Continuing its "Dramatic Capture Series" (the spiritual successor to the "Perfect Finish" series) Takara Tomy has posted a listing for the second of these sets. This set features redecos of Earthrise Optimus Prime, Studio Series 86 Jazz and surprisingly, Kingdom Mainframe!

Thanks to what is likely an accidental early posting, Amazon France has officially revealed the long rumored Studio Series 86 Bumblebee! This figure transforms into a Penny Racer inspired vehicle that seems to blur the line between being Bumper or Bumblebee, perhaps signaling a future redeco? Either way, check out the pics in the gallery below!

When Missing Link Convoy was released not too long ago many fans wondered if Takara Tomy would be following up with more figures representing G1 designs with modern day articulation.
