ToyWorld has posted scans from the April 2011 edition of Figure King magazine. The main focus is on the upcoming Takara DOTM figures, but we also see the Kabaya Gaia Cross set and some comparison shots between United Wreck-Gar, Kup, Blurr, G2 Optimus Prime, Perceptor, and their Hasbro counterparts. The pages with Transformer related content have been mirrored below.

Man...I'm really liking that Takara DOTM Optimus. I'm hoping it ends up in my budget.

The Kabaya set isn't Landcross, it's Gaia Cross. They both use the same principle in combining though.

I see you managed to catch that before my edit went through. (Shakes fist at JelZe)

I'm just that fast I guess

Of the DSM (Darkside Moon) figures my only pick is Voyager Prime with the Trailer. The rest are all Hasbro.

Same here, I'm a sucker for Primes with trailers.

So are these Dual Model figures similar to the Trans-Scanning figures that came out a few years ago?

WHAT!? Takara Prime is the only one with the trailer that is not Ultimate Prime!? WHY!? :-(

The comparisons with the RTS and United really makes a difference! Still might not get any, but still. A big difference.

As an avid Master Grade Gundam builder, I salivate at those model kits. Still, my personal dogma of "if it don't transform, I let it shelfwarm" keeps my credit card safely tucked.

I really hope a 3rd party company does an Alpha Trion head for Sentinal Prime.
