The Hybrid Series page has a load of Armada charecters as it's bg image... could this be a hint as to the next THS toy?

Whose the studd? Is it me?

By the way, I'll try to get the Event Page translated. Looks like Prime is coming on March 18.

PM when/if you get the page translated. I will update the news story.

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.

Who cares about Scorponok? I want Fort Max.

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.

I'm writing this now before I've checked this site English Links, I'm happy.

Now excuse me but I have to go check this all out.

Sadly I got worked up for way to little

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.
