The Energon Pub

Thanks to Seibertron.com member daimchoc for letting us know that the Cybergundam Blog has posted an image from the latest issue of Figure Oh! magazine featuring several Takara Transformers figures. We finally get to see the Arms Micron capsule figures in color! Also on the page the highly anticipate Million Publishing Transformers Generations 2012 exclusive Artfire and a concept sketch of Masterpiece Lambor.

So Gob and Zad will be either pink or charcoal grey? Surprise.

Neat! I wonder if the Optimus and Bumblebee minicons will have alternate color schemes too.

MakeToys Giant Preordered and looking foward to Masterpiece Lambor!!!.
Lambor is going to really change the scope of asthetics and looks to be dead on with his G1 Cartoon counterpart....... Giant's look matches FP Bruticus on an uncanny basis hmmmm curious..these two will look SICK together!!! Can't wait for Giant to be in the same display case!

oooo the optimus blaster and bumblebee sword maybe

Yeah, big surprise. Did not see that one coming.

Looks more like a halfway compromise between the cartoon models of both Sideswipe and Red Alert (so that both can be given the MP treatment).

Next question: which one will be pink and which one grey in my collection?

And with Artfire looking good I'm on the bandwagon for both him and Stepper. Hopefully I can find the latter cheap.

Minicon Optimus and Bumblebee look great. xD

if those are the official names, I am looking forward to them regardless of colour. I would prefer a black snake and a pink gecko, but either/or is fine. I'm really hoping that since I have 5 of these coming I might get two of Gob or Zad, and not the likely scenario of 2 BBs. Hell, I might just get all Bees. Which, if I do will a)suck a fat one, and b)maybe force me to customise some.

They look decent. I ordered these back in January... hope they come with their own sticker sets.

Also, I hope my snake is pink. Pink snakes are awesome.

They are, yes. Though, note that Gob is pronounced like "Gohb" (like the word "go" but with a "B" sound on the end), and Zad like "Zahd" (like the Superman villain General Zod).

They're in fast puns on the animals they transform into:

- Gob (Japanese: ゴブ Gobu) is derived from "cobra" (Japanese: コブラ Kobura)
- Zad (Japanese: ザド Zado) is derived from "lizard" (Japanese: リザード rizādo)

Woot cant wait for MP-12 Lambor !!! Will buy him on sight if he looks as awesome as MP-10 and MP-11 . Right now the only thing that could make me pass on him is his size/price.

1)HA scale - 140 USD and below
2)MP-11 scale - 160 USD and below

If he's the same size as MP-10 Imma pass. I dont want Sideswipe to be as big as Optimus >.>...

Agreed. I'd be okay if he was even a super-complex deluxe-sized figure.

Though weren't every MP's bot modes gonna be in scale from MP-10 on?

That was my understanding.
