TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-25L Loudpedal In Hand

I wasn't that interested in Tracks or Road Rage, but I really want Loudpedal.

If Road Rage gets Prince's Little Red Corvette as her theme song,
Then Loudpedal gets this ...



Put the pedal to the metal and burn rubber on me!

On the one hand, that sexy, sexy car mode and the awesome colours make me want this. The weird looking back and general hollowness on the other hand put me off.

This is for you Cobo

Now that's what I'm talking 'bout!

Now if we can just find him a silver sequined cowboy hat and matching boots.

Aaaaaaaaand an ironhide right outta left field!

Ironhide hates those who bully the girls.

That's just great!

I knew y'all would enjoy it

BBTS just billed me for my LoudPedal pre-order, and shoved him up my PoL.
The listing still shows as "pre-order", but he may change to in stock soon.

Thanks to the YouTube channel for online retailer The Chosen Prime, we have a English video review of the latest Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece to appear in the news cycle: MP-25L Loudpedal! A redeco of the Tracks mold, with some changes for the face, as an homage to the Finnish Diaclone version of the toy, and an exclusive in itself - check it out in the video below!

Lovin'n this jerk! The colors are great, especially the metallic copper/bronze bits.
Gimme a black and purple Decepticon any day!

Sup?

Great shots!

I got my Loud Pedal and it's a floppy joint mess. Even the stand has a loose joint which makes it nearly useless.

Ya. The right elbow on mine is floppy, but everything else is ok. The stand was loose too, but a tightening of the screws fixed that.

What's the general opinion on Road Rage as a figure? I'm considering getting her as a combination of current sale price making her as cheap as 2 deluxes, she looks cool, kinda like her character potential and omg-first-female-masterpiece. Plus, MP car robots are voyager-sized so I could feasibly put her with some CHUG guys (plus her tough personality in G1 and Animated work for Voyager).

I like her. Her head doesn't lock into place, but that is the only flaw I've found. The mold differences are subtle from Tracks, but really make the female aspect stand out n

I think she's great. I like her better than Traxx.

I'm glad I have her, but I probably would've picked up Loud Pedal instead (as one bot for the mold). BUT, other than the head not locking (that densh mentioned), she's worth it on sale!! I would've bought her on sale instantly (as it was I went back and forth and had her ship with MP Ironhide). I may even bring her to the office now..!

Thanks for the responses guys. Ended up cracking and buying her - she should be here around the same time as Victorion as well so it should be fun

Awwww snap! Just transformed her to alt mode and back. Not bad at all really. She rolls really well, the good didn't line up perfect but I don't care

I really wouldn't mind picking up more fembots, diversity isn't just an old wooden ship.

EDIT: the hood did line up just fine, must've been the light reflecting..

Honestly my biggest reason for wanting her before the sale was because she is the only female Masterpiece. ... and, well, she's kind of sort of really cool. If Arcee was the first female Masterpiece can't say I'd be over that >_>

I mean it makes sense there aren't more, it's based on the G1 cartoon where there were like no girls aside from Arcee and those five or six others that showed up for one episode then never again. So you're limited to the redeco and retool potential in your existing molds... that said, I'd really love to see this sort of feminising on Starscream to get a good Slipstream. Now that's a fembot that'd sell well.

Thank you, Cobro

That was my biggest reason too, an MP fembot?! Awesome! I woulda been all over Arcee too though, kinda the same reason but more TF:TM.

Also, a Slipstream MP11?! That LOOKED like her? YES PLEASE!

Boy is Tracks not a popular MP figure

A year later, some japanese retailers are still trying to get rid of it:

Still, $28 is a great deal for those who dont have it yet and want it.

Even his official Ocean Designs decal costs $ 5.00 too. Again, too ambitious was Takara with Tracks.

Oh, em, gee! I had been transforming MP-25 Tracks with a missing step for the past three years.
His legs do look slightly better now, I guess.

Don't beat yourself up Cyb. Three molds later, and however many years later, and I just discovered that step about a month or so ago while transforming Loud Pedal.

How did you find out about it?

I think I just fumbled upon it. the piece moved and I was like, Oh! That must be a thing!
