Tokyo Toy Show 2012 - First images of Voyager Ultra Magnus, Thundertron, Gaia Unicron and more!

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.

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..

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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

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

Er...yeah, that guy. I don't care what his name is, he just looks potentially cool. So he's a new character from the Prime universe? As long as they're more cybernetic beast than actual beast, I'm okay with best modes.

I wish the pics were better but better than nothing I suppose. Could that be the Hasbro or Takara Shockwave we see there?

The lion looks awsome can't wait to see some paint and a close up on him , what line is he from ?.

Ultra Magnus looks cool and shockwave looks very small.

Thundertron: Hoping he was a jet, but I honestly don't care. As long as he doesn't have a crappy paint job. I probably jinxed that, and he's gonna have a crappy paint job. You're welcome -.-

Ultra Magnus: ....................................................
YES!!!!!!!!!! FRICKEN YES!!!! He'll totally go with the other Wreckers, not to mention with Kup, Arcee, and Hot Shot (I guess, if you want to consider him Hot Rod), they're setting up a good 1986 movie collection in Prime. We just need a Springer.

MECH Breakdown: Yeah, that's cool. The original Breakdown dominates all his repaints for me.

Swerve: Nice representation of a classic G1 character, but I don't think anyone named "Swerve" should be an armored truck. If he got his own mold down in the deluxe class (I would've also been happy with a Gears repaint ), maybe I would grab him. I think I'll pass on him unless I for some reason can't buy Breakdown -_-

Unicron: :O Gimmie Dat, n00b!!!!

Nemesis Prime: I can predict the future! Watch this; Japan Exclusive! The end! (I sitll like that figure though. eBay will be my personal friend if these don't hit the US)

That's Thundertron, he's the leader of the space pirates from Exodus. (Aligned continuity)

In all fairness, "Hot Shot" is Hot Rod/Rodimus. He was renamed for the sake of copyright.

RAcast wrote:In all fairness, "Hot Shot" is Hot Rod/Rodimus. He was renamed for the sake of copyright.

While the copyright element obviously determined the decision to use Hot Shot instead of Hot Rod, the fact that the Classics Universe line included both a Rodimus and a Hot Shot, each in its own mold, strongly suggests that they are in fact two distinct characters who merely shape a personality type.


Also, the TF Energon cartoon and toyline both featured Rodimus and Hot Shot as completely separate individuals.

I mean only for the Aligned/Prime continuity. In each other continuity, they're different characters.

I'm aware. But not everyone likes that idea, so that's why I said "if you want to consider him Hot Rod"

Is there any art work of Thundertron kickin about can't seem to find any.

Ultra Magnus is NOT an repaint of Optimus

Man they look kick-a$$

My thoughts exactly! Thank you Takara.

We already knew that though, from the Cyberverse figure.

YESYESYESYESYES!!!! Hasbro you better!

What's the pink/purple thing next to optimus in the first pic? looks like a megatron repaint maybe???

Nemesis Prime in the show is actually colored closer to Shattered Glass OP. It's kinda hard to tell, but NP's upper body is a reddish purple. My opinion could be off, but he's certainly not the typical black.

We have another image from the International Tokyo Toy Show courtesy of TFClub. In this image clockwise from upper left:

• AM-20 Ironhide
• AM-19 Gaia Unicron
• AM-18 Airrachnid
• AM-13 Decepticon Knockout
• AM-16 Vehicon Jet
• AM-12 Decepticon Breakdown
• AM-14 Decepticon Vehicon
• AM-09 Soundwave
• AM-07 Starscream
• AM-15 Darkness Megatron

Unicron's skeletal wings and giant horns are wicked! Do we know what his alt mode is going to look like?

Does Ironhide only have one cannon? it'll be dissapointing if he does...
Excited for the jet vehicon (love how his chest is identical to steve's) and of course Breakdown <3
Altogether now- HASBRO PLEASE!

GuyIncognito wrote:Unicron's skeletal wings and giant horns are wicked! Do we know what his alt mode is going to look like?

It is supposed to be a space barge of some kind. Kinda looks like the ships from the John Carter film.

I hope somebody can take a good pic of the cardboard cutout behind him though. Could it be he can combine with Optimus?

GuyIncognito wrote:Unicron's skeletal wings and giant horns are wicked! Do we know what his alt mode is going to look like?

A gigantic Rock Lord

Seriously though, Medic Knock Out and Megatron Darkness I'm skipping since I have the Hasbro versions, and I'll wait on War Breakdown. Hades does look wicked as a cape.

And it looks like Jet Vehicon has the same Micron as the regular Vehicon, Noji. Surprise, surprise.

Yes, this is a cool Unicron. But I still have to say I'd trade it and a Ben Franklin that unreleased BWNeo Unicron instead.

Really looking forward to replacing my Classics Ironhide with this new better looking one.

Jet Vehicon looks awesome and will definitely buy online. (sad that I do most shopping online anymore.)

Thundertron is bough as well as Breakdown in MECH colors. That just looks so badass!!

The rest I will wait to see more if I need them or not.

That's AM Voyager Megs.

Godzillabot Primal wrote:I hope somebody can take a good pic of the cardboard cutout behind him though. Could it be he can combine with Optimus?

Yeah, in the original picture of Unicron, we saw him "combined" with OP...somehow. It was surmised at the time that Unicron turns into some sort of turret/armor thing.

Whaaaa. Boney Unicron merged with Prime? It would take a miracle to make that look good! Not to mention that's like making a Starscream or Megatron and Prime combiner. Like, when would those two even hang out?

Ok, haven't seen anyone mention this:


Who's that?

HASBRO PLEASE!

Va'al wrote:Ok, haven't seen anyone mention this:

We've been talking about him the whole time. That's Thundertron, the leader of the pirate faction.
