interesting.... under characters they have Scorponok listed. Could it be a sign? All of the other characters they have listed were reissued in the past.

I hope so. Armada Prime kicked ass and never had a proper toy. I can see it now: Uber poseable Prime, Truck mode without giant hands in the back, Articulated trailer with knees for "Super Mode", Extra hands, and finally, removable matrix. That sounds great. =P~

Who cares about Scorponok? I want Fort Max. :grin:

They are finally starting to realize the pull of selling the site to collectors outside of Japan.

Also interesting is that, aside from Soundwave, every one of the other characters listed is going to be in the new movie. And Soundwave *was* going to be the name of the character we now know as "Soundbyte" or "Frenzy" or whatever the heck they've changed it to this week.

Not good. TF Collection is gone. That's about all I wanted out of them.

I agree. From living in Japan, I can tell you that it is a big step for any Japanese company to translate their website (even as simple as this one may be). This is a good indication that Takara is interested in us as a consumer.

I have NO idea how they'd achive it, but I'd buy it in a second, especilly since I have the first two...
