TakaraTomy has updated their Transformers page once again with new listings for Encore & Music Label. Click here to view official pictures of Encore Jazz, which was released last week in Japan.
And click here to see Music Label Optimus Prime (G1 Colors), which will be released later this month. Music Label Optimus Prime's trailer converts into a docking station with speakers for iPod and iPod Nano. He features a new sculpted head, which is based on MP Convoy.

I hope that new Prime head is used on all subsequent rereleases of G1 Optimus Prime/Convoy.

I'm a little confused. Japan is now calling him Optimus Prime? TomTak's main Music Label page lists "Convoy" as the white one, and "Optimus Prime" as the G1 colored one, while the Henkai page seems to list him as "Convoy" (judging by the kana). Of course, for the movie figures, they've used the US terminology, such as "Optimus Prime", Autobots, Decepticons, etc (although they've also gone with "Bamblebee", "Bunblebee" and "DicepticonBarricade" apparently).

That is interesting that they do not use Convoy exclusively as they used to.
Hmmm...

Great, Jazz looks really good, can't wait to receive mine next week! Great work on the Encore line so far. I hope they'll be able to release a Shockwave reissue, now that would be awesome, just like Omega Supreme on June.
By the way, I wish they'll do a Bumblebee Masterpiece sometime...

Megatron: Hmm... a free natural air conditioning system?

Well, considering that they've released two toys that were previously thought unreleasable (Skylynx and Omega Supreme) due to licensing rights, it's definately possible. I really hope Shockwave comes out before the Encore line ends.

Yes, I really hope they'll do it, I'd buy 2
. And I bet it would sell out on the pre-order stage. I'm sure too many people want that one badly.
