Thanks so much for posting this pic El, it looks so awesome. It's gonna be the next best thing to owning an actual G1 Fort Max for this fan...until that some day you know...?

So does anyone know is this gonna be close to voyager size?

[BeastProwl]

How much does fort max cost? I've decided I want him.

Courtesy of mobile_nippa we have images of MP-13 Soundwave and minions Laserbeak, Ravage, and Rumble/Frenzy from Takara's presentation at the 2012 International Tokyo Toy Show.

Damnit, I need me some vehicons. Anyone want a loose RID Ratchet for an RID vehicon?... camoooonnnn

[Flux Convoy]

I don't think I have ever more been more impressed with Laserbeak or Rumble as toys. Soundwave looks fantastic as well. Ravage, man he seems to be difficult to get, "just right". I like what I see so far though. I gladly made a preorder this morning. Kabaya Fort Max is tempting me as well.

MP-13..Takara/hasbro...your doing it right...

I'm sure with Ravage posed properly, he'll look really cool. Soundwave is easily going to be one of the best masterpieces to date.

Is it just me or does the Jet Vehicon look like a flying car? I was actually hoping for a sweet jet mode, due to the car vehicon being pretty decent.

I love the fact that it looks like a car (pretty much does in the show too). Makes me think a bit of 'The Fifth Element'. I need it in my collection.

I know I'm probably late to the party on this, but Jet Vehicon is just a regular Vehicon after drinking a red bull? That's not right.

[Skywarp64]

IS THAT... A KABAYA FORT MAX?

Just like in the show.
Man Jet Vehicon looks like a total badass.


Also, I'm loving the MP line more with every new reveal.

I found this image over in mobile_nippa's gallery page:

MP13 and his cassettes are in perfect scale.

[zodconvoy]

So Soundwave will be the same height as Optimus and Starscream and fits G1 tapes!?!?! I f*cking DARE someone to say this isn't perfect now!

Seriously, they hit it over the wall, over the crowd and into the lights with this one. Out-freakin'-standing!

No Ratbat, not perfect. I joke of course, Soundwave looks better and better with every single picture that appears.

Does anyone know what is up with Red Alert here?

Well in robot mode kinda, but not really in vehicle mode.

But he can't be used as a real radio

Holy sh*t, just what I wanted!

I'm not crazy, you're all out to get me!

That's a cartoon reference to Auto Berserk, where he completely looses his mind.

Thanks Dead Metal, I must have missed/forgotten that one.

Have you ever once noticed a station dial on Soundwave? No? That's because he's a tapedeck! Still perfect!

Crazy sparks!

Argh, Black Convoy/Nemesis Prime/whatever. I want it, but will never afford it.

MP Soundwave gets better and better. Seriously impressed with everything about him. I didn't expect the Energon cube to attach to his chest, that's pretty awesome. The minions are looking really great too. Maybe Ravage less so, but he could be posed better.

Jet Vehicon has a bit too much purple, but I still want it. I really hope Hasbro makes all these Japanese reveals happen here also.

Terrorcon Bumblebee, eh... I wish that was an indication that they're killing him off on the show, but alas I'm sure they'd never do that. :p

[Gundamu]

Boy, does that Jet Vehicon look sweet. I hope there's a Hasbro release...
