Tokyo Toy Show Coverage: Transformers Image Roundup - Masterpiece, Evangelion, Cloud, More

Rodimus looks good in bot mode Hate to see his vehicle mode triple changer

Looks like someone at the show finally realized how terrible Magnus's pose was and gave him a more neutral-looking stance.

I'm loving Cloud Shockwave even if he is "just" a repaint, and Cloud Hot Rodimus looks neat too. If I could get just one Cloud figure, it's going to be either Starscream or Shockwave.

For those curious, the estimated release date for Shockwave and Hot Rodimus seems to be November, with preorders opening up this month. The final two figures should be revealed before September.

I had the same thought.

EDIT: Bee is also looking a bit better for me, too. Maybe its just the closeup shot.

Told you I'll put Magnus on a diet! I'll take full credit for this.

Properly posed, Ultra Magnus looks fantastic and the butt flap is hardly noticable. I'm not regretting my preorder. Wheeljack and Bumblebee look amazing too though I hope the final product Bumblebee is more yellow than the more gold look here.

Cloud rodimus looks like a super deformed FP protecter. Cloud shockwave was a clever use of the mold to milk a repaint, but nothing I care about. I just stick with TFP shockwave for my classics until a real shockwave comes out. MP bumblebee is all wrong for MP scale by cartoon standards, but might work well for classics if its the same height as an igear scout figure. But why did they have to give it that stupid fake car window in robot mode ? I would rather it have been a hatch like the classics figure. Magnus looks good. I can see all those people who bought KFC Citizen Stack bitch slapping themselves in frustration. And Im calling it...KO Marlboor Wheeljack (Takara is too sissy to promote cigarettes, even in a line meant for adult collectors)

What fake car window on bumblebee are you talking about?

Those squat Movieverse figures are very strange.

Evangelion Optimus :SICK:
Mini Transformers :SICK:
Cloud Shockwave :SICK:
Wheeljack :APPLAUSE:
Ultra Magnus still looks too beefcake, but probably better in hand. The rest are ok. >:oP

well that makes Magnus look a lot better.

Rodimus cloud mode is approved by me but $100? nope.

I do like that purple Whirl. He's not Shockwave IMO, but it's a nice colour, so I'll find some place on my shelves for him.

Yep, Magnus is looking good! Is it me or are Bee's forearms mistransformed? I don't remember seeing a gap there before.

You're gonna pay that much for something you don't like?


Why are the cloud molds so much? That makes no sense to me.

The one located right under his neck in robot mode. Its obviously not the front or rear window of the beetle. Its a fake window.
