Several new Transformers have been released in Japan. Henkei Seibertron Streak (Silver Streak), Lambor (Sideswipe), and Octane. Like the previous Henkei figures, these three feature chrome painted parts. Expect online retailers to have them in stock soon.

Also of note - several Marvel Crossovers figures were released in Japan today as well: Grey Hulk, Human Torch, Black Spiderman, and Wolverine. These figures have been released directly by Hasbro and do not show any change in paint scheme or box art. So don’t expect a special Japanese repaint version.

I like the packaging, but I'm passing on all the Henkei except Rachet since he isn't scheduled for a US release.

Their character artwork is so much better than the domestic ones.

Their so mine. I can't wait to have them all. :grin:

The artwork's, but otherwise, I'm not a fan.

Curiously, I bought the Voyagers Heavy Load and Blaster from the Classics line, and they've been lucky enough to not have mouths.

It's Cybertron Streak, not Seibertron Streak. Seibertron's the planet, Cybertron is Autobot

I'm still surprised with the necessity of the "Cybertron" and "Destron" prefixes....

I always thought "Seibertron" is just this Website's name. While "Cybertron" is both the Planet and the Faction.
