Some more in-package images come from site sponsor RobotKingdom, via Seibertronian Cyberpath, this time of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-33 Inferno - front and rear of the box, with art and the showcase of accessories and features, plus some cartoon scene recreations and the diecast mini Optimus Prime. We also have confirmation of the alt-mode: he transforms into a Fuso T951. Check it out below!

Looking forward to experience the ladder magic.

Kind of funny how that one-time brief bondage scene is one of the features. :))

Surprised that Takara didn't go with this instead, considering that they went with the crane-appendages for Grapple:

It's a three weekend thing (they did shoot an e-mail to news yesterday) but I'll just see what they do this weekend.

Though seeing what they have in stock, there's nothing I really REALLY want unless it's a damn good mark down.
-edit-
Shot it through to you directly.

Finally found a good comparison picture of the 3 MP style Inferno molds available currently on the market. Yes, I know one is grapple, it still works.

From left to right: Maketoys, Takara, and MMC.

If you like the recent dedication to being extremely cartoon accurate, Takara us the way to go. I'm not a fan, so I'll be keeping MMC Backdraft. If I ever see Takara on a good deal though, I'll still pick it up. That ladder magic is impressive.

Taken all together, I like the toy aesthetic of MMC's "Inferno" the best, but I would have to buy both, which I'm not willing to do. Gotta go official if any on Inferno.

Wow! It seems like Takara is getting better and better.

Footage from: MP-33 Masterpiece Inferno - Review by The Chosen Prime.

(Watched only the first five minutes because I wanna leave something for when the toy arrives.)

Not really. MMC Backdraft has that gimmick as well.
