Up first, we will share with you the first colored shot of their upcoming Furai model kit Devastator figure! This is a non transforming model kit similar to Gundam kits, and the kits have proven to be a really fun build so far. Devastator towers over the other kits, and is designed in a similar aesthetic to Attack mode Optimus Prime and Starscream. His concept artist was Akira Amemiya, whom we previously shared the concept art from.
Next up, the Furai model kit Bumblebee, which follows in those Prime and Starscream footsteps, is now fully revealed and has his pre-orders up! You can find his pre-order over at D4Toys, and other domestic online retailers will probably place pre-orders of their up within the next few weeks, as was done with the prior kits. Check out all his official images below!
And finally, the big action figure Star Saber, part of the larger set of Kuro Kara Kuri figures, is now also up for pre-order! This figure follows the prior Drift and Tarn figures, complete with many interchangeable parts, lights, and extremely posable. This Star Saber is designed after his IDW Version 1 counterpart, and will be able to combine with the upcoming Victory Leo figure to form Victory Saber. The D4toys pre-order can be found HERE, and domestic online pre-orders are probably to follow.

Bumblebee looks good too, though a jetpack AND helipack seems redundant. Maybe the jet pods are actually twin turboshaft engines (like you get on real helicopters)?

Dang, I cannot wait to own all 3 of these. Yes, I will get Star Saber. I really want to make that Victory Saber!

I like the design on Devastator as well, although I’m not keen on the whole “attack mode” or whatever they call that aesthetic, with the hyper-Anime-esque angular-roundness.
Bumblebee looks like a bonafide badass there.

They're doing a Drift kit so it's entirely possible for Star Saber to come later.

Also included in the update is a new photo of Furai Model IDW Megatron. We now know that he'll include an extra part for swapping faction symbols and even more surprising, an alternate head! Whichever way you choose to align him he's shaping up to be an impressive looking kit.
You'll also find an extra photo of the entire (thus far) Furai Model lineup which gives us a better idea of the Studio Trigger designed Devastator's size compared to the rest. Not quite as massive as we may have been lead to believe, but still a great looking kit. No further info on Windblade and G1 Optimus Prime just yet.
Moving to the Kuro Kara Kuri line of non-transforming action figures we're greeted with another look at the recently announced stealth Megatron, The Fallen, and Optimus Prime. We also get a look at the entirety of Prime's arsenal which appears to feature a pair of axes based on the one wielded by another Optimus Prime in Transformers Animated of all things. And to round things out we're treated to another look at Victory Leo and the complete Victory Saber. Still not colored, but you have to believe that's coming soon!
Did you find this update exciting or do you prefer your Transformers transformable? Sound off in the Energon Pub!

This is actually a very good idea for some future Furai Models.

I don't mean literally the exact same ones by Flame Toys, rather something with a comparable aesthetic.
I mean, it's easy enough to find clear plastic flight stands online, but if you're after something with a little more detail it gets very difficult indeed...

I would go for the Bandai stands that are used for the Gundam models. Very detailed (with similar details to the one shown on the Flame Toys models), great quality, and very cheap too. They should run for 5-6 $ on Amazon. The 1/144 scale or 1/100 scale ones might do the job for these. Hope I helped

Devastator ROCKS
Can't wait for Star Saber. That is a non-transforming transformer I really want, and Victory Leo. I wonder if Saber can ride Leo before combining with him?

I can forgive them because they are model kits that are heavily stylized. There are tons of Transforming pieces of Transformers merchandise, I'm good with some good non-transforming versions. They add some variety

Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on March 13th, 2019 @ 7:42pm CDT
with Thundercracker set for summer, I wonder who will be next? IDW Megatron, Hound, Devastator, and Skywarp all seemed to be around the same in terms of readiness for retail in the past few months, so I wonder when they are set to hit. I am ready for all 4 of those guys.
Also looking forward to seeing when we'll get the reveals of others in the concept stage like Windblade and G1 Prime
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on March 21st, 2019 @ 8:47pm CDT
This new model kit is the 7th model kit to be available for order, following their Attack Mode Optimus Prime, Starscream, Attack Mode Nemesis Prime, IDW Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Thundercracker. Megatron is based off of his appearance in the IDW More Than Meets The Eye and Lost Light comic book series after he became an Autobot during their Dark Cybertron crossover, an appearance that was designed by Alex Milne. The model kit will stand about 6 inches tall, and will be highly posable, though non-transformable, as is the norm with these kits.
You can find Pre-orders below from various site sponsors, with the price falling in around $49.99. Let us know if you are placing your pre-order below!

I think so, but 6 inches is the normal size for figures like Marvel Legends and such, and apparently model-building companies have started to join the 6-inch club

Pretty near it depending on the figure, though I'd be surprised if it's as small as 6" since these tend to be a little more than that. I just happen to have the first Prime kit on my desk and he's only a little smaller than Siege Voyager Megatron, by around a few millimeters, making it more like 7". I guess with all the dynamic posing they lose an inch.
