You mean without his Star armor? On the odd occasion. There were even times when the Star armor was needed for other reasons and Saber would fight without it.

The first Masterpiece figure that's actually smaller than the original G1 figure.
Yeah, I'm only referring to Saber. I'm well aware that this figure's Star Saber form is just a smidge taller than the G1 figure's Star Saber form.
Though, Saber being this small makes him about the same height as the MP cars, such as Wheeljack, who was about the same height at Perceptor in the Victory cartoon, who was about the same height as Saber:

I have no connection with this character mostly for the fact that I don't know much about him growing up in G1 only. With that being said, I'm really excited and cant wait to see an official press release, fully colored, etc.
He also appears to be one of the tallest MP figures, looks to be as tall as MP 5...

Once again coming at us from Hisashi Yuki on Twitter, we get some comparison shots of the third part of the prototype for Masterpiece Star Saber - and it's Yuuki no Brain, Brainmaster of Courage! Check out the images showing the tiny figure alongside its predecessors and some other size comparisons.

Good gravy! That brain is microscopic! The size of a Diaclone driver! This is like Smallest Transformers levels of tininess!

TFYuki is Hisashi Yuki, not Hideashi Yuki.
Also, when did MP Star Saber get the designation of MP-25? We still don't know what designation he'll get as far as I've heard. Ultra Magnus is MP-22. Granted we don't know if Star Saber will be MP-23 or something higher yet, but last I heard he wasn't stated to have a number yet.

Why? Why remind me how much I wish I had diaclone drivers! These images are cruel
It really is interesting to see how everything is sizing up! I want this sucker badly

Really cool.
*Smallest TF's are the WST line, specifically, Bumble Bee or Ravage, lol.

I was wondering where MP-25 came from as well... For all we know, it could have its own numbering system like the movie 'MP' figures. But if site staff know something we don't, then who the hell is MP-23 & 24? Spill it!

This is the best.

I'm getting a bad feeling that MP-23 is the brainmaster unit, MP-24 is Saber, with MP-25 being Starsaber.
Anyway, I think we'll be seeing a Victory Leo and possibly a Dai Atlas in the distant future.

As far as can be told, the "MP-25" thing is incorrect (no offense intended towards the news crew).

They wouldn't give separate components of a single Masterpiece release individual ID numbers. When Rumble and Jaguar were packaged together, they were both given a single ID number of MP-15. Likewise for Frenzy and Buzzsaw together as a 2-pack being MP-16.Madeus Prime wrote:I'm getting a bad feeling that MP-23 is the brainmaster unit, MP-24 is Saber, with MP-25 being Starsaber.

it really is sad that with a flagship masterpiece figure, the brain master has the pose ability of an 80's action master toy. and weve seen some small transformers with mad articulation...

It's not like the brain is even supposed to do anything anyway. It's not even a person; just the core component of Star Saber that goes into his chest.VioMeTriX wrote:it really is sad that with a flagship masterpiece figure, the brain master has the pose ability of an 80's action master toy. and weve seen some small transformers with mad articulation...

No offense, but that's a really, really sorry excuse.

The figure is teeny tiny. Any joints beyond what it has is likely to make it extremely fragile.

All of that, including the name, are the result of a very tired me typing early in the morning. Apologies!
