The new Figure King magazine is in and Loopaza scanned all the juicy Transformers pages for us.

You will see more images of those new cell phone Transformers called AU Transformers (since it is an AU phone). We can see Optimus, Megatron and Bumblebee.

The rest is filled with movie toys from their Transformers The Last Knight TLK line with a 2 page spread for the Age of Extinction Bumblebee repaint which still has fans scratching their heads as to how this can be coming from Takara. They sure seem proud of it though, showing off all it's angles.

One Step toys are also present as is the Toysrus Exclusive Voyager Optimus Prime.

If anyone is looking for a difference in the paint apps, there are a few more present on Beserker compared to the Hasbro counterpart but that seems to be it. Let us know if you spot any more differences between these and the Hasbro versions.

Huh, a shame the Takara versions seem to be nigh-on identical to the Hasbro versions. I'm sure we'll get better painted premium versions later, but still, disappointing. I will say though, with actual care taken for posing, Berserker looks awesome.

Yeah, I mean it's a great figure. I have the Hasbro one (with some extra painting) and the oversized Voyager class KO.

I just don't get the fuss they seem to be making when really it's "hey, kids! Remember that nifty Bumblebee figure you got a few years ago? Well now you can buy a crappier version! Woo!"

It makes no sense, even hasbro hasnt done that with their stuff yet. I dont remember them buying a billboard advertising the RID redeco of stomp and chomp grimlock. This one really is a headscratcher. And the thing is (please correct me if I am wrong) but that figure king magazine is collector oriented right? So how do they think this is the big selling point?! unless they know this is the toy that needs the most advertising since its their weakest offering.

There sure is a lot of missing paint on that bumblebee on his arms and legs especially.

It's amusing as heck that I could find half a dozen Plus KO's that are better in every respect than that toy - some of them even include metal - I could buy a 35 or 45cm KO Bumblebee on ebay right now for about the same price that would cost to buy from somewhere like BBTS.

I wonder how many people are looking at that Optimus and saying to themselves - oh that will be really cool when KBB or Wei Jiang etc..make a superior overscale KO version (#faceplam).

I would like to get a better look at the new hound toys though - and I am also kinda curious about Onslaught too.

I suppose the only interest to both those Bumblebees is that they are Yellow and not orange - some people may like that as an option.

It's the Bumblebee effect. They know he's one of the biggest sellers of any movie line so they're going to promote the hell out of it. Who cares that there's a new Optimus Prime figure right there, this is Bee! Real scary thing is Takara Tomy probably told them to do it.

The very new stuff like the Megatron figures aren't shown because they can't take a chance of it being leaked ahead of the Wonder Festival reveal.

He certainly does, but loose joints isn't his most major one:

1.) His hands are the most troubling. Initial releases have a long middle finger, so it comes as no real surprise that later ones have them snipped... badly. Even later releases, including the Japanese versions, have the hands retooled to remedy that.

2.) His dreads are rubbery and hard to move without breaking the clear plastic hinges, unfortunately you have to do just that for vehicle mode. It's a really tight squeeze to make everything fit.

Thanks to Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, we have high resolution scans of the collector magazine Figure King, featuring plenty of Transformers figures from The Last Knight, Legends, Masterpiece, Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee and a number of exclusive tie-ins with the movie, some of which we've seen before.

Most notably, we have some more TLK15 Calibur Optimus, TLK19 Leader Megatron, and a new Takara Tomy movie giveaway item (check the news shortly)! Take a look below, and head to the respective threads to join the conversation.

No. It's from a Japanese toyline called Metalcore that sells tiny, mostly die-cast versions of licensed characters. They did an AOE Prime and Bumblebee a while back.

I'd like to note that's not supposed to be read as "Metal Core". Rather, it's short for "Metal Collection", or "MetaColle".

And no name for the Repugnus drone? I'm disappoint.

:EDIT: One thing I noticed when I recorded the ID numbers for the toys: in series, they follow the Hasbro product codes, so when put side by side, everything is in perfect order.

Well that sucks peanuts. I want that little metal Sqweeks! I love the Deluxe figure, sure, but it's not in scale with anything else and not movie accurate (since it was designed to actually transform whereas movie Sqweeks is busted up beyond that).

Gimme.

Thanks to Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, we have high resolution scans of the collector magazine Figure King, featuring plenty of Transformers figures from Studio Series, Power of the Primes, and the now very varied Masterpiece line which includes Diaclone style redecos, a fully golden Optimus Prime and Beast Wars Masterpiece toys, like Megatron.

Most notably, we have some more Power of the Primes Inferno, Studio Series Wave 2 deluxes and voyagers, and these are the best quality images of the first time we see Beast Wars Megatron's beast mode. Fans who can read Japanese have stated that this Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron figure includes a sound chip, which will undoubtedly be in Japanese.

