The Energon Pub

The 2016 Tokyo Toy Show is going on right now and will last throughout the week. One of the biggest reveals, along with Unite Warriors Sky Reign (with Ratchet) is Masterpiece Thrust as the next conehead seeker to be released under the Masterpiece Line. This is a retool of Masterpiece Ramjet, whose gallery can be seen here, and whose picture can also be seen below. That mold is itself a retool of MP 11 Starscream. It is unsure if this will be a Takaratomymall exclusive or not so stay tuned!

Yup, another seeker to get

Depending on the bw mp reveals, it might not be until next year, this year is getting pretty cramped, I feel a little bad for everyone that collects mp's, they're getting crammed down their throats at a ludicrous speed

And I'm waiting on Hasbro to honor the BW anniversary, guessing you'll get your wish first

We'll probably get a titanmaster Waspinator whose titanmaster looks like Starscream to reference the possession episode before we'll get a MP Trailbreaker

HA! No way, I'm sure Hound, Jazz, Mirage, Trailbreaker and Hoist are already in the design pipline

Better be. Gonna get all of the damn seekers before Mr Forcefield himself. That's an insult to him and others. And of all things, Thrust before dirge????? Dirge is my favorite conehead and Thundercracker my favorite seeker overall, and they leave my fav conehead for last. Takara, why must you hate me but love so many others, giving them these seekers and such

Fellow Seibertronians, hot on the heels of it's reveal earlier tonight, we now bring you official images of Masterpiece Thrust that were posted to TakaraTomy Mall and show off the - now familiar - functions of the figure. They have been mirrored below, so, as always, leave your thoughts and comments below.

I know that this is just how this character needs to look, but holy leg kibble batman. That is a bit harder to classify as Forgivikibble

Oh SH|T! You're right, all that crap is stuck onto his legs, man, I pity Ryan - or anyone for that matter for trying to pose that guy

Exactly what I was thinking. Those legs have to be hindered somewhat with all that stuff. But it looks good and it looks like the character though

Fixed that for ya

It's not even that, it's just a pair of plane wings duct-taped to his knees

I wasn't making any reference to any particular work. But, you do kind of miss how tongue-in-cheek a lot of my observations and comments are meant to be. If you see "winky" or some other special emoticon after a sentence or post of mine, it usually indicates that I'm just having a bit of fun.

The wing issue is probably why Dirge is being released last, if at all. I love Dirge, but the lack of a toy-accurate cubehead option is really off-putting.

I thought it was something along those lines, which is why I replied with a snarky remark

Oh god, yeah, those huge wings are just gonna be slapped onto his legs; but they could get tricky and give them articulated arms and connect them to the thigh plates

The color choices for the deco are a little odd since he didn't look quite like that in the cartoon:
