Amazon Japan has put up lots of new images of the upcoming Hunt for the Decepticons Battle Blades Optimus Prime. In Japan, Battle Blades Optimus Prime will be the first entry into the Autobot Alliance series, which is the Japanese name for the Hunt for the Decepticons line. Other than the subline name change, it appears to be the same great toy that is set for a US release later this summer. Check out the new images for more views on the toy, including a look at the Matrix accessory that will come with this toy. Make sure you visit the Amazon Japan listing by clicking on the link above, where you will be able to zoom in and get a better look at the details on the toy. Of note is that these are images of the US version of the toy - according to 2005 Boards member Type-R, Japanese retailers have stated the Japanese version will feature the hooks from the forest battle sequence, and not the swords of the US release.

Also featuring new images on Amazon Japan are Insecticon, Human Alliance Jazz, and Black Buzz Lightyear. Buzz Lightyear has some clearer images of the toy's Headmaster gimmick, and a better look at the deco of this version of the toy. Insecticon and Jazz do not show much more than has already been seen on the previous images, although the new pictures are welcome as always, and nicely show off just how menacing Insecticon can look with those four arms of his.

Be sure to click on the links above to view the zoomable images on Amazon Japan, then come back here and talk about them on our 2005 Boards.
