Second wave JP Movie toylist

[griffin]

The first wave toylist was leaked in mid January, which ultimately ended up being the "Lost Age Advance" line.

The second wave listing has now also leaked, and on the mainline (Generations) movie toys it again notes the deco differences to the Hasbro versions. The ones without any notes are apparently gimmick figures like one-step and power-action.

I think all the ones with "LA" are gimmick figures, which would mean that the expensive top one (electronic Optimus with trailer) could be like the Chomp-n-Stomp Grimlock, and is noted as a JP exclusive.

The "Black Night Leader Grimlock" sounds like it will match the mostly-grey steel look of Grimlock in the Trailer... but since the Hasbro version isn't listed by TakaraTomy, this JP version might not be released by Hasbro either. (unless the movie line is actually successful, and warrants redeco Leader class toys - which Hasbro hasn't done with their last four Movie Leader moulds (2010 Starscream, TF3 Ironhide, Bumblebee, Sentinel).

Most of these are July 19th release, while a couple are early August.

An image of the expensive one at the top of the list (Battle Command Optimus - electronic and with a Trailer) has been released, and it looks like a new trailer/jetpack.
A decent looking jetpack, forming a cubish trailer that isn't a solid box... which wouldn't be too possible if you want a nice looking jetpack.
The legs don't look to match any TF4 Optimus toy so far revealed (First Edition, Leader/JP Advanced, Voyager, One-step, Power-Attack, Flip-and-Change), so this looks to be another transforming TF4 truck Optimus mould... as if we didn't have enough already.

A clearer pic should surface soon, or be in the JP hobby magazines in a couple months.

Speaking of the JP Advanced Optimus (which is the Leader class Optimus for Hasbro), some bigger scans were posted up of it, from one of the Hobby magazines that was posted up somewhere a couple weeks ago.

Some better images of the LA-01 Battle Command Optimus, showing that it is indeed a new mould Optimus, and a fairly decent trailer. (just a little short in length... but necessary to keep the jet pack to a decent size - unlike the Ultimate TF3 Optimus, which had huge cross of wings on the back)
