Interview With Takara Tomy designer Onishi Wataru

Postby Autobot032 » Thu Sep 18, 2014 10:08 pm

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
Takara Tomy designer Onishi Wataru is the wizard behind the curtain responsible for the following Transformers figures:

-Age Of Extinction Drift
-Generations Legends Class Starscream (and the repaint Acid Storm)
-And the upcoming (and previously reported) Generations Voyager Class Brainstorm

He's currently the focus of an article over at nicovideo.jp (courtesy of nicovideo member Daily Planet Development Committee), the interview, which you can read in detail, here, features new images of Brainstorm, plus a design sheet on Drift! The main focus, however, is Mr. Wataru's contributions to the Transformers various lines and a bit of insight into his design process.

We've mirrored the images below:
