Popular Japanese pop-artist Akiko Wada has been nominated as a brand ambassador by Takara Tomy for the upcoming toyline Transformers: Beast Awakening (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts).
Ms. Wada is set to perform songs, produce YouTube videos, and be featured on various TV commercials to promote the latest toys.
She will not be the only brand ambassador for this endeavor. A new page on Takara Tomy’s official website hints that many other Japanese talents will join the ambassador project alongside Akiko Wada. A teaser image hints that at least 5 others pop-culture icons will share their enthusiasm for the ROTB toyline.
Stay tuned with TFW2005 for more info.

IKR? My first reaction on seeing the news was "She's still alive??" Older female celebs are kinda rare in Japan so it's good to see she's still going strong.

Yeah being in a household that frequently watches Japanese TV I know Wada FAR too well. The only thing she's good at doing is smoking cigarettes and explaining to the audience how to win at playing pachinko. I'm not sure why they're using her as a brand embassador… But then again the Japanese usually make odd choices for over the top commercials.

I’m thinking the same thing you can even see visible joints and also hinges on the hands which is usually for premium figures.

Well.. that was just Prime.
Like getting Robocop to sell fried chicken…. Wait, that actually happened.

MPM? When I first saw this it was 50/50 on if it was a MPM or the Leader.

Good theory. Close. But not 100% there.

That's what I'm feeling also.

I heard a theory that the Primal body that Akiko Wada was using could be based on the Studio Series figure. Based on the silver patterns on Primal's body, it isn't compared to the other released figures from the RotB mainline toys we got so far.
