Can anyone translate the lyrics? If you could, that would be a big help. Thanks!

Reminds me of Linkin Park as far as how the video looks. The aesthetic looks very 2003.

We have a pair of updates for you today regarding some Takara Exclusive gold weapons.

The first update comes concerning the Bronze Caliber Axe, the gold colored version of the axe that comes with Caliber Optimus Prime that was revealed over here. The axe is now available, and here is how you get it: go to Takara Tomy Mall, spend at least 2000 yen, and a Caliber Axe is yours! This information, along with an image of the bronze axe, comes from Snakas Blog.

The second update, also from Snakas blog, reveals that starting November 11, a second promotion will be happening where you can spend 5000 yen at Takara Tomy Mall and a gold version of Megatron's battle axe and Optimus' Temenos sword can be yours! The pair were teased in the previous story that you can see above, but here are finally shown in full.

Check out these new gold weapons below, and let us know if you intend to try to get one or all 3 for yourself!

According to stuff I've read, all 3 are Leader weapons.

I saw the ax on TTMall this morning (I check every morning looking to see if Brave Max has made its goals), but I can't read Japanese and couldn't find any translatable text on the site so I didn't bother passing it along. :HEADHURTS:

As we have seemingly be writing about forever, today was the release date for the home releases of Transformers: The Last Knight - the fifth live-action movie from Paramount and Michael Bay - in Japan, where it's know as the The Last Knight King (or King of Knights, though nothing to do with Saber). We covered a while ago the 7 Eleven exclusive accompanying figure with the Blu-Ray edition of the movie, too, a clear plastic Optimus Prime, which uses the Voyager Premier edition of the character.

Thanks to regular suspects on social media, aka Japanese toy bloggers tagoal, Alfes 2010, singgg4 and yokozana, we have some in-hand, in-package, and posed images of the toy, too! Take a look below at some pretty cool looking full body light piping, and let us know what you think of the toy in the Energon Pub Discussion Board!

Clear versions of Starscream are meant to represent him as a ghost. So does that mean this guy is a Ghost Optimus?

He's meant to be the "Ghost of Michael's Past", forever haunting Mr Bay's dreams until he fixes his ways and starts making decent films.

Ghostimus Prime look nie. But not nice enough for me to spend the big bucks and import him from a 3p seller.

Just further supports my hate for clear plastic figures, especially when it's paired with opaque plastic. :SICK:

In some previous cases, clear versions of Optimus represented powered up "Crystal" forms of him. 8-)

I'll take opaque with clear if means less chance of breakage.

I usually dislike clear figures but I actually really like this. Not enough to pay the likely high cost to get one but I do really like it.

My Japanese friend told me that her TF-loving sons wanted to get the toy, but not the "Amerika eiga (movie)". I think she was basically saying they didn't want to fork out more of their pocket-money on a crummy Bay film just to get a clear version of a toy they already have.

That, and I have already brought the world of wei Jiang to their attention...
