By way of Japanese image board 2Chan, we have a look at a scan showing the Transformers Go! Ninja team, the second combiner set for the line who are due for a release in July (Gekisomaru, the lion), August (Hishomaru, the eagle) and September (Sensuimaru, the shark). The image shows the three individual robots in both beast and robot modes, along with artwork of one of the three combined modes, Gougekisou. Check out the image attached to this story at left.

Sure hope the batteries are not included because will want to keep it MISB. On another hand,i can insert batteries by myself if i wanted to.

^Yep. Pretty much this. Personally, I guess I am patient enough to wait till the end of the year to get them as there's alot on my plate in terms of betting what I want currently.
After MP Prowl and Silverstreak, the e-hobby Preceptor repaint Magnificus is high on my to get list. I won't be too worried about GO! stuff because they are pretty regular releases and are high in stock.

Wow…this looks WAY cooler then the Samurai team's combined mode.
unicronic
Thanks for the clarification.
Didn't realise that lights & sound cost that much extra. Also wondering why they didn't add this to all 3 then?

Nope. The police car together with the fire truck & jet are all voyager sized.
Only difference is, the police car have electronics (lights & sounds). That's why it has a slightly higher price point.
Fallout
police car bot has electronics, that's why.
unicronic
I am wondering about their individual sizes as the Police Car robot has a higher asking price (around 35% difference) than the jet and fire truck.
Although this doesn't have to mean anything it could signify that one robot is larger than the other two.

Power Rangers (Super Sentai) sure but Braves had them too (you can call them a sister series to Transformers in Japan).
Stepper
They are more Japanese style in actual fact.

Single bot would be voyager sized (same as the samurai team) & as for combined mode not too sure at the moment..
orangeitis
I've always thought that those series had a G1-ish style.
And compared to recent TF series, IMO they really do.

This looks pretty classic. I'm not sure where i've seen lion heads as a transforming bot's symbol but I'm sure I have. Maybe Power Rangers. It's a shame Hasbro doesn't make Transformers in the Unicron Trilogy style no more.
Stepper
I will rather they come out a giftset or sort of rather than individual.

What's the size of the single and combined robot?
unicronic
These figures look interesting and kinda remind me of RID combiners where function took priority ahead of form. For example JRX – which was a lot of fun – had individual robots which had the robot element worked on last with vehicle and combiner element first.
These look similar with the sharkbot having huge legs to allow for a stable lower torso in combined and, no doubt, beefy arms in chest mode.
The birdbot much like in the equivalent in JRX will serve as a stabilizing component.
I am aware that any bot can fit any role but I'm sure that there will be some trade off somewhere.
All in all, these look very interesting not least became they 'came out of nowhere' and seem to be pure fun and ott Japanese design first.
Roanstalker
These lok interesting. But it looks like the combining has put a toll on their design. That lion head is huge. And the bird doesnt really look much like a bird (like Hawksaber).
Sol Fury
It's probably because while the Samurai are coming all together in June, these three are coming months apart (the first in July, then one in August and the shark in September).
I'd expect preorders about a month before the release of each on HLJ and stuff. Try around the 14th-18th or so?
Agent Adam
It's because these three are spread out over three months instead of releasing at the same time.

I wonder why robotkingdom only has these has individuals and doesn't have a special going for the set of 3 like they do for the Samurai Team.
Any idea when anime-export/HLJ/Ami-ami will put up preorders?
Stepper
These Ninja team do spot similar look like some of those Superlink Transformers.
