Initial information on Gundam Extreme versus is out now care of their official website. Check out their website now to find out the basic controls, available Mobile suits and upcoming events. Based on what I understand, the game will be an arcade game so chances are we would not see the light of day of this game here  in the Philippines lest they translate it to English (please do!) or make it a console or PSP game.

Here is a rundown so far of other available information from their main site:

- The basic controls involve just 3 main buttons – other moves are initiated by combining button presses

- Press all three buttons to unleash an extreme attack

- Mobile Suits from 13 different series/side stories are available

- Based on the site, 23 Mobile suits are available upon initial gameplay

So far these are the details on this – I really hope we get a taste of this here in the country!

While waiting for Gundam 00 the movie and Gundam Unicorn OAV, Gundam fans can re-focus their attention to their latest anime: Gunpla Builders Beginning G. This was announced a few weeks back in the official site of Gunpla 30th anniversary.

Gunpla Builders Beginning G - New Gundam Anime

Now based on the preview and title, we can expect to see a lot of our favorite Mobile suits in action here modified by characters in the Anime. GPB X-80 Beginning Gundam is the main characters mobile suit. And as seen in the preview, Beginning Gundam gets to do battle with RX-93 V2 Hi Nu Gundam GPB.

Both these mobile suits will come out as HG 1/144 kits this September as announced in Ngee Khiong’s blog.

For now check out the preview of Gundam Builders Beginning G:

After Transformers Human alliance Barricade was released, Jazz was announced right after. Barricade hit the shelves a bit earlier and was priced by several toy stores at 2700 and above – slightly more expensive than other human alliance transformers that came out earlier, namely Sideswipe and Bumblebee.

This is the same story as well for Human Alliance Jazz, which seems to be a rare commodity as well. I only saw one H.A. Jazz in all the toys stores in Greenhills. This was in R-toys.

So if you guys are looking for Jazz here in the country, than quickly march to R-toys in Greenhills and grab this Transformers Human alliance before somebody else does! He he he!

Visit the r-toys site for pre-orders or to check whats the latest in their toy shelf! For the meantime, check these images of Jazz fresh out of the r-toys shelf.

I posted before about Leader class Transformers Starscream making its debut in the Philippines during the last Toycon at SM Megamall. A few weeks after, leader class  Starscream was also available at a number of toy shops in Greenhills and was being sold at around 2800 – 3300 pesos.

ROTF Leader Class Starscream

The movie version leader class transformers – hunt for the Decepticons – had favorable reviews from optibotimus and GenZhao based on their YouTube review.

Based on what I have seen so far, I like the figure as well except for the paint. I just don’t like the tiger stripe black on the body of the jet – but maybe it’s just me. Well, thanks to some great transformers collectors out there, I was able to see an alternate color scheme for the toy and I have to say it was smoking hot! woot!

Here are some of the pictures of leader class Starscream I took from a toyshop in V-mall Greenhills – I forgot to ask who made it though. Next time I will make sure to post the owner of the figure and probably link to his blog for other cool works!

After armoring up with Jetfire parts in Transformers 2 – looks like Optimus Prime is going back to his roots in Transformers 3 by giving Prime his trailer! Based on the initial images and videos released in transformers.com we see Prime with his all too familiar trailer.

As a fan, I am extremely excited with this but as a consumer, I can be sure that this will mean that the new toy will cost an arm and a leg lol! Beyond that, I hope the trailer of Optimus Prime in Transformers 3 will be more than just storage for the other autobots but something like an armor upgrade to “weaponize” Prime!

Here is the image of Optimus Prime with the Trailer on tformers.com:
