Japanese online retailer eHobby has posted the first images of the upcoming Transformers Henkei Minibots sets. Previous images of the figures showed the Hasbro versions of the figures. The C-18 Attack Team set includes Beachcomber, Brawn, and Cliffjumper, while the C-19 Spy Team set includes Cosmos, Warpath, and Wheelie. See what deco changes have been made to the figures by clicking on the image to the left. Both sets are due out in March.

IMO, only Warpath and Red Bumblebee are different enough to warrant a purchase. If those two were in the same set, I'd probably bite. But as they aren't, I think I'm going Universe on all 6 molds (and I already have the first three)

Agreed and TFSource is asking $26.

I really need this minibots.
PoweredConvoy
I'm betting no since we have the Deluxe version already, and they haven't repeated any characters within the line (except for Crystal Convoy & the Lucky Draw prizes).

I really liked that custom of Movie Stockade as Brawn – I feel the punching feature just suits Brawn rather well and the Altmode is not unsuitable either.
I wonder if they will redecorate Brawn into Outback at all ? or maybe make G2 like Chrome versions.
ckhtiger
the motorcycle was meant to be wheelie

Warpath looks great. I want one.
He was one of my favorites on the show.
CKH, I would have to see your customs to compare.
I don't like the motorcyle(WreckGar?) his arms are too
stubby. What is he supposed to do with those?

The new molds. I don't like seeing repaints of figures that were never meant to be other characters.
ckhtiger
so just out of curiosity, do you guys like these new figures more, or these ones I made years ago?

Does that mean we will never get Henkei Legends G1 Bumblebee?
PoweredConvoy
I'm sure. They probably weren't satisfied with him being a straight redeco of BB. He still is, but at least it's not a straight redeco of this line's BB (as there is no Legends BB in Universe only CJ).

i like all the vehicle forms. I'm just not too hapy with Cliffy in robot mode. His head looks like he ate too much. Kinda ruined the Universe figure for me cause he's my second favorite TF….
And i generally like 90% of things coming f or the universe line
dark69
must have them ALL
Railguard
They look cool but I wish they were a little bigger.

Wonder if takara made that CJ cuz they never made a classics version from the deluxe BB
I agree about the black faced Brawn, it should be white or light grey to contrast with his helmet
Can't wait for Wheelie, Cosmos, and Warpath, Hasbro versions that is. The only one I feel like Takara did better is Warpath but not $20 better

just got brawn,beachcomber,and bb a few days ago and now i have some regrets after seeing these pics. yet again henkei betters hasbro. if we get some reprolabels for these three then i guess i'll settle for that.

I have Hasbro's Brawn right here at my desk… now I'm sad because his green sucks in comparison! I plan to paint his face silver though… at least I can do that much.
Hound & Mirage
It's still possible, depending on how many years Hasbro keeps making Universe Classics figures. (Though maybe less likely now as they can always say, "Hey, we already gave you that guy…") I'd really really love a deluxe Warpath. —So long as the mold was actually intended as Warpath and had a big cannon stickin' outta his chest. And Takara would make it maroon even if Hasbro wouldn't.

Wow. Nice ass green on Brawn there…
And Cliffjumper in the U.S. within how long?
crasis
I'm shocked that Brawn still has the inaccurate black face from the Hasbro version. Yuck. I definitely would have pulled the trigger if they went that extra mile, as a nicely painted Brawn and the addition of Cliffjumper would have earned my money. Oh well.
