Television Animation "Transformers Galaxy Force" Televising Start Information

The television animation work which corporation producing "Transformers Galaxy Force" broadcast to start in January 8th 2005 (Saturday) from television Aichi TV Tokyo Channel 12, LTD.

Announces to you a robot changing animation in which various vehicles, animals, etc. can change into a robot form & ready to fight.

Transformers series that entered the year of its commemoration called the 20th Anniversary. And by the end of this year, the 21st year aims to leap further for this new developed series in 2005.

"Transformers Galaxy Force" is the sequel of the animation work Transformers Super Link (North America title name "Transformers Energon") with which our company dealt with & will also begin to broadcast in North America in 2005.

"Transformers Galaxy Force" is a project which our company which now is investing the production & possesses the copyright of the series is known for "Yukikaze", "Gantz", "Samurai 7", "Last Exile", others etc. GONZO takes charge. A high quality CG is fully used and has a sharp motion animation I challenged for achievement for GONZO-Kids, it is not different from former expectation.

The Outline of a Work

The stage of the Transformers battles are various planets in the universe. A black hole which appears at the end of an intense Transformers battle and others fighting begins to be swallowed by a star & the universe has met the crisis of its disappearance/destruction. The Cybertron forces of justice led by Galaxy Convoy is the hometown hero of Planet Cybertron. While in order to protect the entire universe, they encounter the inhabitants of various planets, the evil forces of Megatron unfolds a fight. From a child to an adult, it is a work which can be enjoyed using the latest CG image of the new characters who appear one after another.

Please excuse my ignorance, my goddess. It took me more than half an hour to look up and double-check the names (the Katakana-Romaji transferrings posted at 2005 Boards aren't completely accurate, as evident with "Jet Rock". So I couldn't see your post while I was still checking the accuracy of certain pieces of information. :)

Some of the larger figures look good (that Prime will be my first big Prime since RiD), but some of the smaller ones look like Armada's come back to haunt us.

galaxy force for the win! They're some amazing looking toys - Starscream, the jetfire-esque mold, Blurr/hotshot-esque guy.. and of course megs - go the triple-changer!

I wonder if my fiancee would have any problems with putting off buying a house for at least another 12-13 months while I get lots of Galaxy Force figs? :D

I like that prime. Didn't like prelim pics, but this one looks good. Looks like Original Prime meets RIDimus in design. :up:

Like the jetfire looking one, the third guy in that same link rocks.

Third link: Hazarding a guess as to potential names . . . Scoop, Demolisher, Iron Hide, Minicons (! (I really like the hellicopter. they should call him bubblehead)).

Megatron looks kinda like a tool. Thundercracker looks a lot like the kind of basics I like to buy (assuming he is basic. although, I hope that long right arm's just a gun, and not attached. really can't tell in the pic). Starscream looks awesome.

UPDATE:

Once again, thanks to the Japanese TF Image Board, we got the first pics of The Microns' animation models as well as Galaxy Convoy's animation model and the show's kids, named Coby, Bud and Laurie.

All of the toys just look SWEET.

Anyone notice the resemblance to Megatron and the Batmobile? He's sweet anyway. Starscream is one of the best showing the MTMTE and WWI concepts oh and yeah Targetmasters are back.

Oh and whats with the dinobot and his clone?

I love all the designs!! Really good, especially the cons and prime. Only one I'm not too sure about is the one that looks like E Iron Hide.

Actually the Japanese cannot pronounce "R". So it in fact sounds like an "L" when spoken. The phonetic change would be "La" sound not "Ra" even though the character says "Ra".

i think dreadlock would be a cool name. but it seems kinda odd where they placed it. it seems it would fit better with an advanced grimlock
