By way of a Japanese image board we have a look at some scans from the December edition Japanese hobby magazines. The December 2012 releases from Takara-Tomy are showcased herein including the first two releases from the Transformers Generations 2012 series (Optimus Prime and Autobot Jazz) plus the next three releases from the Transformers Prime Arms Micron series (Shockwave, Leo Prime and Ultra Magnus). There's also a look at the Japanese release of Bot Shots - known as Becool - and the two Transformers GT releases, GT Prime and GT Saber, shown here in robot mode albeit in a small picture.

The big news though is we also have our first look at the Yodobashi Camera exclusive release Dark Guard Optimus Prime. All those who were disappointed that Arms Micron Nemesis Prime did not use the First Edition Optimus Prime mold will be pleased to know that this is your black recolor of First Edition Optimus Prime. He also features some gold accents such as on the feet and shins, and overall looks quite sharp as far as black recolors go.
