Courtesy of 2005 Boards member Masabon, we have received scans of the July 2010 edition of Dengeki Hobby magazine. This edition highlights the next assortment of Transformers Animated toys to be released in Japan, including
Jetfire and
Jetstorm,
Skywarp,
Thundercracker and
Soundblaster. There is also a page of coverage for Takara-Tomy's Transformers 2010 campaign highlighting the three pieces for the campaign revealed so far:
Masterpiece Convoy Sleep Mode, Crystal Animated
Optimus Prime and
Rodimus "Sons of Cybertron" two pack, and
Unicron. Interestingly there is also a hint and a promise of the fourth member of this group - the fourth will be worth "3 points". Given that Unicron is stated as being 2 points, and Convoy is 4 points, whoever the last member of the group is must be somewhere between the two in terms of cost? We'll have the answer soon - according to Masabon, the last member of the campaign will be revealed in the manual that comes with Masterpiece Convoy Sleep Mode.

It's been a long time coming, but it is finally here! Today we are proud to announce the launch of our comprehensive
Japanese Transformers category! Yes, the
TFW2005 Transformers Resources section is no longer limited to just the American Transformers series! Now our resources coverage is expanded to every major Japanese Transformers line as well - from the Japanese only toys released as a part of Takara's
Headmasters series in 1987, to the brand new, current Takara-Tomy
Transformers Animated releases. We have sections dedicated to the
Binaltechs and
Masterpieces. The various Japanese Beast Wars series are all also represented, as is the series that got it all started for us 10 years ago -
Transformers Car Robots.
