Transformers from Japan and America

As has been the case for many months, the end of the month sees the release of Transformers in Japan with eventual arrival of those items in New Zealand at the start of the following month - this month was no exception, and the parcel from Japan had a friend in the form of some American Transformers arriving a few days before hand.

From the USA, I decided to spend a touch more than local releases would cost in order to make sure I got my hands on Voyager Onslaught so I could form Bruticus and his wave mate Sky Lynx who (despite his flaws) still looks awesome in all three forms.

Arriving from Japan was the second of the five Masterpiece releases releasing at the beginning of the year - MP-28 Hot Rodimus (Hot Rod) who once again looks amazing and comes with a ton of extra accessories to recreate key scenes from Transformers The Move (1986).

Joining Hot Rod was another Decepticon from the Transformers Adventure Line, Megatronus (or simply Megatron) who is great to add to the small but growing line up of Decepticons (but who is completely out of scale with the much much larger Optimus Prime released in 2015).
