Sgt. Frog/Keroro Starscream Transformer Toy Offered

posted on by Egan Loo
Neon green "Keroroscream" miniature bundled with Kerokero Ace magazine

The January issue of Kadokawa Shoten's Kerokero Ace magazine announced on Saturday that the next issue will bundle a neon green "Keroroscream" toy on December 26. Keroro Gunsō is the Japanese name for the science-fiction comedy manga Sgt. Frog, the inspiration for the magazine's name.

The magazine describes the toy's arrival as a "lightning attack by a mysterious super lifeform" — a reference to Sgt. Frog's story about an alien sent to Earth to prepare for an invasion. It is also a nod to the first Transformers show's Japanese title, Tatakae! Chō Robot Seimeitai Transformers (Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers). The toy is a recolored Legends Class toy of the Starscream character from the recent live-action Transformers film trilogy. Like the character, the miniature toy transforms from an F-22 fighter jet to a robot.

The toy comes with special sticker seals for personal customization.
