Thanks to Snakas for sharing with us a picture of some non-transforming Gashapon Q-Transformers figures that will be available in June of this year. This set of toys includes five different characters: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Jazz, Arcee, and Lockdown. According to information shared by Snakas, these guys will run for 300 yen, and will be released under the Takara-Tomy ARTS label (same as the recent decoy / eraser figures). They are said to be around the same size as the regular Q-Transformers, but they have traded transformation for designs closer to the animation, and five points of articulation – neck, both shoulders, and both elbows.

Q-Transformers 2016 Packaging Revealed
Takara-Tomy’s Q-Transformers line has undergone a revision for its 2016 lineup, according to this image from Takara-Tomy’s TF_PR Twitter account. The image shows a table displaying the upcoming releases – including new molds like Arcee – who now come in boxes rather than on cards, displaying the toys in their robot modes. We think this new packaging looks pretty sharp – take a look and decide for yourself.
Q-Transformers Arcee Talks Beast Wars Anniversary
Earlier today we received an announcement hinting towards a combination of Q-Transformers and the 20th Anniversary of Beast Wars. It was easy to jump to conclusions and assume we’d be seeing Beast Wars characters in the Q-Transformers styling. Unfortunately for now, it looks like we are not seeing merchandise in this form. Although our hopes were high, the announcement was rather a short video of Beast Wars history presented by Q-Transformers Arcee.
The short video can be found on Nicovideo, although we do not have a thorough translation at this time. Given the popularity of Q-Transformers, is it possible we’ll see Beast Wars introduced to the line during its 20th Anniversary celebration? Time will tell, head on over to the discussion thread to discuss!
