TFW2005 Sponsor TFSource has dropped us a quick line this morning, with confirmation and announcement of Takara Generations preorders!
This is likely old news, but today Takara/Tomy finally confirmed the release of the highly anticipated and predicted line of Generations toys! They will likely feature slightly different color schemes, metallic paint apps and new packaging. Pictures are supposed to come within a few days.The retail price in Japan is 2980 yen + tax (approximately $40 US).
TFsource has the first two figures up for preorder here:
Transformers Generations Japan – TG01 Optimus Prime
Transformers Generations Japan – TG02 Autobot Jazz
Staff Note: The picture attached to this news story is not of the upcoming release, but a placeholder image.

Um, they have. Both games saw release there.

It's weird that these toys keep getting released in Japan, when they haven't gotten either game.
It will probably just be regular G1 Bruticus.
Girl Pants
I wonder what colors we'll get for him from Japan?
While a second shot at game accurate (either similar or exactly SDCC) would be neat, I hope we eventually get a Valdigus or Battle Gaia.
It's funny that you say that, I find the Ultra Magnus redeco works great at bringing that mold to life.
Steroid Prime
nothing can save that optimus
Megatron31
looks forward to pics

Screw these two. Bring on Bruticus!

I'm curious to see how Jazz looks. Optimus too, but he's a non-priority at this point.

If Prime is as shiny as that photoshopped image, count me in.
Girl Pants
I might hold off on Hasbro Jazz until pics of this version show up.
I really loved United WfC Megatron, so if the improvement is similar, I'm in.

in before complaints about those molds costing $40!
