Tokyo Toy Show 2012 Exclusive Terrorcon Bumblebee

9:12 AM in Black Repaint, Bumblebee, Japan exclusive, Just Arrived, JUST BOUGHT, Tokyo Toy Show 2012, Transformers Prime

AM-Terrorcon Bumblebee, the AEON Japan score exclusive arrived last week! Came in a rather 'smallish'-box and compact figure - sharp matte black finish makes the toy awesome!  Translucent purple eyes and headlights and teal arms and legs complete the 'Evil' Bee look. Perfection. Story goes that Bumblebee was corrupted by 'Dark Energon' and thus it was too much for him to bear till his soul became dark and unrepentant! 

Oh hei! Another black/ teal Nemesis/ Terrorcon repaint for me to grab! 

More details and pics here!  and from Robotkingdom.com! 

UPDATE!! 
A recent Twitter pic from Takaratomy! @ TF YUKI! 

Wow. that's a beautiful black repaint. XD

Transformers Prime RID AM-15 Darkness Megatron (Official Images0 from Amazon Japan!

10:18 AM in ARMS-MICRON, Japan exclusive, Just Arrived, JUST BOUGHT, Latest Addition, Megatron, Minor Repaint, NOT IN COLLECTION, Transformers Prime, VOYAGER

UPDATED in box pics! Toy arrived, together with two Jet Vehicons sometime two weeks ago.  Very shiny....! 

In person his chromed parts, while random and looking somewhat rather 'unfinished' - only his chest and shoulders are chromed, It's actually quite tastefully done and serves as a collector-edition type toy.

Figure King Japanese toy/ hobby Magazine July feature! 

Takaratomy's rendition of the main Villain of the Decepticons from the Transformers Prime animated CG show is to be released sometime end of the month in July. Major differences from Hasbro version, is of course the addition of shiny paint apps, some neat stickers and TWO Arms Microns/ One a Bat Arms Micron- which transforms into a Scythe and Winged jet pack, and the other a standard Gorilla/ Arm Cannon. Price is approx USD $50.

WING SABER TOYZ SNEAK PEEK: DARK OF THE MOON VOYAGER-CLASS DECEPTICON GENERAL =SHOCKWAVE! DESTRUCTIVE FORCE!

9:36 PM in Cybertronian Tank, DARK OF THE MOON, G1 HOMAGE, Just Arrived, JUST BOUGHT, NOT IN COLLECTION, Shockwave, VOYAGER, Yet To Arrive, YET TO BE RELEASED

Hey there, peoples! Welcome to another blog post from yours truly WSX! I would like to kick off the month of April with another one of those pre-released Dark of the Moon Live Action Transformers movie toys which has yet to hit the mass retail market. As it is now pretty much confirmed and known for sometime now, the main villain from the third Transformers movie franchise by Micheal Bay- will be none other than the old Marvel UK comics/ Generation 1 stalwart- the one-eyed and commanding DECEPTICON  Military Operations Commander - Shockwave. Got him loose from a seller on Ebay, shipped last week and received this in the mail recently. Came packaged loose with bubble-wrap, but one hinge in his right sole to clip his legs in his Cybertronian tank mode went missing for some reason....methinks it was 'taken out' and smuggled from the factory..but it still transforms well, save for the small gap in tank mode. A slight peeve, but all in all happy and glad to finally receive him. 

HE IS TO SERVE AND GAIN FOR HIMSELF! 

''Throughout his incarnations, Shockwave is usually distinguished by a laser cannon in lieu of one of his hands and his distinctive face, which is featureless save a single robotic eye.^[2]

As the Decepticons' military operations commander, Shockwave's power is second only to Megatron's Army, and even that is disputed. His actions are carried out with the cold, brutal clarity and perfection one would expect of a purely mechanical being — his way is not that of blood lust, like so many other Decepticons, but rather that of a scientist attempting to solve a problem. And that problem is: how can he use his abilities to most effectively eliminate the greatest number of enemies? Unfortunately for the Autobots, it is rare that Shockwave does not find an answer.

Decepticon
Sub-group	Triple Changers, Voyager
Alternate Modes	AH-64 Apache/Gun emplacement/Cybertronian war tank
Series	Transformers film series
English voice actor	Daniel Riordan (Transformers The Game)

Unlike most early Transformers Shockwave was not modified into an Earthly form, and retains his Cybertron alternate mode — a 35-foot-long ray gun. He possesses the power of flight in both modes, and commands the totality of the electromagnetic spectrum allowing him to emit beams of energy in a wide variety of forms. His high energy output makes him particularly fuel inefficient, but radioactive fuel sources stored in the reactor in his chest can help Shockwave to overcome this problem. Although his logical brain center is usually an advantage, human adversaries often pose more of a difficulty to Shockwave, as more intuitive and emotional thought processes often confound him.

While the animated series established Shockwave as fanatically loyal to Megatron, Shockwave's original bio and most fiction since have described him as coldly and patiently looking for ways to overthrow Megatron, not for personal power (as Starscream would) but simply because it was logical for him to do so. Shockwave concluded that he should rule so that no emotion should prevent the DECEPTICONS from conquering the universe. This was retained in most comic books, where Shockwave became leader of the Decepticons.

Unusually for a 1985 (second year) toy, Shockwave was past in Transformers fiction from the first year, appearing in both the original cartoon pilot and 4-issue comic book miniseries.''

FINAL THOUGHTS: 

A decently made homage for a sinister DECEPTICON character,  he is definitely one of the must buy releases from the Dark of the Moon toyline when it officially hits retail outlets worldwide sometime in the middle of May 2011. Love his giant cannon, more menacing and a whole lot bigger and powerful from hos Generation1 predecessor.  It came in the usual flat grey plastic used to make his thighs, arms and shoulders...so to make up for the dull look, cue Gundam weathering markers for instant remedy! Repainted the after-mentioned parts, and voila! - Shockwave has not looked more menacing and better in person! Very highly recommended! A- for Voyager class size (slightly on the small side) but A+ on homage, colour--it's purple! and simple yet effective transformation!
