Recap of Shizuoka Hobby Show Reveals: Transformer Crossover Figures of Macross, Zoids, Evangelion + More

That Predaking is sweet. I wonder how many internal organs that'll cost.

Frankly, I don't care. I will give my left testicle for that thing.








I've been married and haven't had access to it for 25 years anyways...

Just make sure to keep that Macross Optimus away from pineapple salad.

Not gonna complain except that it's always him. I'm just thrilled to see these crossovers...they are just fun. That Zoids one...no idea where that came from but I love it. Has a Diaclone reboot feel to it (yes, I know it's technically a TF/Diaclone/Zoids crossover, but you could argue that Diaclone is more Zoids than Zoids are).

Frankly the thing I'm most excited for is the new MPG Load Hauler. I have a very soft spot for these obscure characters, even though normally I collect only Decepticons, I'll make (yet another) exception for him. Cordon and Burn Out are feeling lonely lately...

Not sure on Predaking yet, but it is the same "toyline numbering" as Rodimus, so until told otherwise, I would guess it does transform too

Site hasn't let me on for over a week so maybe you've already seen these, but this is from page 3:

Price on the Shield-D-Prime here is around £260 mark -Kapow has pre-orders up:

Not keen on bot modes shoulder joints.

So how are we feeling about Macross 7 Basara Prime? I'm really digging him, I think I'm going to call him Basara Rodimus Prime since he's more Rodimus than Optimus which appears to be entirely intentional, probably why he isn't called Basara Optimus Prime this time.





I love it, not every crossover needs to be Optimus Prime.

I got the Monster Hunter Optimus Prime.

He comes in a HUGE box.
I thought at first it was a waste, but the figure itself is sizeable. He's packed in dragon mode.





God fukking dammit, auto-focus...


Comparing to his moldmates, this dragon have about the same wingspan as the others, but his body is more massive.





The Matrix store inside the "belly" of the beast.



The bot mode looks like a demonic knight. I will skip the "Magnus" version, but I'd be a sucker for a possible Nemesis version.







The shield and the sword can combine into a massive mace. I forgot to add the side-skirts to the weapon.



Optimus is a wee bit taller than Airrazor and Filtch.



Overall, The retooling and the added mass has promoted him to a solid voyager-ish class. For the overall price of a leader, he's expensive, but very much worth it. He feels solid in hand and he's fun to fiddle with.

But Prime and Convoy are basically the same thing...
