The big news this past week was the reveal of Masterpiece Shockwave and a new Hot Rod. These were actually part of the 55th All Japan Model & Hobby Show for 2015. There were tons of other Takara products on display and Autobase Aichi was a massive gallery up on facebook. We bring you the highlights below which include:

Q-Transformers Arcee, Ultra Magnus and movie Bumblebee (among others)

The upcoming releases of Transformers Adventures including, TAV Grimlock (at angles we have never seen before along with an in box pic, where he is in robot mode), Supreme Mode Bumblebee, Rumble and Frenzy (also in box), Black Shadow and Origin Drft vs Battle Jazz 2 pack.

Legends Slipstream, Blackarachnia and Nightbird

Diaclone Reboot Dia Battles V2 along with his accessories, seen in colour for the first time.

Enjoy!

There is very little shown here that I would not want.

Looking forward to the RID bots. I'll finally have a proper Drift for the Lost Light shelf, and that Jazz can sub in for his G1 counterpart (yay visor!). I'll be glad to have a Grimlock that will actually scale well with his RID buddies.

That Grimlock looks excellent, I'm definitely getting one! Takara's version of Jazz looks like it has a bit more paint than the Hasbro version, I might see if I can get him too.

You might be understating things just a bit.

Mmmmm, that Grimlock is one sexy looking beast.

I'm hoping a third party will create an add on to fill up Grimlock's belly in Dino mode.

Iron Factory has done this for the original FoC version in both Hasbro retail colors and Platinum edition chrome. Hopefully some of these other colors get done too, it's an excellent kit with 0 partsforming once installed.
