Official JP images - Fort Max, FOC Bruticus & others, Masterpiece

A heap of official images have been posted up on the Amazon Japan website, covering toys from the next 6 months... giving us some really great first looks at some of them.

Encore 20A Devastator & Encore 23 Fortress Maximus - looks like Fort Max will be virtually identical to the original (if this is pics of the new one).

Masterpieces - 15 (Rumble & Ravage), 16 (Frenzy & Buzzsaw), 10B (Black Convoy).

Generations - 03 (Blast Off), 04 (Vortex), 05 (Brawl), 06 (Swindle), 07 (Onslaught), 08 (Kickback), 09 (Starscream), 10 (Sideswipe), 11 (Ultra Magnus), 12 (Air Raid), 13 (Soundwave w/ Laserbeak), 14 (Soundblaster w/ Buzzsaw).
All with shiny colours.

When are the Takara FOC figures going to be available?

I need that Starscream ASAP (although I am increasinly concerned that the chest is going to be a massive gap, a la FE Cliffjumper) (which still turned out okay to be fair)

They all look fantastic! :cool:

Hmmm... I wonder if those cassette boxes are exclusives... :confused:

Love them all!

The Generations figs look amazing. I'm glad Takara Tomy is back in form!

MP-15 and MP-16, hope these are not the final product, cause the paint on them looks sloppy:rolleyes:

Maxie looks great! :) Not a fan of the retooled Devvie head, probably because I'm more of a fan of toy accuracy than show likeness, but I can see how this'd appeal to show-likeness fans. :) The Constructicons individually look really nice and they seem to have gone for a more G1-accurate shade of green (at least, it looks that way in the prototypes/photos). Not bothered to get the whole set again though.

Between January and March next year. The exact dates are on the Amazon.jp links on that Seibertron page.

I think the masterpiece Tapes look awesome, it looks like Ravage also produces weapons from the cassette mode with no add-on parts. The Frumble brothers also look like they have ball joints on their necks, for added articulation.

I'm curious to see if they've re-engineered Fort Max to look the same but use less plastic. otherwise I'm super tempted to grab a Fort Max. I have pre-ordered at BBTS but might end up getting it from Robot kingdom or somewhere since it's that much cheaper.

Ohh, I'm tempted to buy Hasbro and Takara's Air Raid.
