The company is ready to transform our lives by delivering a next-generation energy storage solution that boasts less than a 3% loss in energy transference and 0% loss in energy degradation.

The official Medicom Toy website have updated a listing with information about a new Bearbrick x Transformers Optimus Prime BAPE (R) Green.

These figures start out like cute, dumpy, cartoon bear versions of their classic selves, but like many a piece of Transformers merchandise – they transform into more traditionally proportioned robot modes. We had seen several other Bearbrick Transformers figures in the past, including G1 and Live Action movie inspired designs. It had been a while since we heard about any of these curious figures, but we finally have a new variant of the Bearbrick G1 Optimus Prime inspired by the green BAPE G1 and Masterpiece Optimus Prime we had seen before.

This figure will be out in August in Japan for ￥7480 ($67.70) and it will be a limited edition available via Medicom Toy website and A Bathing Ape shops in Japan.
