Hey fellow Seibertronians! Want a chance to go to Japan and hang out with the designers from Takara/Tomy? Possibly have a look at future Transformers designs? Prototypes? Maybe even do a little shopping in Akihabara?

Then go to Transform Your Summer.com and use some of those cap codes you've been hanging on to!

Here is what is included in the prize:

Round trip coach airfare for two people to Tokyo, Japan.
Seven night hotel accommodations
Private car transfer from airport to hotel and from hotel to airport
$500.00 spending money
Tour of Tomy Takara offices
Tour of Akihabara shopping district, home of pop-culture and Transformers shopping

Note: The trip must take place by July, 2008 if you win.

You have about 10 hours left, as of this news post, to grab a Moutian Dew and get a code to enter.

If I win and meet the designers, the first thing I'm gonna do is smack them in the back of the head and tell them to do their jobs better!

Then I'm gonna arange for 3 trailers for the stuff I'll need ship home!

Coach and only $500.00 spending money WTF?
Japan is one of the most expensive countries to visit I would want at least $5000.00 and a first class trip before I would enter.

And it's not like Pepsi couldn't afford it. Shit their giving that Ultimate Entertainment package away every day. That totals close to $4,000!

Ah well...I'm curious though if they provide a translator.

I guess only US people can enter huh? I do really hope that a Seibertron.com member does win it. At least he or her would appreciate it.

It'd be hilariously vicious if they just dropped your ass at the airport and said best of luck... in Japanese.

Wouldn't mind winning that, but I do agree that $500 doesn't seem like much spending money...

a few of us do live in Japan, im 30 mins from Akihabara.

been here over about 2 and a half years, and hardly speak a word of Japanese. a translator isnt that important. it does help though...

If they did that I'd probably just go home and pocket the $500.00.

Have you ever tried visiting Takara Tomy? I heard their head quarters is downtown. I have considered writing to them to see if I can get a tour.

I'd check out the new molds. And for all the new stuff that is still in the development stages, well...wouldn't it be a shame if some piece of crap that they try to pass off as a Transformer (Armada Sideswipe, anyone?) suddenly didn't have a mold anymore?

Also, I bet all those supposed 'broken' molds are there, not being used. Buncha a-holes.
