Any one else getting a beast machines silverbolt vibe from the skystalker repaint?

Gōradora looks really colorful. And thank goodness it's a unique deco instead of some slavish G1 Abominus deco.

I can't tell by Hunter Arcee looks almost black in this image. Hunter Ratchet, however, is Movieverse green.

Strangely enough, EG09 is given the name "Turbo Cycle" instead of "Groove". :???:

Nice to see BeCool getting continued in Japan.

I've heard that the "Orion Pax vs Megatron" Generations 2-pack may not actually be called that in Japan. Can someone who can read their names tell me what this image says their names are?

Looks like Generations Thrilling 30 Bumblebee is going to be called "Goldbug" in Japan.

Not really, since he looks mostly yellow with some purple as a secondary color.

Interesting... I almost want that EG09 guy to fill the Animated Prowl-shaped void in my collection. Wonder what the scale would be like compared to everyone else. Probably ridiculous.

I meant more like how he was colored in the show rather than the toy, because the skstalker repaint has the yellow legs n hands, with a purple body. However the thing that kinda throws it off is the huge yellow wings on his shoulders, where B.M silverbolt had the little yellowish feathers

TG-25 Orion Pax & Megatronus

Looks like they went with the original name before he had it shortened.

Turbo Cycle (based on G1 AM Prowl's), and Beachcomber.

I think those just might be the Hasbro versions on display as a stand-in, since notice how Orion Pax has a clear windshield instead of blue and Megs has no purple-painted Tron lines.

Because it implies that Takara is going to be using those toys for pre-WFC versions of Orion Pax and Megatronus, when that's clearly not what these toys are meant be, and Megs' altmode is an Earth vehicle even.

Oh. Right.

Well, it doesn't bother me, but I suppose it sucks if you really care.

some real nice colours there. and a new deco for Abominus! dammit, I've not even got one of them yet and already looks like I'm going to try and get 3 different ones! argg!

Excellent stuff.

The MP figures are all impressive. Please release now! Cool looking display under each MP figure. Wonder if those will come with the figures and can be linked together to build a set?

Takara Springer looks underwhelming compared to his Hasbro counterpart. While Takara Blitzwing looks snazzy with his deco.

Looks like Hoist has made an appearance.

G23 looks absolutely stunning! =P~

Why did it have to be the Ultimate class figure. It's going to be so expensive. At least I'll be saving some money not getting G09. I know it's a small picture, but does it look like 'Abominus' has a unique weapon?

And its name has finally been figured out. Its name is "Dragotron Final Form".

It's the wings of the Windrazor mold at an angle.

All of my jealousy! I was hoping Hasbro would do the Monstructor homage with the giftset, but that obviously didn't happen. XD I'm glad Takara is doing it, not that I'll be able to justify the price of it.

In other news, Takara's version of BH Ratchet has upgraded from "Mishmash Homage" to "Homage Trainwreck." Prime Ratchet is molded like BW Dinobot II with BW Dinobot's drill shield/weapon and is now deco'd like Movie Ratchet.

I honestly don't see any Monstructor-ness in Gōradora's deco. I mean, sure, he's multicolored, but I don't see much a pattern that I'd recognizably see as a Monstructor-esque deco.

Someone on another board suggested Dinoking colors, but the legs throw that one off as well.

It might just be an original deco.

The CyberGundam blog has posted a couple of additional images from the Tokyo Toy Show that reveal Art Storm's Super Deformed EM Gokin 08 Mugen Calibur and the non-transforming EM Alloy 01 Mugen Calibur will be getting Roadbuster repaints!

Super Deformed EM Gokin 08 Mugen Calibur is scheduled for release in February of next year priced at 5,040 yen (approx $53 USD), and EM Alloy 01 Mugen Calibur is scheduled for a December of this year priced at 7,329 yen (approx $78 USD).

Non-transforming? Darn, I had my hopes up when I first saw that picture.

An actual transforming version does exist (and I do mean a modern day toy rather than the original), but there's been no word of it getting the same treatment here yet.

Something like that, I think, yes. Though, less red, more yellow, IIRC.

Look for Brave Gokin Mugen Calibur. He comes in two decos: yellow and tan with grey, and grey and tan which is the Miyazawa mokei version.

Don't, don't get that. I had a bit of a melt down a long while ago trying to find the perfect Roadbuster for my Classics, and checked on a lot of possibilities and they're all really, really bad.
Be it awkward design, bad articulation, crappy materials, way too expensive for what it is, or in the case of the one you mean all of it in one. Plus it's too big for Classics and too small for MP.

The best of the bunch is the non-transforming one here, best materials, best articulation, best design, and best accessories.
Really the worst thing about it is that it doesn't transform, but it looks like it could which is good enough for a robot-mode display.

No, you didn't miss anything. I'm just throwing in since it TToy event. Also because there was rumor of MP20 might be Mirage, Megatron v2, Galvatron, UM v2, etc.

On a somewhat related note, are there any big presentations during this event? Or is it a bunch of TFs on tables that no one seems to want to take pictures of?

The tweets are coming in from Takara Tomy's Transformers presentation at the Tokyo Toy Show, and the next Masterpiece figure has been revealed as MP-12G G2 Sideswipe! A black version of the MP-12 Lambor mold with brand new weapons. Images mirrored below from the twitter accounts of @GENgoraw and @ripetakobozu:

Those surely aren't the final colors, the weapons are just plain test-shot-grey. I'm not sure what the spikey bits are all about, but I dig the SMG and the... ENGINE GUN (Axelerators, yay). LOVE IT. Now, go get the colors right so you can SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. :grin:

Well, still hoping that the actual MP20 will be Megatron v2. At least this shows that Takara isn't sticking to some predictable mystical grand plan and anything is possible^^
