Fellow Seibertronians Cyberpath and Autobot Genocide shared the news from takaratomymall.com, and the page includes release info, including the 7992 Yen price (approx $66 USD) and plenty of images, showing off the new Diaclone-tweaked deco and Autobot symbol, piledrivers and guns - check them out mirrored below (with apologies for the size of some of them)!
More Bots. More News. More Awesome.

Oh, why the hell not. I already have about 5 of the Fairlady mold.

He looks good but I would have preferred him being a Decepticon like Exhaust. We barely have any MP Decepticons whereas we're drowning in Autobots.

Oh hell, they are going to make me buy a fifth version of this mold. I suspect that Deep Cover might come sometime in the future if this one does well.

Those colors make him look like a cheap Mexican knock-off. I'm surprised he doesn't come packaged with Superman, Spider-Man and Zorro together on a blister card that says "SPADERMAN & FRIENDS".

This would make a fantastic complement to the 3rd party Sunstreaker - should it get a Police car deco I'd love to have both ; I wish they'd release that Sunstreaker cop car sometime and give it a retrospective Transformers Identity - but then we still don't have a Sunstreaker G1 reissue yet either.
I'm pleased to see an MP Clamp Down as I like the alt mode look more than I do Red Alert's colours.

Clamp Down is a preexisting character, guys. He and his brother Deep Cover were e-HOBBY exclusives and members of the Interplanetary Personnel Exchange Program. The two have been Autobots since 2003, which was over a decade ago.


It wouldn't make sense to suddenly change them into Decepticons.

Lamborghini Countach, and it won't be the last, trust me. Since Clamp Down is based on an e-Hobby release, as mentioned before, an MP-12D Deep Cover is lurking just around the corner
By the by, those e-Hobby-based extra characters must be selling quite well for TakaraTomy to keep churning them out.

Just to clarify, I know that Clampdown is a Lamborghini Countach. I meant that I already have 5 of the Nissan Fairlady mold (Prowl etc) so I might as well get multiples of this one too. Thought I would make it clear that I am not an idiot........

I was hoping they would do this! Didn't think it would be so soon.
The only Lambor I had as a kid was this Diaclone that I picked up at a comic shop in the 80's. He wasn't even called Clampdown yet.
Look close and you can see how well "loved" he is.

Needless to say this is a must have for me!

Yay! Another chance for me to get the Lambor mold! I haven't gotten it yet because, well, all I can find are knockoffs.

People question my system.
My system never fails, unless it does. But then I just cover it up.

Well I don't mind the ehobby/diaclone autobots getting released as long as Detritus from the Hound mould is marketed as a Decepticon I'm happy.
