As for the figure themselves, they're basically what you'd expect. MPG-12 is a purple Optimus Prime based on the MP-44S toy colors package, just swapping out the normal alternate head with the battle damaged head that came with the original MP-44 3.0 figure. MPG-13 Jetfire appears to be a straight repaint of MP-57 Jetfire, but lacks the flight stand, mini figures and face mask of the original release.
MPG-12 has a suggested price of 33,000 JPY (but will be available much cheaper in most places) and will be out in March 2025. MPG-13 is priced at 39,600 JPY, and as an exclusive that price will not change, and is ALSO being released in March 2025. However, both will likely be available on Hasbro Pulse in the coming days. Keep in mind this is one month after MPG-10 Lift Ticket and MPG-11 Guard are released in February. I guess the evil Autobots of Shattered Glass are just as happy to slay our wallets as they are Decepticons!
How do you feel about these new releases and will they decimate your budgets or be easy passes? Let us know in the Seibertron Energon Pub forums!

Speaking of gaiden, Takara Tomy's first Brave figure in however many years, Toyrise King Exkaiser, is also up for preorder. Going to grab one of Amazon Japan, he's surprisingly reasonably priced.

But saying that, if the price drops, there is always potential.

After seeing the reviews of the normal MP Skyfire, I too, find the Commander to be just as good if not better than the MP. Especially for the price difference.
And if the leaks are true, it may be the same for the upcoming SS86 Commander Optimus VS MP-44.

Guard isn't really doing it for me.
I won't get either though, because the selects versions are good enough for me for representation.

I was thinking this exact thing, the G1 cartoon look REALLY does not work for the SG look

Huh, interesting. I didn't go in on any of the 44 versions. MP10 and the like have satisfied the MP side of things for me with OP but saying that, the SG44 does look good. I will likely still go in on the 86 version as i am trying to complete the SS86 run, redundant to my collection or otherwise because i will be keeping them MISB; smaller scale dupes not withstanding.

As soon that the preorders are up, I'll reverse my copy.

At least they announced it soon enough for Super Ginrai to not be unobtainable...

I don't remember God Ginrai having a sword in the cartoon.
Is that a Victory thing?

Yeah, he used a sword once in an episode of Victory, in a fight with Deathsaurus.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:If not with this then maybe in a big two-pack of the two.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Do you think they'll include a sword with the figure?

The sword that came with Legends God Ginrai was based on that one.

Previously, the Legends version of the sword did see release with both versions of Legends Godbomber (the individual release and the big God Ginrai giftset), so it could have come with this single MPG Godbomber if Takara had wanted to include it.-Kanrabat- wrote:I expect that sword to be sold in an eventual megapack, or separately by its lonesome.
often sell TF weapons and accessories as promo items after all.
Then again, I don't think it's been confirmed how many accessories this one will have, so who knows? It's possible.

Looks like the sword is part of the big box of parts.

The TTM set is just God Bomber with some extra "prototype" parts in an extra large box, similar to the MPG-6S Kaen big box release. Despite what people were saying earlier it doesn't come with Super Ginrai. I'm sure like 6S this set will also be on Hasbro Pulse, probably $200 or so.

Oh I figured that out, just a quick glimpse threw me off, and like Raiden, I do not need the bigger box.
Speaking of Raiden, I placed an order for an upgrade kit to replace Kaen, so that will help clean up the combined mode and give me a Kaen to play with by himself, which is good cause he is the best train and I adore him

The first is the highly anticipated MPG-14 Godbomber who will be available in two different flavors. The first that we had seen previously is the retail version that will be available everywhere. The second is a special Takara Tomy Mall exclusive MPG-14S that includes everything from the retail version plus extra parts to make Godbomber and God Ginrai look like the original prototype, as well as God Ginrai's sword. That set comes in an extra large box that can also store the Super Ginrai box inside similar to the MPG-6S Kaen box that could hold all 6 Trainbots. This set will likely be available on Hasbro Pulse soon.

Takara Tomy Mall: https://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810955788/
Next up is Karakuri Statue Optimus Prime, the self transforming statue first revealed at the beginning of the year. Not much has changed in the statue itself, but the base got an overhaul making it more ornate and adding gold for contrast to the middle rotating part.
Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.jp/T-SPARK-Transf?tag=seibertron00-22& ... ast_sto_dp
Finally we've got the Dramatic Capture Triple Takeover set. This set puts new decos on Siege Astrotrain, Legacy Evolution Blitzwing and SS86 Starscream. Starscream includes his coronation gear, but no throne this time. Even more noticeable is Astrotrain's lack of launch pad/tender.

Bad news, Buyee wont let you order it. No idea why, but I tried it out of curiosity and got a message saying it couldn't be sold overseas along with a link to a page of all the stuff that can be shipped.

Can't imagine the reasoning, there's other stuff on there that has been sold by Hasbro like Adamas Machina Hot Rod, and bigger things like some of the Zoids.

Damn; thanks for the heads up.
Pulse it is then, unless one of the larger eTailers carries it for not too much of a hustle up.

Just to be sure the only thing the box set has more are the "prototype" parts, an extra gun, and the stand?

Weird, I know I replied to this. Early listings didn't mention the sword and it isn't in the pictures of the contents, but it was listed in the pre-orders.
