TakaraTomy have confirmed recent rumour of who leads their Fans Choice Masterpiece poll by posting the current top three standings onto their website.  Recently it was rumoured that Star Saber was beating God Ginrai (Powermaster Optimus Prime) only that is not exactly true as the current standings are:

1　スターセイバー (Star Saber)
2　コンボイ（超ロボット生命体 トランスフォーマー マイクロン伝説） (Convoy - Micron Legends (Armada))
3　ダイアトラス (Dai Atlas)

The popularity of the 2nd choice is probably going to be the most suprising around with Western fans, however the start of the "Unicron Trilogy" is the series that a lot of people grew up with.

The poll continues ...

TakaraTomy have posted a new in-packaging image of their Transformers Works Super GT Optimus Prime and Star Saber figures who will debut tomorrow. You can check out the new image below

Autobase Aichi have posted over 50 images of the Transformers Go! event which has taken place today at the Hiroshi Shinagawa Prince Hotel.  The event featured a toy display covering the Cybertron / Autobot leaders from the original Convoy (Optimus Prime) through to Transformers Go! (Beast Hunters) Optimus Prime.  Also shown at the event were the Alternity GT-R Convoy and Star Saber figures, leaflets promoting these two toys along with Fortress Maximus and Megatron from the same line and a GT-R Satefy Prime was also in attendance, or at least a cosplay.

You can view the images over on Autobase Aichi, on their Facebook page as well as mirrored after the jump

Summary

An underrated figure gets even better with a new black deco and massive Arms Micron blade! Powerizer Optimus didn't set the world alight due to a number of things, 1) Megatron looked better 2) The First Edition kicked butt 3) He had that hideous weapon and loads of horrible grey visible on him, but he was still a good toy that a lot of folks missed out on, hopefully this will rectify things with Nemesis reaching a wider audience. Coming with the obligatory sticker sheet Nemesis is primarily black and dark charcoal grey with the chest being broken up via the red windows and light grey border. It works very well, so well that you may chose not to apply your stickers, I prefer them applied as they add a little more detail and help bring out the red on his forearms more.

Articulation wise Nemesis is very capable with lots of ball joints allowing him to twist and turn into a variety of poses, he is also very well balanced which might come a surprise due to the large back pack made up of the trucks side panels. The Micron is makes a very cool weapon but not such a cool Micron looking a little like a pelican in its robot mode but I'm not displaying him that way and the blade mode is pure win!

Truck mode again can either have stickers on or off and it looks great, I've taken some pics with and without so you can check it out and make your mind up. I personally like the stickers on as it gives it that higher level of detail and contrasts well with the black, a really nice touch by Takara is the inclusion of 5 M.E.C.H stickers which you can place on Nemesis to your hearts content giving him that nice link to the TV show.

Overall he is a repaint so automatically becomes less desirable for some but he is Nemesis Prime, a character thats always been popular, we score him 8/10

Just when you thought the Alternity line was dead TakaraTomy have announced a retool of their Convoy figure as Super GT Optimus Prime.  The toy is the same base as the previous Alternity release only with a spoiler on the back.  The image is a little blurred but can be seen below.

Revoltech have posted a video slideshow, available on YouTube below, which previews their upcoming SciFi Revoltech #40 Optimus Prime DX figure. This latest Revoltech release comes withh the "Jetwings", a flight display stand and battle axe. Watch on for more.

3rd Party upgrade manufacturer, Meister Wing, who have already announced plans for upgrades for both Transformers Animated and Transformers Classics Optimus Prime have decided to go back one line from TF Animated and will be releasing an upgrade kit for Galaxy Force Convoy (Transformers Cybertron Optimus Prime).  It's not known exactly what will be in the kit, entitled GFC-01, as only the two images below have been released thus far.

The Planet Iacon have shared an image from weibo.com/botcon which shows some new re-colours of the third party Targetdoids of Optimus Prime and Rodimus in their Shattered Glass colour schemes from Botcon.  You can view the image below and can compare them to the original Botcon figures using our Transformers Toy Gallery section.

The Weibo page of tktf has been updated with a new colour image of the Super Deformed Convoy (Optimus Prime) that was previously seen in December 2010. So far there is no information on who is producing the figure, though it still appears that the toy will transform.  Our bet is this could be a garage kit for Winter Wonderfestival, which takes place this month in Tokyo.

YouTuber masainjapan2008 has posted videos from the International Tokyo Toy Show event that unveiled the Masterpiece MP-10 "new" Convoy figure.� During the unveiling the designers comments on how they really want to make a Masterpiece Bruticus figure!!
