New images have been released of the upcoming Japanese versions of the Transformers Prime mainline toys, including the (for now) Japan only Skywarp. A recolored version of the First Edition Starscream, Skywarp also appears to come with new accessories.
Also shown in the new images are Japan's gimmick for the new line - unlike the US series emphasis on MechTech on the bigger toys and standard accessories on the Deluxes, Japan's releases all feature Arms Microns, small partner figures that transform into the weapons of the main characters - so Ratchet has a laser scalpel Arms Micron, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have partners that becomes their arm cannons, etc.
This is a real departure - it is the first time a Japanese mainline has featured this extent of different toolings for many years.

Kapow Toys. Transformers Prime Japan toys can also be preordered at our sponsors

Zap2it has updated with the title and description of the 28th episode of Transformers Prime. The title is no surprise considering the title of the season premiere, and the description - which I think most people following the show saw coming a mile away - does spoil a certain plot development, so read at your own risk.
Transformers Prime Episode 28 / Season 2 Episode 2
Orion Pax, Part 2
Jack learns how to restore Optimus' memory.

Great news, Transformers Kabaya kit fans! We've got a double reveal to share with you now. Revealed today on Rakutan stores,
Snakas' blog and the
Cybergundam blog amongst many others are two new series of Transformers Kabaya kits. First of all, there is a fifth wave of the revived Kabaya Transformers, and second, a new Kabaya combiner set.
Starting with
Wave 5, there are three great new additions in the form of Deathsaurus from Transformers Victory, War for Cybertron Optimus Prime and a Classics style reimaginging of Protectobot Hot Spot. Some pretty cool choices - and another Transformers Victory character given some love as a Kabaya! Each kit in the set also comes with extra parts to form "full armour" Deathsaurus - I'm guessing that means he'll have both breastmasters?
