TV-Magazine (テレビマガジン Terebi Magazin or "Televi-Magazine") and TV-Boy (てれびくん Terebikun "Televi-Kun", note the different kana used) are the two main boys' magazines that Transformers appear in. Being boys' magazines, they're filled contemporary TV series and movies for younger boys, including Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and others.

Yup, and even then most werent overly drastic.

I got Movie Advanced Hound Slog, Snarl and Black Knight Optimus Prime because I really liked the superior coloration of the :TAKARATOMY:

versions. And I'm still thinking about getting their AoE Scorn even though my TLK Scorn is already on the way.

Previously, TakaraTomy has offered the Temenos Sword and the Gold Vector Shield. Now, we have news of some new promotions!

Starting September 16th, any shopper that buys more than 2000 Yen (about $18-$19 USD) worth of Last Knight toys in participating Japanese stores will get a DVD containing the stop-motion sequences and transformation videos TakaraTomy has created to promote the movie line.

Come the month after, and we're back to vacuum-metalized accessory giveaways. In October, another 2000+ Yen purchase will get you the Bronze Calibur Axe, a presumably bronze version of the axe included with the TakaraTomy Calibur Optimus Prime, which is based on the axe that Prime wielded in the Dark of the Moon film. In November, spend another 2000+ Yen and you get two weapons: Optimus' Gold Temenos Sword and Megatron's Gold Battle Axe. Apparently Megatron prefers more blunt (and somewhat inaccurate) names for his weapons.

Check out the promo poster below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

If you spend about 3,000 yen at Toys R Us Japan (i think), you get a cardboard display diorama (a piece of folded card and a metal support, displaying computer graphic readouts out stuff like that). There's a circle/crosshairs in the middle of the "floor" used to position the toy to stand on.

Has this been posted as news? If not, then I'll take pics and submit them. Please pm me or reply to this post and I'll do it asap

Please do send along some images! It's easier to reach us by email or the contact form, rather than wait for the boards to be read at busy times.

Any comparison shots between the :HASBRO:

TLK Leader Megatron?

Ok, I'll take some photos of the cardboard diorama later. I don't know for sure if it's for 3,000 yen, as my girlfriend got it for me. I'll ask her before uploading it. I'll probably pose a few TFs on it to show the scale, too and they too post a fairly "scan" line set of images so others can hopefully make their own version.

Also courtesy of Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, we have a look at the Transformers section of Figure King magazine, issue #236, with the predominantly Takara Tomy TLK lines. Featured in the scans are the big Dragonstorm in both TLK 30 and TLK 31 versions - check it out below.

Leader class Prime sitting on the simplified Dragonstorm looks pretty neat.

It was announced on 7net.omni that Takara Tomy has made available this special Clear Voyager The Last Knight Optimus Prime. We have posted the images below so that you can have a look at this super cool figure. This offer is only available to those in Japan starting 12/13/17 who purchase any of the following:

I don't usually like clear plastic figures but damn that looks pretty good and STILL more accurate than Hasbro's non-clear version in terms of flames.

Another Japanese exclusive has surfaced via Dengeki Hobby and the Snakas blog, for the Takara Tomy Transformers TLK line for The Last Knight: a giveaway campaign featuring a Bronze Calibur Axe for Optimus Prime! Available with a purchase over 2000 Yen on Transformers products in certain stores - though we currently have no other details, but we do have a tease of some further accessories for both Megatron and Optimus in the images below!

Axe is nice but what good is future give away there doing with prime sword and megatron sword both figures come with those swords who will spend more fifty dollars on figure to get same weapon for prime and megatron with new paint add to it I'll wait for third party do it cheaper alternative or shaoeways

That "ghost" Optimus look BOSS as hell!
I'm sure it will pop up on Mandrake eventually, but it will be expensive for sure.

The Takara Tomy YouTube channel has uploaded a new video featuring the two leader class figures from their The Last Knight TLK line - Optimus Prime and Megatron - plus Japanese rappers ACE and 掌幻... for the first official rap battle to illustrate the toys and their features! Check out the clip (in Japanese) below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub.

Can anyone translate the lyrics? If you could, that would be a big help. Thanks!

Oh snap! :shock:

Reminds me of Linkin Park as far as how the video looks. The aesthetic looks very 2003.

This rap battle is a new kind o f surreal

We have a pair of updates for you today regarding some Takara Exclusive gold weapons.

The first update comes concerning the Bronze Caliber Axe, the gold colored version of the axe that comes with Caliber Optimus Prime that was revealed over here. The axe is now available, and here is how you get it: go to Takara Tomy Mall, spend at least 2000 yen, and a Caliber Axe is yours! This information, along with an image of the bronze axe, comes from Snakas Blog.

The second update, also from Snakas blog, reveals that starting November 11, a second promotion will be happening where you can spend 5000 yen at Takara Tomy Mall and a gold version of Megatron's battle axe and Optimus' Temenos sword can be yours! The pair were teased in the previous story that you can see above, but here are finally shown in full.

Check out these new gold weapons below, and let us know if you intend to try to get one or all 3 for yourself!
