Two packs Verses sets
OCTOBER
(2) Dozer Master (Icepick) Vs Air Master (Skyhammer)

(3) Tank Master (Heavytread) Vs Marine Master (Undertow)


(Translating the katakana into English equivalent wording is always fun... you have to keep slurring the syllables enough just to make out what English word they are aiming for - like "Dozer Master" from "doosaamasutaa" or "Air Master" from eaamasutaa. Tank Master was easy though (tankumasutaa), as was Marine Master (marinmasutaa) I think I should have a few drinks first to help work these out in future. )

Random thought... there's history of five-part combiners being mighty ancient beings from Cybertron's past whose individual limbs have no personality (see Energon's Maximus beings). So perhaps these new lot could also be mighty ancient beings. Perhaps some of the lost Primes? Some of the original thirteen Transformers even? Grimm Master Prime is the prototpye beast Transformer, Race Master Prime the prototype autobot car transformer, the prototype Constructicon transformer...

Oh great, now Seibertron's getting into the habit of mistranslating the "Do Not Circulate" kanji as "All Rights Reserved."

If the did EX-06 ?? Master Prime (could be unchanged? Steamhammer & Constructicons) in G1 constructicon colours, i would be all over this

That's not Seibertron adding "all rights reserved". The Asian blog, or their source added it, the Asian blog source has it before Seibertron mirrored the images.


On the topic at hand though, that Asian source has the two November 5-packs named (which tfw2005 noted, but not seibertron).
Steamhammer's set is Build Master Prime
Crankcase's set is Assault Master Prime

But going back to my comment about trying to translate and then convert to actual english words... the Asian blog is calling the "Dozer Master" - "Dozen Master". I know Icepick isn't exactly a (bull)dozer, but it is a construction vehicle, so it makes more sense than "Dozen Master".
(funny thing though is that tfw2005 reprinted that name without querying it, or even translating it themselves to see if it was an error)

I love the look of Race Master Prime. He does sound like a bit of a Nazi, though.

Tank and Marine Master set is bought.

[Quickstrike]

They're the same price as Masterpiece Sideswipe. Hmm.

I kind of want the Marine Master set just because I never saw Undertow at retail.

Seibertron have mirrored those ehobby images here, making it easier to see them all in one place... but get those sunglasses on, because there are some bright colours being used on these "Robots in Disguise"
