Japanese Transformers News

This is really for the New Legends thread since it's for the green Lio Convoy toy. Can someone please move said post to the correct thread?

Also, that English translation is baaaaaaaaaaaaad. A much better one is currently in the works.

 

[Agent X]

I get the feeling the upcoming Star Eagle is gonna be a high demand import.

Those are looking good! I like the bits of blue on Blackout, I don't think I had really seen that on earlier pics. Would like to see these two with new heads as Roadbuster and Whirl.

I think Blackout is already pretty close to Skyhammer.

 

[Donocropolis]

Forgot about Skyhammer! I always wanted him, but never did find him in a store.

 

[Cybersnark]

Already planning to use him as a bulked up version of Tracer.

To see some photos I took of the recently released KO "Initial-D" Optimus Prime, go here.

I do rather like the look of that thing, but I can't justify that price.

It's a lot bigger than I expected but it's still too expensive for me, even in Japan.

What is this? Is it basically a Japanese release of the Walmart Retro Series deluxes?

Looks like, yeah.

Get in the damn truck, Shinji!

I know almost nothing about Evangelion, but this one does look kinda cool.

I want us to start doing end-of-year awards, just so we can name this the absolute worst vehicle mode storage of the year.

If not ever.

That's just hilariously bad. It makes Studio Series '86 Hot Rod, the new one, look sound by comparison.

Style Gen still beats it out for worst since that storage requires a clear plastic extra piece.

Isn’t all that stuff sitting on the gray box on the bottom left? Might be a tie in that case.

I kind of want it but at the same time, I’ve grown to be meh on Evangelion because of the jive endings every single time. Plus, the mold still has the messed up elbows, so I dunno.
