Q&A with Vector Prime gets updates

Hasbro's Transformers website has been updated with a few 'interesting' questions for Vector Prime. They include:-

Q: Can Leobreaker combine with Optimus Prime?
A: Yes, and their combination forms the Savage Claw mode. It is truly a sight to behold!

Q: Do mini-cons have cyber planet keys?
A: No, but in some cases they can act like cyber planet keys and unlock powers of greater Transformers.

Q: Will Transformers Cybertron air in Australia?
A: Yes, in time, our story will be told all over this planet you call Earth.

Q: Is the cut on Starscream permanent?
A: No it is not. In time, the self-repair systems we all have in our Cybertronian bodies will heal it.

Q: What is Backstop's cyber key power?
A: It activates his ramming robot-arm - watch out!

Q: Do you love dragons?
A: Dragons!? Like Scourge? By Primus no! If all dragons are as ill-tempered as the fiery leader of the jungle planet, I would not like to meet any of them!

Q: Can you boogie down?
A: When I was a younger Transformer, I was able to participate in many more activities. We once had a mini-con that transformed into a disco ball, but that was a long time ago.

Re-Issue Pepsi Promo Convoy on e-Hobby

Part One Ltd have updated E-Hobby Shop with the re-issue of Pepsi Promotional Convoy.

Very rough translation of text:

In American in 1985 there was a campaign, run by Pepsi-Cola, where you would win a Convoy (Optimus Prime) with a Pepsi-Cola logo pasted onto the trailer.

Now this toy makes a revival, with a new modern style based on an actually vehicle (probably a Pepsi Tanker).

You can actually load a Pepsi-Cola bottle onto the trailer, for display. Convoy has also been re-coloured in the Pepsi-Cola 2 colour colour scheme
