Temenos Sword available for preorder

I do want to get this Temenos sword, but the shipping BBTS charges kills it for me.

Not worth $30.00 in my opinion. Get this instead "Sword of Judgement" and cut the chain. All metal, more movie accurate and only $9.99!

preorders already sold out at BBTS anyways

10$? That beats the one Dr Wu made, and that one's just plastic, although hollow and sharp plastic...

I'm surprised they got any in the first place since they are only 1,000 in the world. They must have gotten a very tiny shipment of them to sell out so soon. Unless scalpers ordered like a 100...

Thanks to Autobase Aichi via facebook. We get a look at the official image of Transformers Movie Advanced AD-32 Stinger. We've seen this picture before but only in low quality images. Stinger is a repaint of the new Camaro Bumblebee. Check out the image we've mirrored below and remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

I think it was always assumed to have a new head sculpt.

I dunno about the new head sculpt thing, that looks like it just has the battle mask down.

ahh i think you're right. I'll update my post

Since the first pics were shown it was pretty obvious it would be a straight redeco of Bumblebee. We even hoped that TakaraTomy would give him a new Pagani car mode shell. Nope, no such thing.

Eh, I'll be getting him anyway, best we'll get. Not the first time the car model of the toy doesn't match the one on-screen (look at Dino). Again, I ask: why is it always the red cars that get screwed over?

Whateves dude

Boo! No new Pagani shell!?
I'd rather buy the One step because it is the ony Stinger toy to be a Pagani

It is cleverly painted to give it a new head sculpt type look.

i knew they wouldnt go through the trouble of making a new shell & head, but at least its not called cliffjumper.

A bit of a shame there's no new shell, but to be fair I reckon the costs of retooling him would be more than would be practical for Takara- he'd need most of his molds recut, to the point where he might as well have a whole new toy made for him. These things are pretty expensive to make after all. Kinda disappointed there's no new headsculpt though.

He looks nice in those colours mind you.

If Hasbro completed their prototype of Stinger, we likely would have gotten a Pagani re-shell. But they didn't, so we didn't.

Dissapointed. Trying to custom reshell is hard, so It's better to buy the one step

No biggie, it's already been established that Stinger doesn't have a new head. The battle mask is just cleverly painted.

It's still a very dumb way to promote what they have for sale.

Wow, MP Ultra Magnus' trailer is an amazingly good color match for Leader Optimus Prime, primarily with those blues. Funny how things work out like that sometimes.

Fellow Seibertronian and blogger hinesika has posted new in hand images of the Stinger figure from The Movie Advanced line by TakaraTomy. Stinger is a repaint of the Deluxe Class Camaro Bumblebee AD-27, and sports a cleverly painted Battle Mask to give him some distinction from his mold-mate. Take a gander at Hasbro's official Stinger bio!

If Bumblebee is the most courageous Transformers warrior, Stinger is the most devious. Built by humans and controlled by a shadowy organization, he is the evil counterpart to the heroic Autobot, a Decepticon spy programmed for sabotage and destruction.

We've mirrored the images below. And if you fancy, Seibertron's own Bumblebee gallery can be seen right here!

Must Haz!

He looks very good, and we really need more human made Decepticons. Any rumors about Hasbro making or releasing this Stinger?

Good pictures, I love the mold. The subtle canon arm and battle mask are very nice adds. Hopefully they won't abandon the movie toy line. I'd love to see more generations movie figures.

noctorro wrote:Any rumors about Hasbro making or releasing this Stinger?

Nope. Last BotCon, the group I was hanging out twith was told at the Hasbro booth that Hasbro had originally planned to produce a Stinger remolded from Bumblebee, but it never got past the prototype stage.

The AOE line is over for Hasbro. RID is taking its place.

I bought him. And just like Dispensor, I plan to display him in my classics collection as a brand new character.

honestly im a little let down. the lack of paint in car mode (lights/rims) is not befitting of a pricey takara import.

I dont think takara cheaped out. Its just that stingers rims were painted black in the movie so they went for that look. As far as the lights, thats the same way they were painted on bumblebee.

alright, you made me feel better about the rims. but the lights still bug me. and FYI, the "autobots united" BB had painted rims and lights, he looks stellar.

It looks like the Age of Extinction/Lost Age toys are unwilling to leave us, as a new redeco has shown up on Toys'R'Us Japan's website. Admittedly, we had heard of it before, but check out below some very nice shots of the TRU Japan exclusive Black Knight repaint of the AD-31 Armor Knight Optimus Prime, including shield and sword accessories, and the faceplate switch gimmick!

He looks so cool.BTW,he looks more like Nemesis.Just look at him and compare it with the LA power battler Nemesis Prime.

This Black Convoy is a sexy MOFO. I already have AD-31 so I gonna pass. However, if anyone dont have the AD-31 retool and are Nemesis Prime / Blabk Convoy lovers, this is a must buy.

shouldn't there be a 's' in Optimus?

Very pretty indeed. That backpack ruins it for me though.

OMG I need this... where do I pre-order? Also curious is he has an autobot logo?

Want.

That is an awesome repaint.

That's one killer looking premium repaint
I have the normal Leader so might get him if he's not to super expensive. He looks great.
I wish they'd do something with Nenemsis Prime in the next film.

I really don't know if i need this. It's a beautiful retool, but the red on the chest doesn't belong. I'll wait to see what HLJ prices him at.
