Courtesy of the facebook page of Autobase Aichi, we have images of a recent display at a Bic Camera store in Nagoya, Japan. A testshot of the upcoming Encore 23 Fortress Maximus was on display, along with his controversial God Sword; likely solidifying it's inclusion in the reissue. In Masterpiece news, there were colored test shots of Encore Frenzy/Rumble and Ravage. The elusive Lucky Draw FE Prime Arcee made an appearance too! In other Prime news, AM-27 to 29 were on display. Lastly, the Takara version of the FoC Generation cassettes were on display as well.

Ravage looks awesome.
Rumble/Frenzy not so much. Their transformation looks identical to their G1 counterparts.

And no bicep swivel


Great posing there. They put a lot of thought into this part of the display.

The ball-jointed shoulders should give some swivel. Not much, but some.

Exactly.

Is it me, or does MP Ravages head look like it's upside down on that prototype? Otherwise, I'm seriously liking that Leo Convoy.

well i do believe soundwave will be a fully functional MP3 player, ive seen other speculate it is for added detail... but realistically those part didnt exist so why would they add card reader slots and stuff... i guess those speculating it is for detail didnt grow up in the 80s and wouldnt know that didnt exist. so again i think we may be getting some sort of music functionality... though i think it is a waste... who the hell would walk around with that?

you act like it is a bad thing? seriously then you do better. i dont care how a figure transforms, i only care that in both modes they look like they should... so if the transformation works, why over-complicate it?

I want those test shots!

maximus is a big bag of want : (((( even in those colour he looks good.. kinda reminds me of my action master megatron lol

soundwave... not sure about.. i'm very happy with the g1 incarnation, who i consider the best representation of his cartoon counterpart from that era. Then again I thought highly of g1 grimlock and got the mp anyways. Would've preferred if they included all the mp cassettes with soundwave. Also, classics ravage is pretty good.

i'm wondering if maximus will cannibalise other sales with collectors making an effort to afford him at the expense of buying other toys...
