Diving deep into the Transformers 40th Anniversary goodness today, we're taking a look at those little Transformers buddies from Japan, that we have looked at before.

Takara released a bunch of 15th Anniversary G1 Convoys, including that Lucky Draw with gold chrome grill, smoke stacks, tank and wheels that I'll never find, or be willing to pay the $1,000s it would cost, if I did. - Read the Full News Story
