TFsource let us know that today Takara/Tomy finally confirmed the release of the highly anticipated and predicted line of Generations toys! They will likely feature slightly different color schemes, metallic paint apps and new packaging. Pictures are supposed to come within a few days. The retail price in Japan is 2980 yen + tax (approximately $40 US). Check out the listings now available for pre-orders for Jazz and Optimus Prime. Read the Full News Story Here

Normally I would pay the $40 no problem but these are not worth the $40

Yeah, Takara Tomy is not offering much incentive to buy these. I have the Hasbro versions of them and they're barely good enough.

Huh, I know Shockwave is in the Japanese Arms Micron line, I kinda thought all of them would have been released in that line as well, would have been interesting to see how the Micron's would have worked with these molds.

Doh! I was hoping Takara'd release these as part of Arms Micron. (Jazz could of been a Stepper release easy. Optimus could of worked as Nemesis/Scourge/Black Convoy.)

Good, this improves the chances of Bruticus getting repainted in his correct colors if those two are being released in Japan.
