It also shows us that Grapple's head comes up to Convoy's chest-windows, and combined with his... thing his head is in, almost the same size. Maybe someone could do a size comparison pic of MP-10 and the UW Constructicons so we could get a decent idea of how Grapple will scale with them?


Express Pics?

Yes, I could ;) :D

Ooh, that's just a head shorter! Very nice!

It'll be pretty funny when Hauler comes around though. Guess they kicked him out the Constructicons for being too tall :lol:

Wait, there is something I dont get. Is it new that Transforemrs Asia handles the MP releases? Because I thought it was Hasbro Asia who handled them and they wre the ones providing the coin and such (and distributing them in australia).

Takara distributes in Japan, Hasbro Asia in the rest of the Asian market, with links to Australia too. In addition to the regular Takara accessories, they usually have the coin, and recently some other stuff too. :)

But if you look at the official pics again, you will notice that they arent from HAsbro asia but from Transformers Asia instead who is a 3p licencee (like funpub) who reissues previously used molds like Shattered Glass Optimus, Ultimate Movie Prime and now (it seems) the MP toys.

This whole Takara - Hasbro Asia - Transformers Asia - thing, is confusing. Not really the idea, but to get straight who's doing what.

Yes. So now I am wondering are there 3 different companies releasing Grappel? Like will there be a version of him just coming with the coin and then another where he comes with the coin and die cast figure? Or will the die cast figure version not come with a coin?

I think Ironhide is the only one getting released by 3 different companies. The ones since are only released by Transformers Asia who seems to be replacing Hasbro Asia for the release of MPs. Sadly that means the coinc collections are at an end and will be replaced by a collection of die cast minifigures.

What sucks to me is that they are abandoning a set to start a new one.

Wonderfest 2017 - Transformers Masterpiece MP-35 Grapple

Motto: "Till All Are Pun!"
Some stragglers from the news out of Wonderfest 2017, in Tokyo, Japan, include the Takara Tomy Masterpiece and Unite Warriors line - the first update is for the MP-35 figure, a redeco and newly accessorised Inferno: Grapple! Not a lot of love for this yellow guy, but check out two images below.

Just noticed this. Related to the Inferno mold. Takara didn't just do a lazy recolor.In order to make each unique, they added extra molding on Grapple's side shoulders and shins that were absent in Inferno.

So it wasn't lazy but intentional to "personalized" them. Same with Artfire who is a hybrid of both molds.

Yes, according to Takara, Inferno and Grapple have only 50% parts in common, and here they are:

The rest was retooled.

Here's a chart showing some of the differences --

I think Artfire is a straight up redeco of Inferno.

Even if he is highly retooled, the Inferno mold was one of the better recent Masterpieces, so Grapple should be an excellent addition to the line. I look forward to getting ahold of one.
