Courtesy of Autobase Aichi we have word that CM's Corporation showed off teasers for Masterforce Minerva and Ginrai PVC/ABS figures at Summer Wonder Festival 2011. No word on pricing or release date. If past releases from CM are any indication these will probably be officially licensed and expensive. Images of their silhouetted teaser below.

More info please.

SUPER SEXY AWESOME SAUCE!
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT!
INTERNET TROLL: 'but he's not out yet!'
SHUT UP! YOU'LL SHATTER MY DREAMS!

I looked at the guys site and saw nothing but Gundam style non transformable figures. Will these transform ???

They will most likely just be the human characters in their powersuits.

W- why would they? I mean, it's not like CM's are making their transectors.

Remember back in July when CM's Corp hinted at Masterforce Minerva and Ginrai figures with those teaser silhouettes at Summer Wonder Festival? Their official website has been updated with several prototype images of Minerva who comes in her powersuit and will feature multiple facial expressions. No Ginrai prototypes unfortunately. If past releases are any indication expect these to be officially licensed and expensive. Check out the Headmaster Junior in her powersuit below.

That is really neat! I like it.

D'awww. She's so adorable.

adorable! I may just have to get this.

WHEN!? i want this NOW! must have - TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Ok.... How in the hell do I go about getting one of these???

At least cost something around Y 6,000.00 (not including shipping).

I might just get one.

Btw,this is a licensed figure so why is this at the 3rd party section?

@ Cyberbishop

Try inquiring at amiami

OH! The human girl... okay... nvm then.

1. she's kinda hot, ya know for an anime character.
2. is she a robot or a human, cuz if she is a robot then i think thats creepy
(thinks back to when sari turned out to be robot[shizers])
3.could someone give me a short difinition of the masterforce cuz from what i know
they're just humans who transform into blocks that attach to the transformers and give them life again. which is even creepier.

Headmasters. What's creepy about that?

Unlike the USA version, the original Headmasters with the exception of Spike were humanoid/reptile(green skinned aliens from Nebulon/Nebulos)

The Japanese version, the Headmasters were like midget Cybertronians.

Minerva(Headmaster Jr) were in a sense similar to the USA story being humans "binary bonded"(?)/having "henshin" bracelets to a mechanical body( in this case, a lifeless trantector) while in the former, the Cybertronians just downloaded their personalities in their auxillary memory bank located conveniently in the built in the tech spec meter.

before i begin i just want to let u know i am thankful for your explanation even if i don't seem like it.(i am not very good with the japanese ideals).

yes i know about the USA story of the headmasters. i was wondering about the "Masterforce".
second from what i could understand from your explanation(wtc is binary bonding and a trantector?!) it sounds like the masterforcers were people with mechanical suits that gave them the ability to connect to the cybertronians and basically use their bodies(creeeeepppyy!). if this isn't any where near the correct answer then just ignore me, i am probably hopelessly lost. XD

Meh... im not into masterforce. Besides, its...

you know looking at it Samus Aran is a bit like a masterforcer, ya know with the suit that
just comes out of no where and apears on her, and the fact she can take the form of a sphere like the masterforcers can turn into blocks.

now if only the masterforcers where any where near as awesome as Samus is then i might like them more.

the figure looks cool
just have to see what the price point will be

Mistake on my part, it should be in the regular Transformers Toy Forum. I'll see if someone can move it.

This, if at a reasonable price, I'll pick it up.
Compared to most anime figures/Statues this is the least creepy thing I've seen come out of Japan.

She did NOT show that much skin! Confounded fanservice!

Maybe a visual example would help.

Note: Autobots and Decepticons were called "Cybertrons" and "Destrons" in Japan.

It's all up to your preference but..........what's creepy about the headmaster system anyway?

Now, as for the price range, I give it an estimate convert from Yen to US$ more or less Y 6,000 to US$ 78.00 not including shipping. This might be lower or higher mind you based on the demand.

I'm sure she'll be wearing the body suit under it like always. The armor always showed that much "skin" she's just not as short as she used to be.

Me? I'm only interested in Ginrai or as I'll call him, Hi-Q. If I have to get them together, so be it.
