Odd that they used the buzzblade twice.
I'd have liked to have seen Starscreams weapons used too.
It will be interesting to see if people are prepared to pay silly money for these or if they will stabilise at a lower price – as I think anyone who pays $50.00 for one of them has far to much money spare.

Kind of want those blades!

The closest thing I will ever own to a lucky draw is the Family Mart ROTF Clear leader Optimus Prime. The Japanese are fortunate to get this chance but I will stay clear away from the chromed toys. Thanks guys for the translation info.

The chromed weapons are likely to be handed out at various retailers at first come, first served base to the customers who spend certain amount of money on DOTM toys. More details to be announced later. Campaign is to start on 14 May.
Chromed Bumblebee is a lucky draw, but you enter online. The duration of this campaign is 14 May to 31 July and you need to enter 2 serial numbers (numbers that are printed on Mech tech character cards packed with the toys, for example) to enter the draw.
The prize is as listed;
A) Golden "Tritanium Bumblebee" – 10
B) DVD/Blu-Ray double pack (you can't choose the format, wtf) – 10
C) Golden Mech-tech weapon "Tritanium Energy Blade" – 100
D) Downloadable PC desktop wallpaper, different one monthly – to all
There will be two more of the same type campaigns from August onward, and when you enter all 3 campaigns, you are in the draw for the golden "Tritanium Optimus Prime" – 100 to be won.
I don't think you can enter the draws unless you have a Japanese address though.
