More Fan to Fan April Updates

Cool pictures of the movie Prime. So his head pops up when you push his chest and his gun flips into his hand. That's kinda cool.

There is also a new prototype pic of MP3 Soundwave.

actualy, im guessing thats not a prototype pic, but the white version. seems a little odd theyd go through all the trouble putting on the head paint detal on a proto.

Good job. I missed that one when I originally posted. I will update the story.

Thats cool, I gotta check with my import guy and make sure he's got my SneakerBots ready for me.

As for Rhinox, I love the big guy, but how many do I need?

I am not sure if this has been discussed before but the Takara version of Movie Optimus Prime (Supreme class) will contain die-cast.

Spiffing!

Nice looking pics, I never owned the Beast Wars toys, so I'm gonna get that Rhinox

Is it me, or does the proto-version of Starscream (Comet Starscream) look better than his final Earth version in robot mode?

I said the same thing in another thread.

Takara's proto screamer is the only bayformer that actually looks pretty good

I'm starting to agree.

Since when has the cab of the big rig battler looked like movie Prime? Has it always and I just have a bigger problem on my hands?

Interesting that the Japanese model numbers are referring to the Autobots as Autobots and not Cybertrons as they usually do. MA-01 for prime instead of MC-01...

We don't actually know if it's 'Takara's' yet, as the image is exactly the same as the one that was used on the back of the package for the U.S. release. It could be that they're just using an outdated publicity photo and the figure will be the same as ours.

Oddly enough, that head is the same one he had in the comics.

Yes, it is ironic. Some English words get adopted without translating into Japanese if they are iconic. I suspect that "Autobot" is used in the movie, so Takara used "Autobot" for the toys.
