Just a quick update on the "Cybertron Satellite" Primes of Japan promotion. Autobase Aichi has reported the discovery of another Japanese Prime, Itami Prime, which is based on the Seeker mold. Scroll to the bottom to check him out.

So, one of the rainmakers made it to Prime level. Cool.

God I hope these see toy form! Majority of them look sweet. Just give them plastic form!

Looks like Ratchet got some tiger in his tank. If these were to see toy form, they would probably be directly marketed to collectors I think.

Okay. What the hell is this about?

I'm torn here, are these guys straight repaints or do they have new heads?

Actually, if in plastic form, they would be repaints AND remolds w/ a few having new heads.
Since it seems you haven't read, these are Characters designed to represent a specific city in Japan.

I was not asking about the cities, I was asking what caused these repaints, if they are toys and if they would be remolds instead of repaints. Seems no one knows for sure. Nice job on reading a post, though.

the bottom one just makes me think of Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara

But im pretty sure they are just artwork and will not be made into actual figures.

also I've always been curious, who exactly is your avatar of RhA...

That's because Sendai is founded by Date Masamune. The head is based on his helmet and eyepatch.

I want a toy of Sendai Prime! Assuming they never do anything with these designs, this could be a good idea for a custom project. It's freaking Murasame Date!

A series of Sengoku-Formers would be great.

It's Masamune Date xD. But I get your point. It would be awesome if Takara did some Sengoku-formers. Like turning Optimus to Tadakatsu or Megatron to Nobunaga Oda

. That would be awesome-sauce.
