Both Alfes2010 and Autobase Aichi have posted images from the final episode from the Transformers Go! DVDs. For those of you who have forgotten, the show is split into two parts, the Samurai Team and the Shinobi Tea, and have been available exclusively as free cover discs with the Japanese hobby magazines TV Magazine and TV Boy.  The  series consists of 8 episodes, for for each branch, with the final part seeing the combination of Optimus Prime, Kenzan and Gekisomaru.

For those following the Fan-subs by TV-Nihon, they remained stalled having subbed the four Samurai team episodes and the first two Shinobi team episodes.

Takara-Tomy Transformers designer, Hisashi Yuki, has updated his twitter feed with more new images of the upcoming Transformers Go Optimus EX Prime.

The latest Transformers Go! episode has featured the debut the "new look" Optimus Prime quad-changer. Optimus EX Prime, as he is known, can change from a robot into a bullet train, a dragon and can combine with either Kenzan or Gekisoumaru. Within the episode he arrives back on Earth just in time to face off against the Predacon Oni leader, Great Dragotron. You can view soem images below that were captured by nakigao_san and posted on Twitter before being shared around by Planet Iacon.

Autobase Aichi's own Snakas has tweeted two new images of a black repaint of TF Prime Hunter Prime as the Decepticon Nemesis Prime which show that this black recolour will have a Decepticon insignia as well as coming with a new head sculpt.  You can view the images below.

Following on from the news we broke yesterday images have been posted on Twitter and the image sharing site TinyPic from a recent TakaraTomy product catelogue which shows the first actual toy images of TG-25 Black Lio Convoy,a recolour of Thundertron / Leo Prime but with two new swords, and TG-26 Optimus Prime, the quad-changer gestault Transformers Go exclusive figure.  You can view the images below.

Earlier this month Big Bag Toy Store posted a new listing for a Transformers Go! Optimus Prime figure which was reported to change from Robot into a train, into a dragon as well as combining with Kenzan and Gekisomaru.  No image was available of the figure at that time but now, thanks to a Japanese Gaming event, 4gamer.net have posted an image which includes the first real look at the upper body design of the figure which appears to come with two swords.

eToys Japan and various over Asian retailers are reporting via their websites and Facebook that TakaraTomy are going to be releasing a brand new Optimus Prime figure as apart of the Transformers Go! toy line number G-26 and released in Jan 2014.  The report, which can be seen below, states that Prime will be a triple changer transforming from Robot to Dragon to train and will also combine with both Kenzan and Gekisomaru.

Transformers Go! G26 Optimus EX Prime by Takara Tomy. This is a Japan original design that combines with G01 Kenzan and G05 Gekisoumaru together. On its own it is a triple changer that transformers from robot to train to a Dragon. With light and sound gimmick... Pre-order releasing in Jan 2014.

The listing seems a little odd as, thus far, there has been no clue to Optimus Prime taking any action within the Transformers Go! series, other than brief appearances within the first four parts (Samurai 1-3 and Shinobi 1), so treat this as a rumour for now as no pictures are currently available and there has been no official confirmation for a toy who will supposedly be released in just a few months.

The official TakaraTomy Youtube channel, Takaratomychannel, has been updated with episodes 2 and 3 of Transformers Go: Samurai Team.  The episiodes are not subtitled but if you have not yet seen the episodes, which are available with subtitles else where, then go check them out.  The simplistic stories continue with more time jumping and inclusion of famous Japanese historical characters.

TakaraTomy have announced that they will be producing limited edition black versions of Transformers Go Kenzan and Gekisoumaru.  The figures are suppose to be powered-up thanks to the "Black Regency Disk".  The figures will be store exclusives with Gekisoumaru being released in early November as a Ion Toy Department exclusives (though he will not be available in all stores), where as Kenzan will be a Toys R Us exclusive and will be available nationwide in mid-November
