AMT Rodimus, Predaking, a New Leo Prime and More at the Shizuoka Hobby Show 2024

Whoa, that new deco on MPM-3 looks excellent! Love the more accurate yellow and especially the new alt mode stripes. Wonder if we’ll see this for the other MPMs, as most of them up until Blackout had inaccurate colors.

Regardless of size, if the finished product screams "Call of the Primitives" at me, I'm sold.

TO THE END!

I don't think it can be overstated how big of a deal that Rodimus is. This is the first time that Hasbro has allowed another company to make a proper transforming figure of one of their characters. Previous ones have been sneakers, hats, pens and whatnot, but not a bot mode and alt mode based on something specific to Hasbro. The closest we've gotten is the ES Gokin Roadbuster, but that was a super deformed figure so it sort of gets around that. Also all of these are closer to Takara Tomy than Hasbro while Fame Toys tends to do things based directly on Hasbro's licenses.



Really groundbreaking stuff. Can't wait to see what Predaking looks like.

Can't wait to see what that Lio Convoy looks like, I guess this will be our toy colors Masterpiece we never got.

I'll be honest, I'm more excited for the Brave releases.

Same here, hopefully that'll mean HasTak will also be more considerate on the kibble as well, we don't need those massive pillars on Headstrong and Tantrum again!

I have no real attachment to Brave, but I would not be opposed to a King Exkaiser in Generations style. Y’know…. Commander Class…

It appears your wish is granted.

Yeah, that prototype looks great. hope they can make a Dragon Kaiser there too, just to complete the set.

Bummer. It wasn't before.

Takara really needs to stop privating so many of their videos a few days after they upload them.

TF40A Bumblebee, the heavy repaint of MPM-3, and Adamas Machina Rodimus are both up for pre-order at the usual places. Rodimus isn't on Amazon Japan yet, but on AmiAmi he comes to $153 before shipping which is A Lot cheaper than the $200-$300 some people were speculating.
