Thanks to FullMetalHero we have the first images of upcoming Transformers figures that are on display at the Tokyo Toy Show; albeit small and fuzzy, better pictures will undoubtedly show up over time. In the pictures we can see several new figures. What can be seen are
--Gaia Unicron
--Black Optimus Prime (unknown if he's bearing Autobot or Decepticon logos at this time
--Voyager Ultra Magnus
--Voyager Thundertron, first shown at Hasbro's BotCon 2012 Presentation
--Shockwave
--Breakdown in M.E.C.H. colours
--Swerve
and many more. Keep checking this news story as it will be updated over time when better images are taken.

Pictures are taken of figures where there are clearly signs that say pictures should not be taken... nice.

Anyways I'm interested to see more of that Magnus and Shockwave.

[gavinfuzzy]

Wait, which one is Thundertron? Seems like the Breakdown mold is getting milked too... Swerve and a MECH Breakdown... Missed the MECH one on 1st glance.

I loled when I noticed the no photos sign in the pix..

I look forward to seeing more of these figs soon..

[RAcast]

Ah, this is great! And Voyger UM? Sweet!

Thundertron is the Lion figure, only shown during the BotCon slide show. IIRC it'll have a blue and white colourscheme.

[Trikeboy]

Are we getting a new Knockout? Look at the prototype next to Ultra Magnus.

[GuyIncognito]

It all looks like good stuff (wish the pictures was better) but the lion mold (Leo? Thundertron? whatever!) is the most exciting to me.

I could have sworn someone said Thundertron was a Dreadwing repaint...

that shockwave looks to be the FoC shockwave.

The picture in front of it pretty much confirms that.

[MGrotusque]

I would VERY much like to see some more pics of Thundertron! Looks quite promising.

[Dead Metal]

So it looks like Takara will simply release the FOC figures under Prime?
Or is that a hint at Shockwave keeping his WFC/FOC desing for Prime?

I guess the Nemesis Prime is the Mech controlled one, also now we know that Mech will be repainting Breakdowns body black, they seem to have a thing for black.

[WolfDawg]

Pretty cool that Shockwave is based on his FOC design. I'm really interested in Shockwave, Magnus, and Thundertron. The others are pretty meh IMO. That Nemesis Prime doesn't even look like Nemesis Prime to me...where's the teal highlights? Gia Unicron is too short for my liking.

Oh, and I hope we get a look at the Jet Vehicon as well as a possible Miner Vehicon.

Probably only Shockwave in the AM line. But of all FOC figures, why Shockwave?
Wikipedia previously stated that Episode 42 would involve Shockwave... The article is removed now.

[Godzillabot Primal]

OH HELL YEAH!

EPIC! Now where is that Supreme class FOC Metroplex?

Yea, what were they thinking, they should have edited out that sign before posting them

[WolfDawg]

Just looked at the pics a second time. That red Breakdown repaint... That's Swerve, right?

Man, isn't it weird that Takara already has painted prototypes of THREE different versions of the Breakdown mold but Hasbro has yet to give any info on just one?

[YoungPrime]

You guys seriously need to clarify.

Not everyone is psyched about those Prime figures and there's two UM's releasing.

Guess that explains and forgives why the pics are not of very good quality.

[Doubledealer93]

ok, is breakdown going to be a takara exclusive or what?

[kirbenvost]

Wow. I really hope these come to the US.

Nemesis Prime looks pretty decent from this small pic, and it would actually be a good excuse for me to pick up a version of that mold. However, I have my doubts about it ever coming to NA, because we always seem to get screwed on Nemesis Prime repaints.

Unicron, hard to tell from the pic, but a probable buy so far since I collect Unicrons. The color looks good.

Breakdown repaint I will only buy if I can't get Breakdown.

Ultra Magnus, HECK YEAH I CAN DEAL WITH THAT.

Tigertron is an interesting surprise. Not certain, but he looks interesting and I would like to see more pics. I'm sold on the alt mode but unsure about the bot mode.

I think that's Thundertron, not Tigertron, Steeljaw or Leobreaker

The yellow spikes and claws on his armor and the leonine face in the center of his torso may indicate a beast mode.

Take this with a grain of salt, (It's from the wiki) remember though that the panel for upcoming toys confirmed a Thundertron and that he had a beast mode

Gosh, I'm beginning to sound like Sabrblade

[Midnight_Fox]

I do hope we're getting Lion-otron here in North America. Wouldn't be surprised since he was shown at a NA show.
