So it seems that Golden Lagoon Optimus has some friends.
Twitter user Masabon has noted that there are going to be Golden Lagoon figures consisting of Unite Warriors Starscream for ¥3800, as well as a 3-pack of Legends Seaspray, Legends Perceptor and Power of the Primes Beachcomber released alongside it for ¥8000.
Are all the figures coming out in October or just Optimus?
They are curiously ugly and intriguing at the same time... I think I might have to get Optimus at least.
Looks like the three Golden Lagoon bots are being released in November.Quote:

Wouldn't Thrust have been the most logical Decepticon character to be part of the set since he was the first one to jump in the lagoon?
While you are right I always tend to think of beachcomber when I think about the golden lagoon episode. So very strange they have missed both of these charactersQuote:

Not when you consider that there's no easy way for them to do a Combiner Wars Thrust without a heap of retooling.Quote:

Someone's been inspired by Apple :cool:

Now, where's that gif? :D
I often think of Dirge and Long Haul as they were the two Cons left behind to guard the lake. Pretty sure Dirge got jumped by the Bots in this setQuote:

I'd dig an Masterpiece version.Quote:

Since the 2006 Classics Starscream mould is apparently worn out, I would have preferred some other toy/character than the CW Starscream for this.
I agree. Especially since the art shows a very accurate Starscream, this guy just looks like an Aerialbot. The SG one looked more like Jetfire than Starscream with Jetfire’s colours.Quote:
