Transformers GT - Japan Super GT and Transformers Collaboration

At least they're re-molds, not just straight-up re-paints.

That Toy Hobby Market logo has me thinking some of these will be exclusives.

If they have all that sponsor deco-ing on the outsides, they will be the more interesting 3 of the 8 of that mould. (like the TF3 wreckers)

I don't see how Maximus is related to Fort Max at all. The head doens't look at that Maximus-y. Unless it's based on the smaller robot head...

The blue and red highlights in robot mode are really the only thing doing it... the green totally negates that though.

The head on Maximus looks like it isn't remolded at all tbh.
I'm surprised that any of you guys are surprised that Takara's choosing big name characters regardless of aesthetics!
One can only hope with this news, that Star Saber is next in line for Encore release!

Not surprised *cough*Dai Atlas*cough.*

But they did give Star Saber a new head so I assumed that Maximus would get one as well. That would make logical sense wouldn't it? And that is where I went wrong.

Noooooo! We still need Overlord and Scorponok and Trypticon first!

update on these Super GT Alternity figures. According to Autobase Aichi, who has read the flyer handed out at the event, the releases are to be Optimus and Star Saber in March 2013 and so far Fort Max isn't confirmed. The two confirmed figures will have unique weapons - Optimus' is "Optimus Rifle in disguise of an impact wrench" and Star Saber will be equipped with "Saber Blade in disguise of refuelling machine"

This basic mold is vying for most used along with the classics seekers by now!.... But, I will probably pick up Star Saber - since this is the only place to get rubber tyres any more and the whole shell is new at least. Also in the hope that the line will extend to other car models ... but probably wishful thinking.
