New scanned images from the January 2011 issue of Hyper Hobby magazine have been posted to Thai fan site
Modxtoy.com and mirrored at the UK's
Transformers at the Moon. The scans highlight several of Takara Tomy's upcoming Transformers releases including Animated Black Rodimus, MP Rodimus Convoy, and the United versions of Straxus and Cybertron Megatron. We also get a look at the very shiny, very heavily armed United Cybertron Optimus Prime, packing an arsenal of the new Micron Targetmasters derived from the Power Core Combiners. The scans have been mirrored from
Transformers At The Moon for your viewing enjoyment. Check them out and then share your thoughts below.

The colors for Straxus, Soundwave, and the Targetmasters/Minicons look very limited for my tastes.
Also, I find this amusing for some reason

The Chrome does wonders for the WFC figures. Not about to mail order, but might pick em up at Botcon. Glad to see the Optimus is being re-released. I missed out on him before. Also liking Goldbug. Looks so much better without the stupid racing stripes.

I'm thinking it's time for me to pick up the voyager Megatron mold. The United version isn't my favorite, but it's not too bad.

Can anyone who reads Japanese translate that bit about the Targetmaster/Mini-Con guns? I'd really like to get my hands on them.
