That would be Super Buggy/Powered Buggy (depending on the region of release and how he was released):


It came with the Diaclone Powered Convoy as Powered Buggy, but when released individually by GiG it was called Super Buggy.

I wonder if there's a chance that Unicron will ever get an official release...

The head is too small.

I really like MP Star Saber. Yeah the forearms are big, but it's not too bad.

Very happy to see the MP Ultra Magnus in these pictures has the blue lower inner legs, the red we have seen in some promo pics look hideous. That gives me hope that the final product will have cartoon accurate colours in botmode.

Sorry to go off discussion, am I the only person more interested in this picture?http://www.taghobby.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/mps007.jpg

Have these been seen before? I definitely have never seen that alternate Rodimus base.

Back on track love how this guy turned out. Hope he sells really well, well enough to warrant looking at a G1 re-issue.

I also wonder how Hasbro will market this guy if they also decide to release him.

Star Saber's looking very nice. So far so good. Too bad we American Transformers fans rarely got any exposure to him or any of the other Japanese characters when it came to the Takara series. God Ginrai was just a different character who had the body of Powermaster Prime. Well, at least we had Wing Saber in Energon who was an homage to Star Saber. As for some of the prototypes, that Porsche Jazz looks like it could've been an awesome figure 10 years ago.

We recently got Star Saber as a fascist religous zealot in the IDW comics:

They did it! The maniacs pulled it off!

Brainmaster gimmick is a go! I repeat, Brainmaster gimmick is a LET'S SAY GO!

Best. Masterpiece! EVER!!!

I'm still hoping that he returns, probably as a broken bot that tries to make amends (at that point the lost light crew would let him aboard, afterall they have megs as their captain ). Also are the forearms really that big of a deal?

magnus is so gorgeous. every time i see him he just looks better and better.. especially with the inner thighs being painted blue. and they now have official shots of them being blue as well which is nice.

wheeljack and bumblebee still look fantastic.

i really can't wait for these three.. they're all so different. magnus is the biggest yet, wheeljack will fit right in with the other cars, and bumblebee is the smallest autobot yet. i LOVE bumblebee's scale. i'm SOO happy still that they decided to go with toon scaled bumblebee rather than scaling his vehicle mode with the others. he just looks great and it REALLY fits right in MUCH better than a real world scaled version.

also.. looking at their G1 display, i can't help but imagine masterpiece versions of all of them. i hope that becomes a reality at some point.

Yuuki no Brain is the piece that makes this release perfect wen it comes to gimmicks.

That...is...awesome... From the looks of it the gimmick doesn't impede the main figure's head articulation at all

Now I wonder closer to release we could convince them to do a stop frame animation of Star Saber's transformation...

this is the most excited ive been for a transformer i know nothing about

Courtesy of the CYBERGEEKS Alliance Facebook page we have scans from the Transformers Generations Volume 2 book that reveal new prototype images of the Masterpiece Fans Choice Winner Star Saber. In addition to giving us a closer look at the figures details, these also confirm what many of you have been hoping for, the Brainmaster gimmick is present! Check out the images mirrored below:

AND he has head articulation in both robot modes? Color me curious to see how that works. Even if it turns out to be a bit cheatsy, it certainly looks more impressive than Brainstorm's tech-spec meter sticker.

the last picture reminds me of people who wear big glasses and have to squint their eyes to see!

How tall is he going to be? It looks like he is twice as tall as MP Wheeljack.

He's going to be slightly taller than the G1 Star Saber toy.



Here's some size comparison pics with G1 Star Saber and other toys (including MPs):

Nerdgasm imminent....

Yep. The second preorders go live for Star Saber, I am totally going to go for him. Too cool to just let slip away.

Oh man this thing just keeps looking better and better every time I see it. Definitely gonna have to break my own rule of not importing things just to get this guy

What is that Unicron I see in the corner?

Which one? There were multiple Unicrons on display at this event.
