You would want Flywheels to be an exclusive straight repaint of Blitzwing?


Because these and those Street Fighter figures are not "replacing" any possible main Transformer figure their exclusives made in small amounts in addition to the main line.

The only reason the Street Fighter ones are being made is because it's their 30th anniversary.

Plus Takara has already released the head as a separate thing, if he was being made it would have happened by now.

Well if Funpub cant make it, somebodys gotta do it. Especially since the official head actually exists. Im considering buying the M. Bison set just to use him as a stand in for Flywheels. Thats unless Hasbro suprises us with a POTP Flywheels to go with their leaked Battletrap that we know is coming. Also, I crap on the term "exclusive". This is the age of internet shopping and the only thing exclusive about any of these niche repaints is the price. If you want em bad enough they can be shipped to your front door for a price.

If you want em badly enough, you can commission someone in the Transtopia forums to make you one for a price.

Upon first viewing I thought that this was a Creative Round-up post until I saw the title.
Just imagine them stare at you while you're sleep. [Shivers in discontent]

The first time I saw these my mind immediately thought "Robot Statler and Waldorf".

And thats exactly what I would have told the guy who actually wants a cerebros to homage the Japanese Cheech and Chong...

But Im not a big fan of painted customs that start to chip if you touch them. I could care less if it was a KO, as long as the plastic is the actual colors of Flywheels.

"Exclusive" means "what company gets the lions share of the rights to sell it." thats the difference.

Pretty sure Flywheels got leaked too. I want to say the leak was actually for "Flytrap" and "Battlewheel" and they came with each other's pantsso you would be "forced" to buy both (even though 98% of us already would) but I coukd be mistaken

It was "Roadtrap" and "Battle Slash" nothing for Flywheels was leaked.

EW...no

That would be the corporate definition of "exclusive". But since were not suits I would argue that the collector definition is same mold made in the same factory sold for a different price.

I wish you were right about flywheels, but no leak. But after we got the clones plus a kickback to complete the insecticons, I believe we will see a Flywheels. But it still would be nice to complete the Botcon duocon team as well.

I'd be afraid to sleep in the same room with that. Might murder me in my sleep.

No matter how you cut the "exclusivity" cake, the exclusive venue in question will always be the first in line to sell these items, either directly to its Japanese customers, or to Japan-based resellers (aka the "middle men") and from there on to sellers outside of the country. That's all there is to it.

Back to the... Ugh, I don't know what the names are. My best guesses are:

Line name: Gaki no Tsukai X Transformers
Blonde Hair: Matsumoto Robo ~Guchirimasu/Guchirimus~
Brown Hair: Hamada Robo ~Donarimase/Donarimus~

Feel free to correct me on this.

These look like someone made Fort Max into a Shin Megami Tensei villain.

Laserbeak and Buzzsaw gimmick infringement!

If they're going to put silly faces on them, they might as well make them transform into trainers / sneakers and be done with it!

O, what about a Popsicle?

With the Tokyo Comic Con in full swing, we have some new images to share with you courtesy of Twitter users Masabon2011 and 7777_diver. These new floor image show off the new "Fortress Maximus" face, as well as the robot mode for "Cerebros" and the smaller "Fortress" heads. Show lighting is not the best, so you can compare these images to the official ones seen previously. Also of note are the pictures showing the inspiration for the new faces, ridiculous and hilarious as they are.

Check out the new images below, and let us know what you think of these Japanese comedians coming to life in new and interesting ways! And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your latest Transformers news and galleries!

So the box give me a cheech and chong vibe. Is that similar to who these two guys are in Japan?

Fortress is the big robot who transforms into Fort Max's head. Cerebros is the tiny robot who forms Fortress's head.

In Japan, of course.

I think you just found my spirit animal!

To all those Titan Master completionists, there are still two out there. They are part of the Transformers & Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! Crossover, and part of a set that includes a Cerebros/Fortress retool. The two Titan Masters that come with it, Donarimasu and Guchirimasu, are made to resemble the stars of the show Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! (which means “Downtown’s This Is No Task for Kids!”) in their scientist roles. This was a mail order exclusive in Japan, and the offer was only given to those who ordered a DVD of the show. The sets are coming in and we now have in hand images, which gives us our first look at the packaging. The images come to us from twitter users @akahukutoorimon and @INCHIKIBANCYO
The images also show us how the retooled head looks like on Legends Grand Maximus.
You can also click the following link to see a video of the sounds the head makes.

Pffffffffffft

yeah... still ugly looking...

Is it my imagination or are those last two images exactly the same?

Well they certainly have unique appearance don't they though I can just hear the call of "Pretendaa" in the photo with the tf and the more realistic figure.

Hahaha!
