    That's a bummer, Jazz was always the coolest car. Nice to see there is an official MP Hound finally coming though.

    Nothing G1 MP related in this month's Figure King.

    トランスフォーマー新着情報ブログ

    As a result of the consecutive holidays, TF corner of figure king released today 25 days is color 4 pages.

    ◆ Introduction of the characteristics of the series and the first line of the series. Seven items of the first release are introduced, but the basic photographs are the same as the pre-existing declaration materials, the main visual 7 item gathering photograph and the photograph with the Cog's armed parts attached to Optimus Prime as a gimmick photograph , Three of the pictures which developed Armor parts mainly around the Ultra Magnus' s Convoy are considered new shooting. Especially, I think that this is the first time including overseas when separating the parts of Ultra Magnus, but the picture is small like every time.

    In addition, as a feature of the series, there are individual specs in each weapon part, which were touched only by letters in overseas press releases, etc. Also mentioned in the image play which enhances the spec with combination of weapons I will.

    ◆ live action Bumblebee related. MPM-7 Bumblebee is published as 10800 yen late October release. The main picture is the same as the advertisement material on Dengeki Hobby WEB but in addition to that there are about 2 different photos on Gimmick introduction.

    Besides, Power Charge Bumblebee, Legendary Optimus Prime, Studio Series SS-16 Bumblebee, SS-17 KS Eye Sentry, SS-18 Star Scream are newly posted. Legendary Optimus is specified as a domestically led development product.

    ◆ Other, released in February Power of the Prime PP - 44 Punch / Counter Punch, Takara Tomy Mall Limited Blue Big Convoy, October Release Turbo Change TC - 13 Battle Command Optimus Prime Strongest Command Set, Meta - College G1 Transformers 4 Items Introduced It has been. There is no particular information-specific thing in particular.

    Below Dacron

    ◆ For the Diacron Corner, developer interviews are published almost for two pages this month. Battle Buffalo, Walder suit concepts and development history, and other comments on future developments are also listed in large amounts. First of all, maneuver strengthening parts, then Walder suit strengthening parts, then deployment is a price and size deforming mechanism of about the middle between coalesced robots such as Batrus and powered suit. It seems like that.

    Which would be weird if true because IIRC Volkswagen and Porsche are merged (or one owns the other).

    It was one said by many that Sunstreaker was not possible because Lamborghini would never allow it.

    Jazz will come out whenever TT feels its time.

    I can see TT not wanting to stack the deck with Jazz but I also don’t see TT holding on to Jazz either. They know that figure will sell and has hit major roadbloacks since Alternators hit the scene. I am in no doubt that a prototype exists. Porsche is dug in and even though Volkswagon owns them, they still manage their own affairs.

    I’m also basing this off of the rush job for MP Bumblebee. TT pushed him out fast for the new movie. Without knowing how many teams or how many people are actually working on Masterpiece, the very fact that BB is now up for pre-order means that Hound could have hit the pre-order stage, V3 should be in color by now and we should know what’s inside of that trailer.

    I do agree with you with TT releasing figures whenever they feel like it.

    Believe me, I do wish TT was the type of company that would let us know what they are working on. You know, anticipate what we're getting.

    But they are simply too unpredictable, to the point that all the theories in the world simply do not make sense. There's no rhyme and reason as far as their release schedule, none whatsoever.

    Why they hold on certain releases and why they haven't made a single combiner yet is simply something I stopped thinking about. i'll just simply and happily get what they decide to put out whenever they damn well please.

    They got me by the balls.

    Assholes.

    Fairly, sunstreaker's possibility was open since Sideswipe was created, i doubt any of us unexpected him (even though his reveal was), the only problem was how TT would solve the figure so it can please the license given.

    TT has worked with Porsche on Model kits and maybe other things? So, if we go by that rationale, the license holder should only have a problem with the fact that the vehicle transforms?

    I'm 100% positive Jazz is happening.

    I'm starting to think they're too damn lazy to actually release an actual colored version and they're just gonna go "Here, have a grey Prime, paint it all yourself".

    Don't want to get people's hopes up needlessly, but the All Japan Model Hobby Show is in two days.

    28th - 30th September.

    It's the same show where Hot Rod and Shockwave were revealed.
