Snakas has posted his round-up of the contents of the Feb issue of Hyper Hobby Magazine and as part of it has announced a very interesting turn of events that took place at the TakaraTomy offices this year.  As part of an interview regarding Masterpiece Rodimus, the content of which is very similar to other magazines, Snakas reveals  that two photographs are shown of prototypes of the 1985 Rodimus figure that Takara Tomy only recently found in an warehouse.  The article then goes on to talk about that design, the concept and decide of the Masterpiece figure and what had to change during the design process.  Snakas does not go into a great deal of detail but instead urges people to go out and buy the magazine. We will keep an eye on out for scans of the article as it sounds like it will be very interesting.

In other content Transformers United is the main theme that the magazine focusing on, covering the normal releases as well as the e-Hobby exclusives though there are general images and articles on both Masterpiece Rodimus and the re-issue of Masterpiece Megatron.

Following on from the images we bought to you yesterday from the Jan 2011 issue of Hyper Hobby, thanks to ModXToys.com, we can now bring you full image galleries of the January 2011 issues of Hyper Hobby and TVBoy.  TVBoy AKA TV-Kun contains only two pages of Transformers related figures, but if you are a fan of other Japanese shows its work a look through.

The images can be found both on Transformers At The Moon and on LuckyDrawTransformers.com.

Thanks to ModXToys I am able to bring you some scans from the Jan 2010 issue of Hyper Hobby Magazine.