I'm sure fans who never saw the Japanese Beast Wars dub may be confused if Takara chose to make Megatron's voice clips be the goofier ones like him screaming or him saying he's late for piano practice.

It’s their version of megatron. Takara doesn’t make their master piece figures for western audiences. They will take your money because they know you’ll give it to them but you are not their target audience so they are not going to accommodate to you because they dont have to.

Just like the Legends line. Their focus was pretty much the Takara Trilogy with their decos and retooling while hasbro-got whatever reason- does G1 toy accuracy because they they believe that’s what everyone wants.

Every month we get new scans from the hobby magazine Figure King which is Takara's main channel for reveals, outside of shows, and new product images. And this one might be one for the ages with the best look yet at many upcoming Masterpiece figures, one of them being Beast Wars Megatron, probably the most sought after since the line's inception. Many of these images did crop up in the corresponding figures' threads but Loopaza has now uploaded high quality images of the entire Transformers section. We see that not only did we have Masterpiece figures, but we also have new shots of the Gold Lagoon repaints and Encore Beast Wars Returns Convoy (Beast Machines Optimus Primal). There is one cool shot of the 3 Optimus Primal figures we got recently reminding us all that big bot is getting some well deserved love.

Here are the corresponding figures' if you want to join the discussion:

MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron

MP Optimus Prime 3.0

Beast Machines Optimus Primal

Gold Lagoon Figures

MP 36+ Megatron G1 Toy Deco

Power of the Primes

This month Magazine Figure King cover the coming up Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron in full color! All the details being shown in full and all other Transformers line up as well. And finally, the first look of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime 3.0 version!

It was just over a week before SDCC 2017 when Hasbro officially announced their exclusives last year so don't be surprised if we don't hear anything this year until a week or so into July.

On topic: I'm not crazy about the gold lagoon set, but I do have to admire Takara Tomy's dedication in combining four different lines (Unite Warriors, Legends, Power of the Primes, and Masterpiece) to make this all work.

The new action figure magazine is out and the hot item this month is the Unicron of Light which is the antithesis to Armada Unicron, made up of all the minicons and their combined energy/light. While it is a representation of the same thing the Lucky Draw toy is based on, it has a very different take on the deco, which is a smart way to keep the Lucky Draw unique and collectable while offering everyone now a chance to own a representation of this being for their shelves.

We also have some shots of Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron and of toys identical to their Hasbro counterpart like Wreck Gar and Nemesis Prime.This is indeed lighter than previous months, especially since there are fewer Transformers toys Takara is releasing differently from Hasbro. That doesn't mean Takara themselves as a company have less to offer. So, we also included more shots from this magazine, showcasing their other giant robot line, Diaclone.

These images were brought to us by the Loopaza Megastore.

Enjoy!

An update of Battle Buffalo?!?

That means the Neo-Diaclone line really is touching back on Transformers: specifically, 'Space Transformers'! Diatron 5!!!

And while I'm not crazy about every liberty taken with the design, this has me wondering just how freaky an updated Warudaros might turn out! Masterpiece Paras B!

While more high resolution scans would be fun, we wanted to share all the Transformers goodness found in the latest issue of the Figure King Magazine. While this highlights Takara releases, these are for the most part the same figures we are getting from Hasbro (including the Masterpiece toys). The one figure that so far still seems to be Takara exclusive is the Legendary Optimus Prime, which we finally have an image showing us how big it truly is.

We see an image comparing it to the voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, showing it to be the size of a modern day leader class toy (or just about). Speaking of scale, we also see how big Micromasters are, which is the exact same size as the Prime Master decoy armour (so slightly bigger than their G1 counterparts). We also get a sense of how big the Power Charge Bumblebee toy is in vehicle mode.

We also see other Transformers Siege toys, but nothing that has yet to be revealed. What is curious is that the Optimus Pime we are seeing does not have weathering effects. It is unknown if that means there will be a difference between Takara and Hasbro (which would go against what we have been told) or if this is simply an early figure and the final result will be different. We have yet to see the finished product from Hasbro too, since everything we have seen of Siege was a painted model.

We also see Masterpiece Optimus Prime version 3 which highlights his articulation and backpack.

And there is more, much more, like Takara Tomy Studio Series Starcream, Movie Bumblebee and KSI Sentry, MPM-06 Ironhide, Encore Big Convoy, Studio Series DOTM Ratcher, Ironhide and Shadow Raider, PP Throne Of The Primes, Masterpiece Wheeljack, Legends Grotusque and Repugnus and the Unite Warriors reissues.

He still has the wear paint aps just the lighting and quality of photo obscuring it's view, check the standing pose, left leg.

Also the wear aps are invisible depending on angle of light.
