Full Reveal of TakaraTomy Mall Exclusive Transformers Masterpiece Set: Stripes, Nightstalker, Wing Thing, Enemy

I'm ALL about this! I'm ready.

Wingthing didn't quite end up in the color I was hoping for. But f*** it! AUDICONS!

I'm excited to see how Nightstalker transforms.

Masterpiece Blaster, Masterpiece Blaster... It's got to happen...

I like the look of Enemy and Wingthing.

While the colours look good on Stripes, I still think the mold is inferior to Device Label Ravage who could move his jaw, making him more expressive.

I never liked Nightstalker using Steeljaws molds. I always saw him as Ravage's twin and felt he should have shared Ravage's mold.

Anyway else find it interesting that if you translate Enemy's name to Hebrew, we've got a Transformer named Satan?

Stripes looks kinda neat.

Actually, Satan means Adversary in Hebrew. Oyeb is the transliterated word for enemy.

MP Wing Thing forever!!

Yes.

Just noticing Stripes's hind quarters are retooled. I wonder if they could combine Nightstalker's front half with Stripes's back to get Steeljaw?

Hmmm...yeeeessss..

I've never heard them called "Audicons" before, especially since the two cats are Autobots. Usually they're called Mini-Cassettes or Cassette Warriors (or just cassettes or tapes).

This is an Audi-Con:

They're exclusive to Takara Tomy Mall in Japan, but the TTM exclusives often end up as Asia retail exclusives as well so there's a chance of that happening. Either way we'll certainly see them imported through sites like TFSource and BBTS as well. Of course you could always try using a proxy service and order them directly, but that's not necessarily the cheapest rout.

Before I realllly started getting in to collecting, Soundwave and the Cassettes were already my favorites just because of what they were.

So. When I was learning about combiner teams, and how the each had a team name, I self-assigned the cassettes Audicons (audio-cons). Then I realized that the -bots and -cons suffix lined up with their faction. I came up with "Soundbots" but that just sounds stupid. I ultimately decided that if an entire race of transformers can be called "Mini-cons" and not all be Decepticons, then I would just stick with Audicons as a collective name.

A number of years ago, I was hoping it would catch on. At this point, I am just stuck with the term by habit.
