraprules98
Good point, but really hope you're wrong.
