Just when fans outside of Japan think they can´t be any more jealous of all the cool Transformers-swag that they´re missing out on, Takara goes and does this.

Behold: ROBOT MASTERS!!
This is a series of smaller figures. Each retails for under $15 USD. What´s the catch? Some of these "smaller figures" are scaled down versions of larger figures? What larger figures? How about remolded show accurate versions of the original two Beast Wars leaders? If that doesn´t do anything for you, how about a remolded and fully articulated G1 Starscream? If that´s not enough to get you to click the link, how about a scaled down Masterpiece Convoy? Get the checkbooks out folks ...

Here´s the message from Action-HQ.com (View Pictures):

"Pics and list of the upcoming Takara! Robot Masters series toys starting in July. There are are all redecos of
older transformers I believe but also 4 new re-toolings as per pick.
