Japanese Event: Transformers Museum With Black Animated Optimus Prime

If the excitement of BotCon, Tokyo Toy Show and the various other events this summer have left you gagging for more, you're in luck! A new event has been announced in Japan: Transformers Museum. To celebrate 2010, famous stores around Japan will be running exhibitions, and an obvious but welcome repaint will be making an appearance; a black redeco of Voyager Class Animated Optimus Prime.



So far not much is known about the event, though it will be occuring at Otsu Western Store in Kyoto from the 3rd of August to the 8th and at Yokohama Sogo Store from the 10th to the 16th. So far it is unknown if further stores and dates will be added. In addition to Optimus Prime Black Version being on sale in limited numbers for 4200 yen, attendees will be able to see a Camaro painted up as Bumblebee and two-metre-tall models of Prime and Bumblebee, and will be able to purchase Masterpiece Convoy as well as Transformers T-shirts and cups.

The Otsu Store's page can be seen here and a .pdf of Yokohama's event can be seen here (both are in Japanese but feature images).
