We all know Skyfire was bigger than most autobots back in the G1 show, but do you remember how much he truly towered over everyone? We have some images from the show below for reference to show that this new Siege Jetfire toy is playing for keeps with Hasbro delivering us a bot which is truly in scale. Or is he too big? You'll let us know. The images come from @Chohenken on Twitter where we can see both the robot mode and alt mode. We only see him with his Macross style face though. These were taken at Wonder Festival 2019 Winter in Japan.

Here is the product description as well:

The WFC-S28 JETFIRE figure stands at 11 inches in robot mode and converts into a Cybertronian aircraft. JETFIRE figure comes with 2 JF-25 HS Photon Missile Sky Launchers, 2 HS Photon Missiles, 2 JF-15 HP Jetboost Particle Beam Cannon, 2 SF-M2 Radiograph Boosters, Skyshield Aerial Armor, and Skyshield Battle Mask accessories. Use weapon and armor accessories to convert figure to C.O.M.B.A.T. READY mode. Figure features multiple C.O.M.B.A.T. System weapon ports to attach weapons, enabling custom configurations in bot and vehicle modes. JETFIRE has a special feature where Deluxe figures’ (each sold separately, subject to availability) attach to jet mode so fans can imagine them being deployed into battle from above. Adult fans nostalgic for the original TRANSFORMERS animation and kids discovering classic characters for the first time can share and experience exciting play patterns for all generations.

Update: We have some more pics courtesy of the Snakas Blog.

Wonder Festival 2019 Winter has kicked off to an awe-inspiring start, as TakaraTomy’s booth has provided us with several reveals from several toylines. Most mysterious are two reveals from an ‘unknown series’, Convoy A (presumably Armada Optimus Prime) and Convoy S (presumably Star Convoy)! Courtesy of Chohenken on Twitter, these intriguing figures seem to not be bound to any toyline as of now, though it can be assumed these newcomers belong to Transformers Legends.

Star Convoy appears to be a decent retooling of Power of the Primes Leader Optimus Prime, so make of that what you will. Armada Prime, on the other hand, appears to be a brand new mold based on the original Armada Prime.

Update: We have some more pics courtesy of the Snakas Blog which show that Armada Optimus Prime will combine to have a super mode, since we see fists in the back of his legs. We also get a better idea of the inner Prime for Star Convoy which seems to be simply G1 Convoy/Optimus Prime.























Do these excite you? Do you think well learn more about these mysterious novelties at Toy Fair next weekend? Let us know what you think in the forums below, and be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.

Courtesy of @Chohenken on Twitter, we have images of the new Transformers Masterpiece Bumblebee toy from Japan that was revealed at the Wonder Festival in Japan. This is MP 45 meaning he comes before Hound, who we see in the back in grey. This Bumblebee is seen coming with a gun and an effect accessory. The toy has an MSRP of 13000 Yen (which is $120 USD). The images give a good idea of where the bulk of the alt mode end up since very little of it is used in the main figure's design, unlike the previous Masterpiece toy. We see a lot of the alt mode inside his feet and in his backpack. let us know what you think and this sacrifice is worth the clean front. Also let us know your thoughts on the fake parts which are becoming more and more prevalent with the MP line.

Hot on the heels of MP-45 Bumblebee 2.0's full color reveal at the Japanese toy event, we have news of what is sure to be a highly sought after figure: MP-46, Beast Wars Blackwidow, aka Blackarachnia!

These images comes to us from @Chohenken and @brickonator, on Twitter.

Winter Wonderfesrt is underway in Japan and Takara Tomy is there to present a wide array of products. For starters, their booth has a sign for the now confirmed new Masterpiece Bumblebee. This is said to be MP 45 and will retail for over $100 (13000 Yen). The alt mode is shorter than the real life vehicle to be closer to the cartoon model. The image is blurry since it is a crop of a much larger image provided by Takara. You can see both below. Let us know what you think and keep an eye on our site as we will keep reporting news from this show all week-end long.
