Cybergundam of Toyskingdom.com.hk has posted a scan from a japanese toy magazine of two new Transformers Movie figures, exlusive to Japan. They are clear plastic versions of the Optimus Prime and Starscream protoform figures, released as preview toys of the Transformers Movie toyline back in May of this year. The figure will be available to attendants September 18th-19th at a cost of 3'000 yen and are exclusive to the C3 Hobby Convention in Japan.

The fiery detailing on the front, that I get. But clear? The hell? Doesn't seem to fit.

I like the clear idea but the orangey yellow on th4e front has to go. I know its suppose to be the entry flames but it looks like crap. I doubt hasbro will make these.

Personaly, I realy like these, but I am hoping some rubbing alchohol will take the orange off :-? .

Also, is it just me or did they retool StarScream alittle?

I was wondering, 'Could anyone make these toys any uglier?'
Now I have my answer!

they are neat and good as a con exclusive but kinda pricey after you pay for the import.

Will be nice to watch for if the price is still reasonable.

I don't know, as a Protoform they look kinda neat to me. I think the existing ones have awful color/paint schemes and these ones actually give some life to the toy.

Wow. Crazy cool. You won't see me shelling out for 'em, but they're still kinda trippy lookin'...

The entry modes look more like comets (like in the movie) now, but the robot modes just look silly.

Clear Rockformers...
Translucent-ness kinda suits these figures, makes something somewhat decent about them.

Man, I need that protoform Prime, it's looks awsome in clear plastic with the re-entry damage! The clear plastic gives it a cool alien-look, he would go perfect with the rest of the movie cast!

Of course, I'll never get it since it's too expensive and I have no means of acquiring one.

Yay.

Exclusives,Exclusives,Exclusives..........They're goin a little overboard with all the constant exclusives!

Those would look cool in front of my lava lamp.

I actually like the Protoforms... But this is not a good look for them, at all.
Re: New Images of Japan-Exclusive Clear Protoform Toys (241502)

I'm going to have to try and get me each of those...especially Starscream...

I actually liked the original protoforms but these are awful, they look unfinished. I suppose there are completists who will buy these.

what's the point of clear figures?

Invisibility is the only reason I can think of, but even that is pushing it.

I was severely underwhelmed by Botcon Mirage and his "invisible" look, these protoform exclusives dont fare any better with me.

Not too bad in my eyes, but I won't be getting them.

They were hardly in the film and they get this kind of exclusive treatment! BIZARRE!

look like they may have done some minor remolding as well.
I think they look great

While I think the standard space turds are pathetic... I really like those - the translucent plastic just suits these figures, Prime looks best.

I'd so buy that Prime, and maybe SS too :-?
Re: New Images of Japan-Exclusive Clear Protoform Toys (242290)
Posted by Toyotus Superion on July 25th, 2007 @ 4:05am CDT
Yet another remold. And another bunch of fans willing to buy them. And then we wonder why they dont release new molds? Why should they if we're willing to buy re hash turds! Those things look retarded in robot mode. C'mon hasbro. how bout making something that was in the movie, like a prime with his arm blade!? Or a CORRECT movie megatron!?

I actually like the original Protoform toys (I've got myself a Protoform Starscream on lay-by at the moment with a bunch of other stuff, and I'm keeping an eye out for Protoform Prime). I wouldn't want any more molds of them, but the concept was cool enough to warrant an Autobot and a Decepticon for them. Well, okay, maybe a Protoform Bumblebee as well *shot*

*Inexplicably gets up and continues typing*

Unfortunately, the colour scheme on these new ones (or maybe it's just that they're clear plastic, I don't know) really makes them look hideous. Japan can keep them.

the normal protoforms are bad enough - these are the worst things I have ever laid my eyes on.
