HobbyStock have posted more images from Tokyo Toy Show 2011. Most we've already seen, but these provide better looks at figures such as Takara's Deluxe Vortex and HA Basic Dragstrip in shield mode. A few of the more relevant ones are mirrored below, to view them all click here.

What the hells the point of showing the underside of dragstrip, haha, it makes no sense... just show us the car mode with all the kibble tucked away for satan's sake

My Armada figures better be able to hold it then.

Now we need a DOTM Star Saber sword. That would be epic.

thats...thats much worse then.... I forgot about the forced third mode.
Its actually too bad coz I might have actually gotten a few of these new DOTM scouts, if they didn't look so huge compared to their biped rider... thats the biggest offput that keeps me from gettin em.

ya.. i a will pass, on all of them actually.
the only one i liked was whirl and i like the black and gold coloring of tomahawk better.

Ditto. Still prefer tomahawk over Vortex.

Same here. It's nice they gave him a new head/weapon, and it's a G1 homage, but it's so boring. If the head had matched G1 Vortex a little more yeah I'd go for it, but yeah, bland.

I think the mold would have worked better homaging Spinister(who technically has a movie figure though), or Armada Cyclonus.

Vortex looks so awesome! Too bad he'll probably be way too expensive for me. Hopefully Hasbro will release something like that over here.

That motorcycle lookes petty sick in bot mode. I love how the motorocycle figures have been getting more and more complex the last few years. Who is that supposed to be then?

Still can't believe I missed the preorder for Vortex...

Please bring him over, Hasbro.

Just want Vortex, careless about the rest.
