Robot Kingdom has updated their Facebook Gallery with scans from this month’s edition of Figure King Magazine. This month’s edition has more images of Jet Vehicon and Darkness Megatron, due out in late July – Jet Vehicon here looks more muted and less flamboyant than the one that was on display at the Tokyo Toy Show. The Kabaya Fortress Maximus series is also shown – the gigantic Fortress Maximus is here confirmed to have all three of his modes present and correct, plus the Minibots that come with each base set – Cerebros, Windcharger and Powerglide – are shown in detail for the first time.
Saving the best for last, the third scan dedicates itself to MP-12 Sideswipe (Lambor) MP-13 Soundwave, and MP-14 Red Alert (Alert). There is also a small feature on Garigari-Kun robo, the transforming ice lolly; the first six Arms Micron single figures featuring the trio that merge into a giant sword and the recolors of Skywarp, Terrorcon Cliffjumper and vanilla Cliffjumper’s partners, and the Toys R Us Exclusive Optimus Prime with Battle Shield / Cosmotechtor Arms Microns.

That Jet Vehicon looks better all the time.
PoweredConvoy
That's interesting. At least those who get the normal version can have one.

The scan in Cheem The Rup's post confirms that regular release MP Soundwave comes with one Energon cube. Amazon jp release comes with additional 2 cubes (3 in total). Hope this helps.

Nothing really. The text isn't much different from vendor's product description.

Wouldn't mind the Jet Vehicon if we can get a better shot. But I'm not complaining.

Any additional information in these regarding the MPs? Japanese speakers?

Man… Sideswipe is looking good. Can't wait for him. And then his brother!
Soundwinder
Supposedly a horseshoe crab and then into… a… blade… thing.
… yeah, it's not Takara's most inspired work.

what Animal is AMW-01 supposed to be? for the life of me I cannot figure it out no matter how many times I see that pic. Also, what is weapon mode supposed to be? It looks like a killer satalite… which I am sure is incorrect.

Sideswipe = sexy bitch.

I have yet to see a big enough, clear enough picture to figure out what's going on with Megatron or how good it looks (although it does seem to be an improvement over the US version- but that wouldn't take much).
I wouldn't have thought chrome from this picture- I would have thought it would look more shiny. But it's possible. Paint seems more likely, or maybe more of those stickers- although applying a large sticker to a curved surface is difficult.
I want to see clearer pictures.

I think Takara Red Alert will have a red helmet, like the animation model. If they're going to all the effort of remolding RA to have the little horn "spikes" like the cartoon, then I figure they will paint him up red. If Takara was leaving the head black, like the G1 toy, then why spend more $$ remolding the head? why not leave it identical, like how G1 Sideswipe & RA had the same head.
plus, even though Takara didn't expend the effort to remold Henkei RA's head to differ from Sideswipe/Lambor they DID paint his head red, like the animation.
If they remold smaller details, like the shoulder w/ wheels, and a new head to match G1 animation model, why stop at a little paintjob?

Perhaps you read red where you saw black?
If it's going to be show accurate, MP Red Alert will have a RED helmet, just like the henkei version. It's hasbro's generations alert that had a black helmet.

i think it's safe to assume that it will, considering the henkei version had one, and they're trying to be as show accurate as possible. so, my guess would be yes.. but i could be wrong.
