Indeed there is. It was mentioned a couple weeks back, actually. A spokesperson for TakaraTomy said they were looking into a possible reissue.

I think the monitor on the Matrix might just be showing all the Autobot leaders, since that's what the images on the sides are showing, why Ironhide's there though, and in that cartooney art style, is beyond me. :-?

Good eye, bud. I like the display there. Also pretty happy to see Fort Max come back into the public eye. Hopefully the reissue rumors finally pan out.

Because that's the name, Nagoya Prime. Can't make heads or tails of the kanji however, but he is indeed a Commander (Shireikan). After some wiki'ing (which you all should do more often), it seems he's the mascot of the city of Nogaya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.

The Arms Micron version uses the Deluxe mold, not the Voyager one.

Like I said before, mascots of certain Japanese cities, according to TFWiki. The ones added are:

- Akiba Prime (for Akihabara, often shortened to Akiba)
- Kawasaki Prime (for Kawasaki, 3 different towns, most likely one being Kawasaki, Kanawaga Prefecture)
- Tachikawa (for Tachikawa)
- Umeda Prime (for Umeda)

All are Primes for the "Cybertron Satellite" promotion. All are mascots for each location of Japan they represent. They are all designed after previous characters, but are not those same characters they each resemble.

Hmm... all these are repaints of Ledgends class figures... im sure Takara would repaint the ledgends in these colours. That would be pretty cool IMO :D

Just looked at the latest reveal. Sapporo Prime looks to be based on Animated Optimus Prime.

Looks like Ratchet got some tiger in his tank. If these were to see toy form, they would probably be directly marketed to collectors I think.

Actually, if in plastic form, they would be repaints AND remolds w/ a few having new heads.
Since it seems you haven't read, these are Characters designed to represent a specific city in Japan.

I was not asking about the cities, I was asking what caused these repaints, if they are toys and if they would be remolds instead of repaints. Seems no one knows for sure. Nice job on reading a post, though.

the bottom one just makes me think of Date Masamune from Sengoku Basara

But im pretty sure they are just artwork and will not be made into actual figures.

also I've always been curious, who exactly is your avatar of RhA...
Re: Transformers Prime Arms Micron Retail Display with "Cybertron Satellite" & the Primes of Japan (1375450)
Posted by CrimsonPrime on May 1st, 2012 @ 6:09am CDT
That's because Sendai is founded by Date Masamune. The head is based on his helmet and eyepatch.

I want a toy of Sendai Prime! Assuming they never do anything with these designs, this could be a good idea for a custom project. It's freaking Murasame Date!

A series of Sengoku-Formers would be great.

It's Masamune Date xD. But I get your point. It would be awesome if Takara did some Sengoku-formers. Like turning Optimus to Tadakatsu or Megatron to Nobunaga Oda :D. That would be awesome-sauce.
