TakaraTomy has updated their website with two new events that include exclusive Transformers that are not available through Hasbro. Each event has its own rules and release dates. Although these exclusives will be released in Japan, they tend to appear on eBay soon after.


I. Limited Edition Movie Protoforms will be available at:

C3xHobby (Character Hobby 2007) Convention
Location: Tokyo, Makuhari Messe Hall
Date: August 18th & 19th
Time: 10 AM - 5:30 PM

Figures:
Protoform Optimus Prime Fusion Crasta Edition (Clear Blue)
Protoform Starscream Fusion Crasta Edition (Clear Orange)

Description: Two protoform limited editions will be available at the convention. The price of each figure is 3,000 Yen. A few extra figures will be available at e-Hobby through a lottery system following the event.



II. Transformer Prize Giveaway

Location: Tokyo, Shinjuku Plaza Theater
Date: August 4 - August 24th

Description: 100 Mysterious Transformers prizes will be given away to drawing winners. To enter the drawing you must purchase a Transformers program and 5,000 Yen worth of Transformers movie merchandise from the Shinjuku Plaza Theater between August 4 - August 24th. 100 lucky winners will be drawn. We will keep you updated with the prizes.

bad figure, but it'll be good enough to invest in perhaps?

I've seen the clear Proto already and can't help but wonder if some alchohol will take off the orange "entry" burns.

I just gotta say, I like clear figures, proper lighting just realy brings out the sculpting details better than the normal less than spectacular paint aps.

Also, any pics of the other prize bots?

No pictures yet of the other "prize bots". I imagine we won't see anything until August 24th when the contest ends and the lottery is complete.

I think it's not supposed to mean "Fusion Crasta", but rather "Fusion Cluster".

I was never all that impressed with the regular protoform toys. A clear version does nothing for me.

Cool, those clear Protoforms look cool - much nicer than the original versions.

>,< They do look kinda cool, then again, it could just be the lighting... Ah well :/

clear plastic seems to be popular. They both look cool, but for sure will be expensive

Rocklord Prime and Starscream were hardly my favourite ideas for toys, but I'll admit they don't look that bad in their normal colours. Those are quite, quite horrible. Especially Starscream.

I dont mind the robot modes in the clear plastic, Prim e in particular looks nice.
Alt modes are still dealbreakers though.

Bet these will make a pretty penny in a few years time.

They can keep that exclusive...

I don't even think Clear Plastic will help those molds.

Some alchohol may take the 'edge' off looking at these things too! :grin:
