Sega of Japan has gone live with their website for their two new Transformers Animated Japan themed arcade games - Transformers Animated The Chase, and Transformers Animated the Shooting. With every 100 yen game, the machines dispense a collector card which can be used to power up your characters in game. The cards themselves have photos of the Transformers Animated toys - including a group of new toy-repaints who have not been announced yet anywhere in the world! There are also some better looks at a couple of upcoming toys namely Rodimus, Waspinator and Swindle. The new toys shown off are Midnight Jazz (black redeco of Animated Jazz), Super Sonic Blurr (redeco of Blurr with red highlights instead of two-tone blue), Chromia (blue redeco of Arcee) and Blackarachnia Elita-1 Version (Animated Blackarachnia in Generation 1 Elita-1's pink colors). At this time it is unknown if these were created for the game only, or if they might see release somewhere.

The games also feature a selection of Generation 1 cards, all of which - bar one - are based on the Takara-Tomy Masterpiece Transformers series. The only exception to this is the card for Generation 1 Soundwave who is based on his original Generation 1 toy. Read into this what you will.
