Having spent a few months and a lot of money acquiring back issues of TV Boy, TV Magazine, Hyper Hobby and Comic BomBom, we are very excited to be able to confirm the existence of a previously unreported Lucky Draw Transformer. The figure was given away in the December 2007 issue of TV Magazine and was limited to just five pieces. The toy is a gold chrome version of Transformers Movie Protoform Starscream.

As it the norm with TV Magazine end-of-year draws, lots of toys were given away in gold chrome and plastic versions. There were three Transformers figures included in the draw comprising of a gold chrome Voyager Optimus Prime (limited to 3), a gold chrome Protoform Optimus Prime (limited to 5) and the gold chrome Protoform Starscream (limited to 5) mentioned above.

The Voyager Optimus Prime figure had previously been seen right here at Transformers At The Moon and LuckyDrawTransformers.com, though we believe that the version of the figure that we own is actually a testshot of the final production piece. The gold chrome Protoform Optimus Prime has not been seen before on the internet, as far as we know, although we did report its existence earlier this year.

The images that appeared in TV Magazine are not of the final production pieces, therefore there is currently no way of knowing exactly how the final pieces turned out. The figures would have been released to the winners in March / April this year, around the time that that Voyager Optimus Prime toy first appeared.

Following on from our exclusive Unreleased Transformers Universe Smokescreen toy gallery and his Minicon Jolt, posted earlier today, you will now find two more exclusive galleries featuring another unreleased toy, this time from the Generation Two era, as well as the Gold Transformers Movie Optimus Prime Lucky Draw figure (along with all the information known on this TV Magazine campaign toy).

1. Unreleased Generation Two Combat Hero Camo Megatron
2. Lucky Draw Transformers Movie Gold Optimus Prime (possible concept version)
   

If you run your computer at a resolution of 1280x1024 then you may be interested in downloading the below Lucky Draw Transformers wallpaper. if you don't have your computer in that resolution, then you may want to take a look anyway, for an extreme high-res image of the Gold Optimus Prime toy.

You will find three new image galleries in the Transformers In The Media section of Transformers At The Moon which include images from our Beast Wars II book which show the Gold Convoy and Red Convoy Lucky Draw Transformers toys. We've shown these images before, on LuckyDrawTransformers.com, but they were lost during it's migration to the current look.

The Yahoo Japan auction for the Lucky Draw Custom Colour Robotmaster Generation One Convoy has now ended in Japan. The auction closed at 191,000 yen, around $1900 and went to what appears to be a proxy bidding service. Sadly, for us, we did not win the auction, as the figure would have made a wonderful part of our Lucky Draw collection. It will be interesting to see who actually won the item, and whether further images of this rare piece are made public.

Thanks to Cobra Zartan for letting us know that AirWonderStories recently posted a photo album over at Yahoo Japan of the TV Magazine Lucky Draw Robotmaster G1 Convoy, which was a prize of a colouring contest. The figure was given to ten winners and this is the first time that the final toy has been shown, other than the two images published in the magazine.

You can view the images at Lucky Draw Transformers.com

TFW2005 member Peaugh has been sent some images of the gold chrome Lucky Draw Transformers Movie Optimus Prime figure. According to Japan based and Lucky Draw expert Hydraw, the figure was part of an end of year raffle through TV magazine along with a Gold Protoform Optimus Prime. Both of which were limited to 5 pieces. From the information received by Peaugh, it appears that the Leader Class figure was redrawn for at least another 10 pieces.

Über Transformers Optimus Prime collector, Ultra Convoy, has now finally made his website accessible to the public. For those of you who have not heard of Ultra Prime, he is a hard-core collector of all things Optimus Prim, including Lucky Draws, prototypes, testshots and those "very special items". For many, Ultra Primes the launching of UltraPrime.com wil be the first time you get to see the "made in Takara factories" clear trailer for the Takara re-issue of Convoy

For years Transformers fans visited the website of Elvin Pena, another well known collector, and who was generally accepted to have the most comprehensive collection of Optimus Prime / Convoy figures in the world. Well Ultra Prime has past the high standards that Elvin set with some truly remarkable pieces, and we encourage you all to drop by his site and have a look. The address is easy to remember, its just ultraconvoy.com.

