| I'd like to see a TF: P Unicron make it here as well! Also, Hasbro REALLY need to do something here totally cool with those Arms Microns. BADLY. |
| Also, Breakdown is Swerve? Is Swerve the name for Breakdown in Japan? |
Hence the "Autobot" Prefix
| I'm looking forward to these but I'm kind of worried about Unicron. 5000 yen says he'll probably be a leader figure, which is fine, but what will he transform into? I know, people have already mentioned both of these, but it's worth reiterating. Also, Breakdown is Swerve? Is Swerve the name for Breakdown in Japan? I thought they were using all the English names now, and not changing them. Else maybe they're doing the whole Skyquake/Dreadwing thing all over again..... Oh, but it does say Autobot Swerve in Japanese, so..... who knows? Actually, going back to price, Robot Kingdom has stock images of Powerizer Optimus and RID Bumblebee. Darkness Megatron and Unicron both have the same price (US$51.90) and both have the stock Powerizer Optimus image, so I think it's more likely that they'll be Voyagers. You've got to remember that Japanese Transformers have TRADITIONALLY been more expensive, even if they supposedly aren't this time around. So assuming Unicron is a Leader Class, that'd mean Darkness Megatron is also a new mould in the Leader Class. Although, it IS interesting that Swerve/Breakdown/whatever has a slightly lower price than both Megatron and Unicron. The Jet Vehicon should be interesting to see, and Ironhide... it's about time we heard he was coming out. They both appear to be Deluxes, using the stock blacked-out RID Bumblebee picture. |
| 5000 yen is not Leader Class in Japan. Leader Class is about 7000 yen. 5000 yen is only slightly more expensive than a normal Voyager (4000 yen or so). |

| Lulz. Honestly, you're right. Aside from a giant rock lord? No clue. |
| Curious on what Megatron/Unicron end up being. My money's on them still being Voyager-class with bigger Microns, though. |
| I was in Japan two weeks ago. PRID voyager class figs were going for about 3300 yen. The only voyagers over 4000 yen were FE Bulkhead (4400) and FE Optimus (7000+). And obviously those are limited availability, which accounts for the inflated price. So I'm guessing these 5000 yen figs are something more than voyagers. |
