Also, Robot Kingdom has some pics of the expo-exclusives' packaging.

(Extremely rough translation)

C0IS Sentinel Prime

Role: Former Commander-in-Chief

Alt-Mode: Trailer truck

Abilities: Follow powerful support boat machines and fight on your own. In robot mode, Sentinel is armed with a rust cannon and laser axe. The Buggy-type ``Diro'' acts like a loyal disciple. The Zeta module is a mobile base for repair, reinforcement, and modification and It becomes a loader gantry.

Personality: He is a legendary leader who led battles in ancient times. He was fierce together with his fellow Autobots, but too much pride can be a disaster.

I'm on my way to the Tokyo TF expo. Anyone else going today?

No, but pick me up a TF while you're there, please.

No, but pick me up a TF while you're there, please.

Sorry, I've already left. I'll post pics of what I got from there later.

Transformers 'Don't Fight'.

At the event (Sanrio?) had cute, chibi merch for sale. I saw most of the stickers and stuff (which some of the Japanese girls attending seemed to like) but I didn't see the 'transforming' bags or cuddly toys there. As with most of the event items, visitors can buy them online here.

There's also a 'cute' (or annoying) promotional video.

Someone needs to put the audio from that vid over actual clips from MTMTE.
