Ugh, these will be expensive to get.

It's always annoying when these things are 'free' in Japan.

The name of this one is "Temenos Sword Present Campaign".

I consider $25 expensive, when the Japanese fans get to buy $25 worth of stuff and then get this for free.

Oh well. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Honestly can't complain too badly; us North American fans have it pretty good compared to some other parts of the world.

This seems late to the party... Considering how many variations of this sword we have already form Hasbro & Takara... Not to mention 3rd Party version...

At $25.00 I would simply go make myself one and print it via Sculpteo or another printer...

"There can be only one"....sorry it just popped into mind.

Anyway this does look cool and I may have to keep my eyes out for one...'nuff said! :VEHI:

That is exactly the same sculpt for this special edition Terminos sword as the new one that comes with AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime, correct? Well, at least there is a relatively easy way to get a non-orange official version of the sword without resorting to customizing it yourself.

I LOVE my AD-31 Op, but those bright orange weapons are gaudy as hell. Maybe it was done on purpose to sell those weapons. Sigh... and I'm one of those sucker who will have to hunt them down.

Seibertron.com sponsor Robotkingdom has posted new images of the Amazon Japan exclusive Camo Hound figure and AoE Blu-ray combo pack. The film is unedited and is the same as the version that can be obtained in 3D/BD/DVD/Digital Copy release here in the states, but the Hound figure is quite possibly the most film accurate figure release yet.

Sporting a new darker camo design, both in terms of paint apps and plastic color, this Hound will be highly coveted by collectors driven by accuracy, but with the set being a limited release of 3000 pieces and a Japan only release, chances are he's going to be rather difficult to obtain, as well as costly. The set's current pricing is $108.00 USD! You can see the Amazon.jp ordering page by clicking here.

If you do happen to get one, please share some images with us so we can all enjoy this rather rare exclusive. Speaking of sharing images, we've mirrored Robotkingdom's pictorial below:

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

I actually think the Dr. Wu sword looks better than this. Has that nice orange glow to it that makes the sword looks heated. But I probably will spend money to get that sword since it looks cool when you pose him to look like that scene "Today you stand with us or... you stand against me..."

However if they blow up to be 50$ for it, not gonna happen. You'd pretty much be paying for their transformers at that point.

All you need to do is give him a red deco and an ironhide head, and Kapow! IDW-esque Ironhide.

Hope Hasbro or the Club does that one day...

The Club isn't allowed to use on-screen movie designs since they're partially owned by Paramount. Toy-only designs like Skyhammer are alright, though.

This image looks like a much darker green than the previous promotional image. This set is scheduled for release December 10.

Dont know about you guys, but I am really not fond of the deco we got with the standars hasbro release of Hound. The autobot 5 pack and this version are far too expensive for me so I chose the reprolabel alternative. I actually think it works really well as a cheap alternative. Here is what it looks like:

i have the AU hound, and am quite satisfied. but if i were a little more hardcore with the movie figures, and he were a little less expensive, id bite.

Don't be shy about bragging to us all if you find something! My AD-31 Prime should be arriving from TFSource this afternoon! I can't wait to get him a "proper" sword to go with this lovingly retooled and redecoed figure!

Not yet. Looks to be a Japanese store exclusive. Us Americans will likely have to resort to eBay.

Previous store exclusives of this kind have shown up on (and some are still available at) such places as BBTS and TFSource. We just have to wait and see and hope that these places get this sword as well.
