Apparently, No's 6&7 are modified Voyager classed figures. On the link above, someone claims that the Optimus will have plug-on Jetfire parts that don't actually make a Jetfire figure or jet. Interesting if true.

Here is a serach for Taktoms TF Animated on Amazon JP if you are keen to look directly at the source

[Wheel-J]

The list of Japanese Animated toys, all 31 here, except for a Japanese Samurai Prowl and the Ninja Jazz seems odd to me..
Could it be possible that Takara is just reserving them for an exclusive release along with a new mold for Yukitron and/or Warpath perhaps. nah!

Those Alternity's and Device label have turned what is a slow Japanese year for me into something that is a bit busier. However, will have to hold off on getting anything until September when I am on holiday..

Not liking the look of any Japanese Animated so far..
Chrome like paint doesn't work that well on the figures.
