JP TFPrime toys to have exclusive decos

[reillyd]

There aren't any actual product pics yet, but it has been announced that the release of the TFPrime toys in Japan will have some different decos/detailing.

Since the Hasbro toys are fairly close to the cartoon colours, maybe the JP versions will be done in a similar fashion to how they did their Animated toys - with shiny decos.

I found some new listings on HLJ that I (think!) might be TF Prime. Since Hasbro released some "first editions" I think these items might be the Takara version. Strangely though, there's no Arcee and a new character Beacon that is a Decepticon

Beacon would fit with the Japanese pronunciation. Goki'd be the expert.
