I'm so glad Takara is doing Brave again, because they are the only company that does it right.

Brave is a very interesting view into how Transformers engineering could have evolved in a timeline without the Beast Era.

"Takara Tomy's Yuki has stated that several TF characters have names influenced by the works of animator Yoshiyuki Tomino. It's likely these are characters from Beast Wars or later, but who could they be?"

So, for the final Marvel G1 issues in which Optimus gets his Action Master-styled body... they drew a cover with MP-10 on it?

Description seems to point to the end of the original Marvel comic run. Number of pages make me think the dozen or so issues leading up to issue 80?

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure if they meant that, the UK run as well, or including RG1 as well.

Yeah, that's part of why I was curious. I think he was back in that body, or something closer to it, for RG1, so...

Takara-Tomy's both at Wonderfestival Summer 2026 (Timestamped)


Even if you watch it from the beginning, this video mainly shows Japanese robot/mecha toys.

Totally new Takara OC named "Magnaregulus" (or "Magna Regulus", depending on if the romanization is meant to be a one- or two-word name).

Regulus is the brightest star in the Leo constellation and is also Latin for "Prince" or "Little King", tying into both Razorclaw, the lion, being the core part of the combination and the "-king" part of Predaking's name.

A new Steel Machine God game, Magna Regulus, has been announced...but is this really a Transformer? We can see what looks like the words "police" and "ICPO".

They seem to be Autobots too.
