And if the Optimus Prime Pen doesn't cost too much Japanese Pesos, I am getting that as well.

THe bum flap needs fixing. Also, there's no reason for the post on the top of his gun.
I might look at star saber too even though I have no connection with the japanese series post super god masterforce

For my Ultra Magnus I will position the tail panel like this if possible:
Kind of surprised it doesn't fold up like this:

When was the last time you saw such a post on a masterpiece gun? It's there just to ape the original G1 toy. Think KFC's third party version is a bit better. It just irks me that it's just there with no real purpose, at least they could streamline it into a more normal looking gun grip.

Yeah, about that: those are just repaint proposals people can vote on. You can find more info a few threads down, but the Omnibots seem to be high on the list. I know they are on mine.

Actually, in an unofficial poll done just for fun that I've taken part in, the highest ones are currently Goshooter, Alpha Trion, and Metals Silverbolt, with zero votes for any of the Omnibots since there can only be one winner and everyone who wants the Omnibots only wants them as a group rather than individually.JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Valandar wrote:...

It's Shouki, leader of the Trainbots from Transformers: The Headmasters.mblase75 wrote:Just noticed the Astrotrain repaint has an autobot symbol as a train, but Decepticon insignia as a shuttle. New character or old?
The reason for the symbol in ship mode is due to the ship mode being disguised as the Decepticon starship Thunder Arrow from Transformers: Victory. His Targetmaster partner is Daniel, wearing an exosuit colored to look like the Thunder Arrow's pilot (which was released in Japan as an unaltered Micromaster Skystalker figure)

Really? Well how about that. Here's hoping for another 3-pack

Homaging Skystalker?......WANT!!!!
Now, given Wheeljack has met with some criticism over the less 'toon accurate colours. do you think people will dislike Magnus, given he will have a lot of white from the cab visible?
My biggest concern with him still is how flimsy his mid section is, since it's made of a lot of panels folded next to each other. There isn't much substance in that area

From the looks of these images it seems as though the cab might turn almost completely inside-out for the transformation, possibly in order to hide the white of the cab and expose more reds and blues hidden inside the cab's interior for the robot mode torso.

From the detail you can see, I'm guessing he'll look something like this;
The back certainly folds inside out to the red detail from the cartoon, but non of this is hidden from the front.

Only ONE of those ten is getting made.

Ultra Magnus is looking good but those gappy shins could've been done better, I feel.

Though, I do remember seeing the Art Storm / EX Gōkin Transformers of the characters in that page on display in photos from some previous Japanese event.
