New Gallery: Cybertron Con 2013 Beast Hunters Commander Class Predaking from Shockwave's Lab

A new day, a new gallery! Today's subject? G25 Go Prime from Takara Tomy's Transformers Go! line. Go Prime is a partially translucent redeco of the Thundertron mold from Prime: Robots In Disguise. (One of the last molds of the original Prime main line prior to switching over to Beast Hunters.)

It's not the first time this mold has been reused, either. The first time was another Takara Tomy exclusive, Leo Prime, from the Arms Micron line. (Takara Tomy's main line for Prime, featuring slight remolds based on PRID.)

His Micron partner is a reuse, too. Micron Go is a shark based Micron which originally debuted with Arms Micron Dreadwing. A Micron by the name of Jigu. (You can see both galleries for Dreadwing and Jigu here and here.)

And now, our featured gallery:

Could he double as a "black repaint" of Leo Prime? Furthermore, does he have sticker or is it all paint?

guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyyyyys... you mistransformed him... the sides of the lion face move down. it was like that in the box. now im a mad and angry nerd on the internet, so my opinion is obviously important.

Just give me a non-old-fart new head sculpt on this guy and I would have bought him. Is that too much to ask? No ageism comments please, it's not about that.

Ninja face, cool ninja weapons, no strange arms micron weapon, and it would have been sold!

The gallery train keeps on chuggin' along! Today's newest galleries focus on Cyberverse figures, the Commander Class, specifically. Both figures in this spotlight are redecos of existing figures, and in the case of Huffer, he's also a remold.

Speaking of which, first up is Huffer. He's based on the Beast Hunters Cyberverse Commander Class figure of Trailcutter, and both redecoed remolds feature a new head, remolded shoulders (to include cannons), plus various blades on their bodies to differentiate from the original mold, PRID Commander Class Ironhide. Decoed up in G1 Huffer orange and blue, he's an homage to the original figure but has become quite the battle ready tough guy, which is where he differs from the G1 original, greatly.

And last, but not least, we end this spotlight on our galleries with Beast Blade Optimus Prime. This figure is a redeco of the original Beast Hunters Commander Class Optimus Prime who is also the basis for the newly released Voyager Class "simplified" Optimus. (Which we reported on here, and have a gallery of, here.)

This Optimus is redecoed in the same color scheme as the Weaponizers repaint Beast Tracker Optimus (which can be seen here.) and comes with the battlewing shield.

Who else suspects that if the US releases looked like this, they wouldn't be clearancing them for $5 each.
Cobra

Cobraaaaaaa!
I was going to say Soundwave looks good now that he doesn't look like a macaw, but now I'm disappointed they didn't go full Cobra Commander on him. The screenface would make a perfect metal faceplate.

Just packaging. The only figures featured in the DVD anime shorts are the Predacons, the Samurai and Shinobi Teams, and Optimus Exprime.

Transformers Go! was a short Japanese animated series that took the place of Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters in Japan and was available on DVD's that came with TV Magazine and TV Kun. The Autobots featured the Swordbot Samurai team and the subject of this gallery-the Swordbot Shinobi team which consists of Gekisoumaru, Hishoumaru and Sensuimaru. This trio of brand new molds combine in three different ways with each bot forming the top of the combined mode.

Also featured is galleries of the promotional Arms Microns that came from certain Japanese retailers with a purchase of 3,000 yen of Transformers Go! product. These Arms Microns are Shou, Sen and Geki. As always click the following pictures to see the full gallery.

I think this is the first time I've really noticed how each Kabuto of the Shinobi Team attaches to each of them in altmode.
