This is apparently an April Fool's Joke from earlier this year.

The Planet Iacon facebook page has shared an image that reveals a new upcoming Transformers line from Takara Tomy, K-On Crossovers! Transformers characters that transform into various musical instruments. The image reveals silhouettes of a guitar, bass guitar, drum set, and key board, along with four robots. The text mentions Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet, and Ironhide, but doesn't specify who transformers into what. There will also be an associated anime called Hen-K. Image mirrored below.

These should look great up on the shelf next to Nike Trainer Megatron and Potatoe Head Prime!

Transformers : Musical Instruments In Disguise...

What.

They're transforming accessories for K-ON! called Hen-K!, but you probably knew that already. The print in the boxes showing the silhouettes is too small for me to read properly, and my ability to read Kanji is junk.

Is it text in that picture or with an accompanying (yet unseen) article which revels the names of Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Ironhide?

Because in that picture, I cannot catch a single mention of Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet or Ironhide.

I hope their compatible!

Forgive me for being such a bad toy nerd, but what exactly is K-On? I'm rather inexperienced in the various Japanese toys/figurines/models/etc, other than the Takara Transformers line.

so do they get an instrument instead of a weapon? because I would love to have a prime playing a bass guitar.

Toy geek =/= Anime geek. You're fine.

I kind of hope this means there's going to be a K-On special episode involving transformers, that would be hilarious.

If these are the same scale as the TFA Soundwave guitars, my brain gonna splode from the awesome.

EDIT- I'll say it first: "Autobots, transform and ROCK OUT!!"

Sorry about that

Okay, now that I woke up a bit more after reading this... the concept IS pretty cool. (even if I did drop K-On! with the first episode)

Edit: An April Fool's joke? Kinda missed the point when we didn't get word till much after April...

Oh, that explains why I recognised HftD Brimstone's legs in the drumset. Now that we know it's a fake, it's easy to recognise DotM Legion Bumblebee as the keyboard, RotF Legend Optimus as the guitar and Legion Topspin as the bass

What can I say it's Monday morning.

Not gonna lie man, I'm sad now. With all the G2 stuff of late, I thought they might Be bringing this idea back.
