    Hobby Japan Web has published the Hi-Res images of the Bandai HI-METAL R ATM-09-GC as well as the sketches to the ATH-Q64 Berserga WP. The "HI-METAL R Brutish Dog" is set for release! Furthermore, design data for the Berserga has been revealed! Check out the option sets currently available for pre-order! [Armored Trooper Votoms] Brutish Dog Release Announced!! The Complete HI-METAL R V.O.T.O.M. Series: A Masterpiece Born from Refinement!! "HI-METAL," the pioneer of high-end, pre-assembled robot figures launched in the 1980s, has been succeeded by "HI-METAL R," and one of its main items is from "Armored Trooper Votoms." Starting with the Scope Dog Red Shoulder Custom released in 2024, there are currently eight models in the lineup, including those scheduled for release. like the HI-METAL R Scopedog (MELQUIYAN FORCES) unit too release in June. 　 The characteristics of "HI-METAL R" ATs are that they are pre-assembled and, as the name "METAL" suggests, they use metal parts to achieve reliable articulation. Furthermore, each AT comes with an articulated pilot figure, allowing for play combining the AT with a human. 　In addition, the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog, which was displayed as a reference exhibit at "TAMASHII NATION 2025" last year, has also been confirmed for release!! With the ATH-Q64 Berserga WP also in development, even greater expansion of the series can be expected in the future. For information on new HI-METAL R releases other than "Votoms," please see "HI-METAL R Frontline!" in the May 2026 issue of "Monthly Hobby Japan." Don't miss it!! ▲Rear view of the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog (painted prototype). The PRSP Mission pack on the back has markings. Also, spare magazines can be seen stocked on the waist. Compared to the HI-METAL R, ATM-09-ST Scopedog. The changes are extensive, including not only the colouring, but also the gatling gun on the right arm, markings, the mission pack on the back, and the gliding wheels on the legs. The ATH-Q64 Berserga WP was on display as a reference exhibit at "TAMASHII NATION 2025". Please note that this is only design data, and the specifications may change in the final product. We will report on the specifications, included figures, and other details as soon as they become available in "HI-METAL R Frontline!". So I take it we will have the official reveal for the ATM-09-GC Brutish Dog very soon! I also take it since it doesn't came with very many accessories it should be cheaper then most releases but the could add two versions of Fyana to make it interesting!? Really looking forward to the unit! 🤗

    I got my copy of the Valkyrie and Destroid Encyclopeida and while the book is great it is a bit light on sketches for my tastes. Which book would you recommend that has more focused on sketches and detailed drawings?

    Nice review on the G2 Dinobots @mikeszekely. To me G2 Swoop and Sludge always look out of place to me with the other Dinobots. I think a mustardy yellow or a muted purple would be a better match for the muted blue, green and red of Grimlock, Slag and Snarl. In your pictures Sludge doesn’t look that out of place. Could be that Hasbro muted the orange a tad or that Grimlock is cast in a too vibrant blue (to how he should look in my mind’s eye). The group of new G2 Dinobots looks too much like a hodgepodge of colors instead of a cohesive group.

    I enjoyed "Crime 101" last night (on Prime) and it's the best thing to watch until Michael Mann's "Heat" sequel is released. Top performances from the cast, Chris Hemsworth finds an interesting angle for his seemingly cliché character, and Barry Keoghan is an overachieving agent of chaos. But the movie's top stars are the score & cinematography. (Do not watch the trailer, it will spoil a few key moments)

    Damn, Matthew Rhys is so good already. Everybody go see him in "The Beast within" if you haven't. Trailer looks good, but my latest experiences on Apple+ were the trainwreck second season of "Hijack", and I had to bail out of "The last Frontier" for it's stupidity. And the upcoming "Cape Fear" looks bloated, with 10 episodes announced.

    Thanks for the Minibot pics @mikeszekely. I'll continue to collect the Retro G1 line. I wouldn't mind if a Huffer, Pipes, and Windcharger were released in that line with G1 toy heads. I wish Bumblebee from that line came with a G1 toy head. Looking forward to cartoon release Seaspray and Wheelie.

    I just realized that the guitar has the Matrix. Does this figure even have an Autobot sign? In any case I think I'm good with just the unofficial Transformers Crossover of FG-01 VF-1S God of Flame Jetfire.

    There seems to have been so much focus on Hatsune Miku (and ridiculing Bandai for it), but the Metal Build Expo at the Tamashii Tokyo store actually had a couple of other things on display. More close ups here: https://www.taghobby.com/archives/917926 Saint Seiya Omegamon Ikaruga. I have no background on this, what IP is this from – anime, game? And what's the story behind this particular mecha? Kiryu – damn this one looks awesome and I thought the SOC was already a really good proposition. And in case anyone missed it, Bandai also gave the first tease of HWS, but in classic Bandai it looks like it's going to be for the Hi-Nu Expo "blue" version. You are left for dead, if you only have the original one. Kämpfer is also getting a re-release in December.

    licensing costs on a maverick figure must have been too much

    Take the copy you got from Pulse to the Walmart where you found Wheelie. Tell them you don't have a receipt, but yours is missing a part and you just want to do an even exchange. Having worked for far too many years in retail, I can tell you that Walmart will just send it back to Hasbro, so Walmart doesn't gain or lose anything on it.

    Me, I loved the Yammie rainbow canopies. Something about those evoked motion, speed, and the sun in space. I kinda wish those made a comeback.

    I find that Takara is way too bright on most of their V.O.T.O.M. AT's, the Erdspinne (Dirt-Spider) is only slightly darker then the X-ATH-11C Order Buckler went it should be much darker! Bandai in most parts, adheres to the AT Colour guide that was published by Wave over 25 years ago, and is an excellent source reference material, in what colours should be used. the AT-Truck as well was way too bright then that was shown on screen for a brief moment.... It makes them too toy like, which was always a problem I had with Takara! While Bandai's colour matching in the Hi-Metal R line has been almost perfect! Although the (RSC) should be darker then the regular ATM-09-ST That's why I decided to take the newly released Scopedog and make it into my (RSC) since it's darker then the (RSC) that was released! I would recommend the AT Color Materials, that Wave published if you wan't a good colour reference! a quick shoot for reference....

    well, tinted-canopy is kinda moot issue since this item does not even have a pilot-figure in both the PR shots and the specs list: https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15598/?wovn=en guess it's a drone... 😂
