Appears so. Hasn't there been a rumor flying around about a new Fort Max release?

Indeed there is. It was mentioned a couple weeks back, actually. A spokesperson for TakaraTomy said they were looking into a possible reissue.

I think the monitor on the Matrix might just be showing all the Autobot leaders, since that's what the images on the sides are showing, why Ironhide's there though, and in that cartooney art style, is beyond me. :-?

Good eye, bud. I like the display there. Also pretty happy to see Fort Max come back into the public eye. Hopefully the reissue rumors finally pan out.

He certainly looks like Ironhide, but....

My Japanese is probably getting rusty, but why does it say, "Nagoya Prime?"

Because that's the name, Nagoya Prime. Can't make heads or tails of the kanji however, but he is indeed a Commander (Shireikan). After some wiki'ing (which you all should do more often), it seems he's the mascot of the city of Nogaya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The Arms Micron version uses the Deluxe mold, not the Voyager one.

Those are interesting and seem to be mostly new characters. Tiger stripe Ratchet, whatever he is, looks pretty striking. Neat stuff. I wonder what the deal is with those. New manga maybe?

Like I said before, mascots of certain Japanese cities, according to TFWiki. The ones added are:

- Akiba Prime (for Akihabara, often shortened to Akiba)
- Kawasaki Prime (for Kawasaki, 3 different towns, most likely one being Kawasaki, Kanawaga Prefecture)
- Tachikawa (for Tachikawa)
- Umeda Prime (for Umeda)

All are Primes for the "Cybertron Satellite" promotion. All are mascots for each location of Japan they represent. They are all designed after previous characters, but are not those same characters they each resemble.
