Via the Planet Iacon Facebook page we have the Transformers related scans form the latest issue of Figure King magazine. Quite a bit of interesting material in the images mirrored below including our first look at the Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive Masterpiece Bluesteak and never seen before transforming Bearbrick Optimus Prime!

• Kubrick Transforming Bearbrick Optimus Prime Prototype
• Additional Images of Masterpieces MP-21 Bumblebee and MP-22 Ultra Magnus
• Transformers: Last Age Movie Advanced AD-16 Dino and AD-17 Darkside Soundwave
• Tokyo Toy Show Exclusive Masterpiece Bluestreak
• Kotobukiya D-Style Optimus Prime Model Kit Prototype
• Fewture by ArtStorm EX Gokin Optimus Prime and Grimlock and Unicron head

Bearbrick X Transformers Optimus Prime - I'm not bothered by it, but it is a silly idea.

Magnus's accessories - Adult Spike and Daniel

Tokyo Toy Show "Silverstreak" - disappointing, but fans of the original toy's deco might enjoy it.

D-Style Optimus Prime - eh, whatever. Not for me. *shrug*

Fewture by Artstorm stuff - the EX Gokin figures look nice, but HOLY COW that Unicron head!!!

Whoa the Kotobukiya D-Style Optimus Prime Model Kit looks like its articulated and transforms? WTH? I thought Kotobukiya only does statues (awesome statues)

Also must get that Bearbrick Optimus Prime in black. =X

Confused by the pics. Is the final Streak going to be solid silver like the original toy? Can't see any difference in the bot mode pic, but the car looks to have a silver hood. (???)

It's based on the deco of the original toy instead of the cartoon.

So who wants the D (style Optimus)?

I'll be holding my breath for a blue version. With the release of Tigertrack, I'll be surprised if they don't eventually do one.

Nice, Spike and Daniel can fit in Magnus' cab. Perfect! I'm glad they're making the humans as accessories. I wouldn't normally buy them individually but this way I feel like they're important accessories.

Wow my eyes must be going, I can't see the difference between this and the original MP Bluestreak

It's all in the hood and the kind of silver used. It's easy to miss.

20 years from now, Microman Spike is going to be worth more than Bumblebee.

After all those years... Magnus still can't open the Matrix.

I still think that robot mode Streak is the normal one... and that the car mode is the only one showing a change.

An Optimus Bear... an Optimus Pen... can't wait for an Optimus Cod Piece...

If they're doing a toy deco Bluestreak, I can only hope they'll do a show deco Wheeljack...especially since repaints of the mold you'd think would be limited. As great as Wheeljack looks, and despite having two on order, I'd rather have a show accurate version.

I'd like that, too. Given, Hasbro is probably on the way with a number of these in their own decos. At least that's one more chance.

For Wheeljack, I'm praying for a Marlboor and Slicer repaint from him. If they don't do it, I'll take it upon myself to.

Bluestreak looks almost exactly the same to me... all I can see what they did was remove the black from his hood. Am I just that stupid not to notice anything else?

It may just be the lighting, but the silver seems to be darker too.

Didn't Marlboor have a different head?

Oh yeah. An awesome head.

I could see them doing a SLIGHTLY different head for Slicer, too. (Like they've done for Bluestreak, etc.) Maybe base it more on his Action Master.

WTF - This version of Bluestreak comes with two show accurate missile launchers? That's crap! Those missile launchers should have came with first version.

They're toy-accurate, in both design and color. Nice bonus.

Either way, they are better then his attached mailing tubes they call missile launchers.

mailing tubes = hilarious

for wheeljack, i'm hoping they do a simplified cartoon accurate deco.. the real world vehicle is cool, and i'll get it, but i hope they repaint him somewhere down the road.
