- Generations Selects King Poseidon (Piranacon) – A new great shot of the combined form of the Seacons (gray prototype), and some shots of the colored samples of Turtler (Snaptrap) and Gulf (Skalor) in all their modes.
- Super 7 Super Cyborg and Wakuwaku Keshi Figures – Super 7 products have made their wave into Japanese shelves. We have images of the Super Cyborg Optimus Prime and Megatron (in all their variants) and the small and fun super-deformed G1 figurines of the Wakuwaku Keshi Surprise line.

Brian Flynn on Instagram: “The new issue of Figure King from Japan is here! @super7 is featured not only on the cover, but we have 10 spreads inside all about us and…”

Has it only been that long? I had it in my head that it was shown in November 2018 for some reason.

It's only been a little under 7 months since Armada Prime was shown. MP Hound has taken ~18 months from reveal to release. I wouldn't assume it's cancelled.

It's just speculation at this point, but it's based on us going almost a full year with no updates.

So, why exactly was Artemis cancelled?
lord ginrai
Meh, we'll get info when we get it. Possibly at the All Japan Model & Hobby show on September 28-29 or Tokyo Comic Con on November 22-24.
No reason at all to believe it was cancelled.

Wait, where is this stuff about Armada Prime being canceled? I need to know, because goddamnit that character is an important piece of my childhood and I was willing to shell out STUPID money for that.
samisham
There's been no confirmation, but the prospects of that Armada Prime seeing the light of day are grim.
MegaDolrailer
Wait is it really?
I feel like they wont pass on such a popular character but it has been a while since they showed it
These kinds of toys are popular in Japan tbh
samisham
I have seen that and it looks awesome, however, I am concerned about the super pants because those silhouettes we got didn't look all that great.
THE-TRANSFORMER
Wait, so is the super cyborg Megatron from super 7 getting a different release in Japan?
Here it looks like he has a solid chest where as the US release has a clear chest, correct?
I'd take the solid chest piece please. That's the only thing that's held me off purchasing it so far.

What\'s up with that Soundwave?
bearytrek
i like those decoy-esque figures a lot!

Hence “moved.” ITS A CONSPIRACY!
RoboW4rrior298
I’m sure they confirmed it’s not part of Siege or Selects and is its own thing
Bravemaximike
Man, I really can't wait for Rumble and Ratbat.
But it looks like Rumble's face is always exposed, even in "tape" mode?
On a side note, is Siege Ratchet out yet?
Flash1087
Ugh god, now I do too! I really hope Fire Convoy gets around to getting an MP someday, he placed surprisingly high in the poll that brought us Star Saber so I don't think he's totally out of the question.
Also, y'all Armada fans gotta calm down, Takara does this a lot. Just because we haven't seen anything other than the early greyscale version doesn't mean jack, he's just clearly not being prioritized over other figures right now. You'll get your fancy new Superpants Convoy way sooner than I'm gonna get a Fire Convoy, and everything will be fine.
I'm happy to see all the Super7 love in this issue. I have got to start buying some Keshi Surprise figures, I used to be obsessed with Decoys as a kid and these scratch that exact same itch for me.

Can anyone tell if Rumbles head is slightly turned in that picture? I'm trying to determine if it has head swivel capabilities etc.
To me it looks like his head it slightly turned at an angle indicating head swivel but its heard to tell, can anyone confirm?
SuperTitanHans
Pure speculation: Armada Prime is being moved to part 2 of WFC.
SPLIT LIP
Really bummed Armada Prime is seemingly cancelled. It looked incredible. That and those BB movie models were some of the hypest non-domestic things TF for me.
