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!

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!

You're talking about something that is half as tall and half as wide as the Armada minicon Ramjet figure. This is a fgurine that would be the right size to fit onto a HotWheels car, or an HO scale model train. Which is 1/87th of your size. To put it bluntly, and with as much sarcasm as possible:
The hell else do you want??

Given the size,I don't think it will be feasible to give the Brain of Courage full articulation. It's like hoping that the "Spike" figure in MP-10 to have the same features (which will rack up the costs)

Should I be worried that the Brainmaster is very small?

I think the Spike argument is less fair, given the existence of Dr Wu's Partners.

Dr. Wu is a 3rd party company, those guys can charge as much as they want. They aren't tied up as much as Tomy has to deal with costs despite the typical stereotype against multinationals/big corporations short selling us.
Remember how there were such big plans for UM? But costs was the primary concern in one of the interviews released.
And one thing, just what else can you add to such a wee wee figure? Head articulation? Remember, he already carries the face/brainmaster gimmick etc.
Besides, if I/you have Starsaber now, I'd be playing with his default/super mode over the Brainmaster.
