New editions of Japanese magazines Telebi-kun and Telebi-magazine (TV-kun and TV-magazine) have come out with profiles of Blitzwing and Lugnut and images of Wave 4 of Takara's Animated figures. They also show images from Sega's card-game/arcade-game with what may be an early screenshot of Sunstorm!

Ahahahaha! I love how Jetfire and Jetstorm are doing a 'Wonder Twin Powers COMBINE!' style pose in the one ad.

If that IS Sunstorm in the 4th pic with the games, it's interesting that he looks a LOT more like the darker orange Starscream KO than the official US Target version. Maybe that level of "The Shoot" is more about blowing away random Starscream clones than the 5 introduced in "A Bridge Too Close". If that's the case, it actually makes perfect sense to give expendable imitations of Starscream the appearance of random knock-offs you're encouraged to destroy, doesn't it? I may just have to keep mine as is to represent that guy instead of kitbashing it into Slipstream-

-I mean, destroy it just like in the game! If I actually owned one, which I wouldn't, because I do have the Target Sunstorm and therefore no need for a fake orange Starscream. It's not like I held them side by side to compare to the screencap! Yeah...

This is also the first time we've seen Soundblaster, I think.

Oh yeah, we hadn't seen Soundblaster before! Come to think of it, since "Soundblaster" technically only existed in the Autobots' nightmare/simulation, it's rather strange that he'd somehow make it into the real world to attack Firestorm--I mean Safeguard (same name in Japanese?)

Or maybe this is a scene from a dream the twins are trapped in? That might explain how normal size Skywarp and tiny Activator Thundercracker are able to ambush them simultaneously with their forced-perspective-attack.

We saw Soundblaster in an earlier newspost that showed all of Wave 4. It's a shame he's not the Deluxe version really.
