As promised, the big one, this Japanese Magazine update includes what we believe are the first ever images of the five Gold Beast Wars Transformers Prize toys as well as the origin of the Lucky Draw Red Convoy figure.
You will find scans of TV Magazine from the 5 of the first 6 months of 1998 (the second half of the year will be available in the next 3 days). Follow the link below for the images that you would have never seen before.
These magazines include images of the Cardboard Convoy (Optimus Primal figure), Gold Convoy (Gold Optimus Primal), Gold Megatron, Gold Cheetor, Gold Rhinox, Gold Ratrap and Gold Dinobot. The scans of this magazine confirm their existence and explains why they have never been seen for sale. Also included are the campaign for Lucky Draw Red Convoy (not Burning Convoy), the Cardboard Lio Convoy figures.
For reference
- Gold Optimus Primal (Convoy) - limited to 10. 1 in a set of 5, 3 in a set of 2, 6 individual
- Gold Megatron - limited to 3 (only available in a set with Convoy)
- Gold Cheetor - limited to 1 (part of the set of 5)
- Gold Dinobot - limited to 1 (part of the set of 5)
- Gold Rattrap - limited to 1 (part of the set of 5)
- Gold Rhinox - limited to 1 (part of the set of 5)

Transformers At The Moon and Lucky Draw Transformers are proud to bring you the first ever confirmed images (that we know off) and information on the first Beast Wars Lucky Draw Transformers. The include never seen before images of Gold Convoy, Gold Cheetor, Gold Rhinox, Gold Rattrap and Gold Dinobot along with information on the release.
Steve and I picked this magazine up in November 2010, and I've only just got around to scanning and translating it .. and it was, to me, quiet shocking.

The text states the following prizes were available.
- 3 people would win 1 set of Gold Convoy and Megatron
- 1 person would win 1 set of 5 Gold Beast Wars figures, Convoy, Cheetas, Rattilus, Rhinox and Dinobot
- 6 people would win a Gold Convoy
The toys are actually referred to as "glittering".
This confirms the following figures
- Gold Convoy - 10
- Gold Megatron - 3
- Gold Cheetor - 1
- Gold Dinobot - 1
- Gold Rattrap - 1
- Gold Rhinox -1
For anyone who wants an original of this you need to purchase TV Magazine March 1998
For our "Lucky Draw Magazine project" this and the confimation of Gold Big Convoy are two of the three holy grails. We just have the colouring contest Beast Wars II to go.

You may remember a month or so ago we announced news that Paramount Pictures published details of a gold deluxe Transformers Animated Megatron figure. Well the page was pulled after four days of being online from their server and nothing was ever officially said again, that is until now as TakaraTomy have updated their own site with the same images and information on the competition which you can find here.
The toy will be officially limited to 1000 pieces, though like the Gold Animated Optimus Prime, more will be made

This is a hot of the press band new news story based on something that happened 12 years ago. As part of yet another haul of back issues of TV Magazine we've managed to finally pick up documented proof of the Lucky Draw Beast Ware figures. Previously only rumours have circulated regarding these, but now we haev full first hand proof of the toys, including images (though they are on yellow pages.
We can now confirm that in the March 1998 issue of TV Magazine the following Beast Wars prize draw figures took place.
1) 1x Gold Convoy + Gold Megatron
2) 6x Gold Convoys
3) 1x Gold Convoy, Gold Cheetas, Gold Rhinox, Gold Rattrap, Gold Dinobot
This is the first time that the Gold Beast Wars figures of Cheetor, Rhinox, Rattrap and Dinobot have been confirmed, as well as showing that 8 Gold Optimus Primals (Convoy's) were given out during a draw with only 1 Megatron (previously reported as limited to 3).
We will upload images to Lucky Draw Transformers and Transformers At The Moon in due course

Following on from their Lucky Draw Transformers Animated Optimus Prime Gold Version, TakaraTomy, Sega and Paramount Pictures are working together to produce the third Transformers Animated Lucky Draw figure (after Gold Prime and Silver Bumblebee) which will be a gold chrome deluÂxe Megatron.
Much like the Optimus Prime before him, the figure will be officially limited to 1000 pieces with the prize campaign this time running between 1st November 2010 and the 16th Jan 2011.
