Takara-Tomy have announced that a new lucky Draw, a Gold Age of Extinction's High Octane Bumblebee will be given our after a draw on Twitter based around a Real-Robot Battle TV show

Nippon Television Network is running a program called "Real Robot Battle" - a show that pits teams and their home-built robots against each other. In Tuesday 2 December the finale of the show will air, with the winning team going on to face Optimus Prime himself in a special exhibition battle.  The contest, open to Japanese residents only,　is to tweet their predictions for which of the six competing teams will win the contest and see if they have the touch when it comes to facing the heroic Autobot leader himself!

On a Lucky Draw side, the gold Transformers Prime Optimus Prime figure was shown along with his microns.

Also shown at the event were Masterpiece Starscream, Soundwave, Sideswipe and Red Alert.  As we all know now, Soundwave comes with several cassettes but what was shown at the event was that Red Alert comes with "short-circuit sparks" which clip onto his head in robot form.

The famous Beast Wars II Colouring Competition prizes feature in one of these magazines.  These toys have only previously been seen in very low resolution images and no information on them was known before we picked up these magazines.

The article is a little confusing as the competition is to win a custom coloured toy based around your winning entry - however the toys shown (those believed to be the prizes) have already been made by Takara to demonstrate the idea.  This would indicate that these particular toys were not the Lucky Draw Beast Wars II Coloring Competition Prizes, but are purely mock-ups.  This would explain why they have not made it to the secondary market (eBay, Yahoo Japan or Taobao).

You also have scans of various Beast Wars Neo profile cards, images from Beast Wars Metals, Beast Wars II, Beast Wars II The Movie, Beast Wars Neo along with Microman (from Takara) and Dinozone (from Bandai).
