We've seen this one already, but the Takara Tomy website has just been updated with more details about the Movie Advanced Black Knight Strafe - confirming it is part of the Satellite campaign, and therefore available only in certain stores, with a release date of December. Check out the official promo image below!

I say this is the more movie accurate version. He should technically be more gunmetal grey but at least he isn't transparent.

Yea, as much as I like the Platinum versions, the Dinobots were definitely not transparent in the movie...

Finally a Strafe that I like the deco of, but hard to find and probably out of my price range. Hopefully I can get one of these.

I was hoping these would come in more collector-friendly packaging...

Got 'em both on preorder at BBTS. These Black Knight toys are the only movie-accurate Dinobots there are.

Nah they are all pretty much like Hasbro packaging with Japanese. I got the Black Knight Leader Grimlock and it's basically the same as US leader Grimlock packaging.

Dumb question, but takara toys are always only sold in Japan right? No other country in Asia would have it distributed to them?
Re: Takara Tomy Announces New Carnivac Micron Campaign

Some stores in Singapore and Hong Kong carry TakaraTomy stuff I think, but don't count on those Black Knights:
- Strafe is a Cybertron Satellite exclusive
- Scorn is exclusive to Ideon, Kojima, Bic Camera, Best Denki and Yamada Denki
- Slug is exclusive to Joshin Kids' Land and Yodobashi Camera
All of them Japanese stores, while Cybertron Satellite is a stand that makes the rounds there. The only mass-retail Black Knight is Grimlock.

Wow, how do you know all this? That's impressive. And Cybertron Satellite is interesting all on its own (I am trying to wrap my head around it's business model, but then again I still dont get the Takara/Hasbro relationship on a business perspective).
So I am guessing Vietnam wouldnt have any of that stuff then, that's where I am going soon. Too bad there arent any Hasbro asian exclusives out right now (except for MP-10 rerelease, but I already got that covered)

If there's one thing Takara is known for is ACCURACY.
