Would Gok kindly translate the following in this flash presentation? -> http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products...ore/e-07s.html

It's the history of the Sky Lynx toy - explains how Transformers originally came from Takara's Microman and Diaclone lines, but that Transformers like Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme and Jetfire etc came from non-Takara companies; in the case of Sky Lynx, it was manufactured by Toybox. They've since been able to secure the rights to the Toybox Shuttle Dinosaur (pre-TF Sky Lynx) mould and are thus able to make this reissue.

It's nothing new for any of us, but the information is obviously there for anyone who may not be as familiar with TF toy history.

I think it's really cool how Takara are now using their alliance with TOMY to hunt down TF moulds that they didn't own but have been since purchased by TOMY (e.g.: Toybox). Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme -- interesting how that web page actually also mentions Jetfire... could that be next?? (I doubt it )

I'd really love to see TakaraTOMY acquire the rights to the Beetras moulds and reissue the Deluxe Insecticons!

If the Deluxe Decepticons are release I woul be in line to get them. I dont really care for hunting down or owning the vintage figures since they are expensive and mainly side characters in the fiction (as far as I know anyway) but as retail priced Takara reissues, they would rock.

From the pictures it looks like a story on how the G1 TFs got upgraded into Classics and then it goes on to tell a summary of the full G1 continuity story including BW and BM.

What I found interesting is that in the second page it looks as if they are showing us the outlines of Classics line Transformers (Prime, megatron, Hotrod, Starscream) but another one appears to be some sort of beast mode!

Its probably just telling us that TFs can disguise themselves in a variety of alt modes rather than and up and coming Classics Beast mode.

Ep 6 explains the beginning/origin of the Beast Wars.
Ep 7 explains multiple TF universes/realities.
Ep 8 explains the multiple continuities/realities of Transformers.

ps. what or who are the Blentron??? in episode 4

They are Heralds of Unicron as originally seen in Beast Wars Neo and Beast Wars The Ascending.

Lets hope they do a shockwave, or can find the mold from whoever had it originally
