Thanks to Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook, we have high resolution scans of the collector magazine Figure King, featuring plenty of Transformers figures from Studio Series, Power of the Primes, and the now very varied Masterpiece line which includes Diaclone style redecos, a fully golden Optimus Prime and Beast Wars Masterpiece toys, like Megatron.

Most notably, we have some more Power of the Primes Inferno, Studio Series Wave 2 deluxes and voyagers, and these are the best quality images of the first time we see Beast Wars Megatron's beast mode. Fans who can read Japanese have stated that this Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron figure includes a sound chip, which will undoubtedly be in Japanese.

I'm sure fans who never saw the Japanese Beast Wars dub may be confused if Takara chose to make Megatron's voice clips be the goofier ones like him screaming or him saying he's late for piano practice.

It’s their version of megatron. Takara doesn’t make their master piece figures for western audiences. They will take your money because they know you’ll give it to them but you are not their target audience so they are not going to accommodate to you because they dont have to.

Just like the Legends line. Their focus was pretty much the Takara Trilogy with their decos and retooling while hasbro-got whatever reason- does G1 toy accuracy because they they believe that’s what everyone wants.

So now we have Optimus Primal, Cheetor, Dinobot and Megatron.

Wonder who from BW they'll make next.

My personal guess would be on either Rattrap or Waspinator

Every month we get new scans from the hobby magazine Figure King which is Takara's main channel for reveals, outside of shows, and new product images. And this one might be one for the ages with the best look yet at many upcoming Masterpiece figures, one of them being Beast Wars Megatron, probably the most sought after since the line's inception. Many of these images did crop up in the corresponding figures' threads but Loopaza has now uploaded high quality images of the entire Transformers section. We see that not only did we have Masterpiece figures, but we also have new shots of the Gold Lagoon repaints and Encore Beast Wars Returns Convoy (Beast Machines Optimus Primal). There is one cool shot of the 3 Optimus Primal figures we got recently reminding us all that big bot is getting some well deserved love.

Here are the corresponding figures' if you want to join the discussion:

MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron

MP Optimus Prime 3.0

Beast Machines Optimus Primal

Gold Lagoon Figures

MP 36+ Megatron G1 Toy Deco

Power of the Primes

This month Magazine Figure King cover the coming up Masterpiece MP-43 Beast Wars Megatron in full color! All the details being shown in full and all other Transformers line up as well. And finally, the first look of the Masterpiece Optimus Prime 3.0 version!

I'm not sure I like this Optimus, his torso seems weirdly small compared to MP10

It was just over a week before SDCC 2017 when Hasbro officially announced their exclusives last year so don't be surprised if we don't hear anything this year until a week or so into July.

On topic: I'm not crazy about the gold lagoon set, but I do have to admire Takara Tomy's dedication in combining four different lines (Unite Warriors, Legends, Power of the Primes, and Masterpiece) to make this all work.

The new action figure magazine is out and the hot item this month is the Unicron of Light which is the antithesis to Armada Unicron, made up of all the minicons and their combined energy/light. While it is a representation of the same thing the Lucky Draw toy is based on, it has a very different take on the deco, which is a smart way to keep the Lucky Draw unique and collectable while offering everyone now a chance to own a representation of this being for their shelves.

We also have some shots of Masterpiece Beast Wars Megatron and of toys identical to their Hasbro counterpart like Wreck Gar and Nemesis Prime.This is indeed lighter than previous months, especially since there are fewer Transformers toys Takara is releasing differently from Hasbro. That doesn't mean Takara themselves as a company have less to offer. So, we also included more shots from this magazine, showcasing their other giant robot line, Diaclone.

These images were brought to us by the Loopaza Megastore.

Enjoy!

An update of Battle Buffalo?!?

That means the Neo-Diaclone line really is touching back on Transformers: specifically, 'Space Transformers'! Diatron 5!!!

And while I'm not crazy about every liberty taken with the design, this has me wondering just how freaky an updated Warudaros might turn out! Masterpiece Paras B!

Every time i see that Unicron, I want to place him next to a pot of gold with a rainbow coming out of it.