Whilst in the mood for rare things, take a look at our own dedicate site www.LuckyDrawTransformers.com as well as the prototypes section at Transformers At The Moon

We are very excited to bring you an update to our Beast Wars Neo Gold Big Convoy toy image gallery. We now own the toy, the only one we've seen, and you can find images of the figure in all three modes as well as a few close-ups and comparison images.

We are still not 100% sure on the original of the figure? Is it a Lucky Draw toy which has previously not been documented? Is it a Takara staff item, such as the Green Lio Convoy, or something more untoward?

As a follow-up of our Tranformers Collection gallery posted this week, you can now find a gallery featuring our entire Lucky Draw Transformers toy collection (minus Black Tracks which we do not count) and a toy which is still in transit to us.

There are 31 Lucky Draw Transformers toys in total in our possession and this is the first time since Auto Assembly in which we have got them all out. There are more toys then where on display at AA06, so if you saw our collection then you may still want to have a look.

The latest two Lucky Draw Transformers toy galleries have been update for you tonight. You can now find lots of images of the following Lucky Draw Beast Wars Neo Transformers toys.

1. Blue Big Convoy - possibly a testshot
2. Black Magmatron

As we continue month long celebration of the 8th Anniversary of Transformers At The Moon which recently included the revamp of Lucky Draw Transformers.com, images of the Unreleased Generation Two Groove toy that we own (our 3rd Generation 2 Protectobot), followed by what was probably the worlds first galleries of the Unreleased Generation Two Megatron ATB and Unreleased Starscream toys and finally what we believe is the first image of the extremely rare Lucky Draw Beast Wars Neo Gold Big Convoy, we have updated both Transformers At The Moon and Lucky Draw Transformers with three images of the highly disputed Lucky Draw Black God Magnus figure. The images include robot mode, vehicle mode and Black Super God Fire Convoy mode. You can view the images here, at Transformers At The Moon, or here at Lucky Draw Transformers.com

The celebrations will continue, with two full Lucky Draw galleries, so stay with Transformers At The Moon and Lucky Draw Transformers for those

For a while there has been some confusion regarding the identity of the Bom-Bom Magazine Lucky Draw Black Lio Convoy figure. We ourselves had been some what confused with the different reports and information we had heard over the years. Finally we can bring a conclusion to the story, something we should have done years ago.

The Lucky Draw Black Lio Convoy toy is limited to 10 pcs. It features Blue Claws and can be clearly identified by the white writing on it's backside (bottom), in robot mode. The writing states the number the toy is (BL00 through BL09).

There are two known variations of the Toys R Us version of the Black Lio Convoy, limited to 5000. Blue claws (no writing on the toy) and Gold claws (no writing on the toy).

There have been rumours and listings of a Silver Clawed version, said to be the Lucky Draw version of the toy. This is false, the actual Lucky Draw version has blue claws. As yet we have found no evidence to show the Silver Clawed version of the Black Lio Convoy toy exists. If the figure does exist, then it will be yet another store exclusive version. as such we have removed the listing for this toy from our Transformers toy gallery area.

If you own a Silver Clawed Black Lio Convoy, please send us images.

The last few weeks have certainly been busy in the world of Lucky Draw Transformers. First came a few images of Blue Big Convoy and Black Magmatron at TFWorld2005 and Transformers At The Moon. Following this was the re-launch of the Lucky Draw Transformers website, and in the last few days various toy information pages have been added to that site, including some of the first images of a certain Beast Wars Neo Lucky Draw toy.

Now Day366 has listed two more Lucky Draw Transformers auctions on ebay, Blue Big Convoy (here) and Black Magmatron (here). Both toys are extremely limited, and hard to get. This may well be your only chance to own two of the Beast Wars Neo Lucky Draw Transformers toys.

If you're still undecided on these toys, then keep your eyes peeled for some timely new galleries due to hit Lucky Draw Transformers this week (tomorrow if I get the chance).
