Via 三粒星星玩具屋 on Facebook we have images the latest Figure King Magazine. Issue #303 features a big Beast Wars special content plus information and images of the Rise Of The Beasts Mainline, Legacy, Studio Series, Masterpiece and much more.
This month we have 30 pages of Transformers content:
- Transformers Beast Awakening – The first pages bring us information about the upcoming Transformers: Beast Awakening (Rise Of The Beasts) movie plus images of the recently released mainline toys featuring the collaboration with Akiko Wada, and images of all the different gimmick toys.
- Transformers Legacy Wave 12 for September 2023 – Transformers Legacy continues in Japan in 2023 with the release of wave 12 which consists of TL-36 Core Thundercracker, Core TL-37 Nemesis Prime, Deluxe TL-38 Senator Crosscut, Deluxe TL-39 Crashbar and TL-40 Twincast.
- Studio Series releases For September 2023 – We have images of the Japanese release of the SS-110 Core Ironhide and SS-111 Dinobot Snarl. Keep in mind that Takara Tomy use a different numeration compared to Hasbro.
- Transformers Beast Wars BWVS-02 Stubborn Confrontation – Images of the Kingdom Rhinox and Scorponok 2-pack with premium finishing.
- Beast Wars Special – Several pages of special content related to the original Beast Wars cartoon including interviews, official art, images of the original toys, episode summaries, special “Behind The Scenes” of some of the new Rise Of The Beasts mainline toys, and the new BWVS-01 Eternal Beast Showdown 2-Pack (Kingdom Optimus Primal and Megatron premium finishing deco). A lot of material to see here and some of our member noticed something that was a nice surprise. In one of the “behind the scene” pages, we can spot an image from our very own unofficial Beast Wars scale chart. A very nice surprise for all 2005 Boards members that Takara Tomy used our scale chart for their official media. Thank you all!
- Masterpiece MPG Raiden – We have a new image of the gray prototype of this new Masterpiece combiner.
- Kotobukiya Bishoujo Transformers – Some new promotional images of the new Bishoujo Transformers Bumblebee as well as the previous Bishoujo Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Is this a sign that Takara is releasing the 1996 molds?
Night Flame
So many of those toys look underwhelming to me. I guess that's good news for the wallet, which has been bleeding profusely enough the last few years.
Mastermix
For real, the rest of the cast need the MP treatment. I am willing to settle on S1 cast as long as they get done. I want my boys Inferno, Rattrap, and Terrorsaur getting their official MPs. I even skipped on the Kingdom line putting my bets on having the MPs made .

Shush & enjoy these movie impersonators instead !

I read this comment in comic book guy's voice.

Wow. Takara Tomy is WAAY better at behind-the-scenes than Hasbro will ever be
BB Shockwave
Those sketches at the end clearly show the original designs for Cheetor and Airrazor were far more BW accurate, that is why the first 2 toys based on those ended up looking different (and IMHO better).
Pteraxadon
Why does scorpanok have hands instead of claws In beast mode
ScorponokIsHere
duh he turns invisible

Overpackaging. Lol.
There's a sleeve over the carton shoebox style packaging. And then a reversible insert inside so you can have the colorful classic JP BW style art or the black and white BW Again style art.

Where\'s Mirage?
Ganon2099
I never considered this. Thank you so much for asking this question. I'm sure Airrazor is a she but nice.
Pteraxadon
Is airrazor female in the Japanese version of the movie?
Primus00
saw Usopp\'s seiyuu who is also Rattle of Beast Wars.

It is interesting to me that in 30 pages of Beast Wars-related images, the BW MPs aren't seen at all (I can't comment on the written content as I can't read Japanese so don't know if they're mentioned or not).
The pessimists could see it as confirmation that TT have stepped away from BW MPs completely. But the optimists, like me, would see it more as TT whetting the appetite, clearing the path and drawing attention for an imminent BW MP reveal!
Goldimus Prime
Excellent!
Thanks @ScorponokIsHere & @The Happenin Rhinoceros for the clarity.

It's reversible. Like the Haslab Star Saber packaging.
