Congrats to the design team at Takara Tomy! The standards they established have helped set the bar for official and third party to live up to. (Now if they could just figure out a way to satiate the fans evenly with those darn color schemes.)

Bump of Chicken is a Japanese band. They did music for Final Fantasy Type-0, and the legal dispute over regional use of it is one of the reasons North America didn't see a version until the PS4/Xbone release.

I just thought it was a random crazy translation thing, and I'm still not sure why it's in the article that I can't read otherwise

I love puns! Thank you.
Looks like the band are fans of the Transformer brand, and are either presenting the award or performing during the show. My Japanese is terrible, though; so please take with a grain of salt.

An MP Jetfire could go one of two ways:
1) Bandai will have a hissy-fit and stop its development.
2) It will be based on the cartoon Skyfire design

And wouldn't it be Harmony Gold, rather than Bandai, who'd throw the hissy fit since it was Harmony Gold who threw it the last few?

What's Grimlock doing in there? Granted, we do need a new one that fits the modern MP scale better.
Considering the current design trend towards cartoon likenesses, Skyfire seems like a safe bet. I would be more than happy to buy a Skyfire that stood at the upper heights of the MP sizes like Star Saber.
