Not a whole lot new this time, which seems to indicate that Galaxy Force is indeed starting up its wind-down in Japan. (Though Cybertron's barely started here - this should be interesting come Christmas...)

For the 'news', we've got the first 'public' release of Primus' picture, and first 'good' scan of Arm Bullet.

Really looks like Cybertron's going to have to pad out very soon after all, particularly at the basic and deluxe price points...

While I hope that you're wrong but I have to admit it looks like Takara has reached the "Unicorn/Powerlinx" Battles phase with GF which means the rest of the line is basically a lot of
repaints and a couple of redecos.

But then again who knows?

I got 10 bucks that says that Primus is going to be a redeco of Unicron.

We already know he isn't, so thanks for the money.

Now, are the Primus pics linked the 3D model ones, or the actual prototype toy ones? If they're from the actual prototype, then damn, that looks sweet! We actually have a planet instead of a deflated basketball for a Transformers toy. I mean, honestly, is it me, or could they have put in a little bit more effort in the Unicron toy to make it actually LOOK more lika a planet? True, Primus has those little pegs that prevent him from rolling around on your shelf, but at least it isn't a nearly-flat area like the back end of Unicron's planet mode is.

Other than that, the toy looks fantastic, A friend of mine even commented that it looks like a McFarland toy or something.
Weakness is strength.
Ignorance is knowledge.
Death is life.
For there can be no strength without weakness...
No knowledge without ignorance...
No life without death...
And no light...without darkness...

Arm bullet is a nice improvement. He kinda looks like a half tank/half race car.
