After the latest news about the character - his appearance in the Kabam Studios Forged to Fight mobile game, reported here - we have another update on the next figure in a high-end collectible toyline from Takara Tomy Transformers: Masterpiece MP-41 Dinobot, the third of the Beast Wars character to receive the plastic incarnation treatment!

While we still have very little news about the fan-favourite Predacon turned Maximal, Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook brings us a release date and a price - and you may not be happy about the latter. According to their source, we're looking at 28000 Yen (approx 245 USD at the time of writing), making it the priciest MP figure to date, due in July 2018. What do you make of this new information? Is it a turn-off? Let us know in the Energon Pub!

Takaratomy Transformers Next Masterpiece

We have a confirmation on the coming up Transformers Masterpiece MP-41 will be the expected Dinobot from Beast Wars. But there is surprising pricey on him as we have been told the Retail Price is 28,000 JPY!

Meanwhile, we are not sure how big Dinobot will be or just Takaratomy send out a wrong information on the price. If this is the final case, Dinobot will be the most expensive MP so far.

Price: 28,000 JPY
Release Date: July, 2018

Well that is a massive deal breaker, if true. I won't even pay that for superior 3rd party product.



It has to be an error.

We are waiting for other sources to confirm what the situation actually is, but that is currently the price reported by all retailers carrying the figure.

Hell no. Only time I've paid that much was either a 3P combiner, or TM3 Megatron. And even then, they were a rarity because it was my favourite combiner and a Beast Wars botcon that was the last one. But for a regular MP release? Unless it comes with a full sized Axalon control room diorama with tables and chairs, all interest in this has gone instantly.

If they are keeping Dinobot in scale with the other MP figures, he should be a head taller than MP Primal... but... yikes. I don't see that causing such a price hike. What are they expecting to include with him, a MP Rattrap to ride on top of him???

Megatron was that price so he’s gotta he that big. I mean he is dinobot after all and he better come with a slew of accessories. His blaster from code of a hero, swappable bartle damage, golden discs etc

BBTS has their preorder up at $249. I assume that's based on the same info Takara sent other retailers.

Unless Dinobot is as complex a figure as MP Megatron I can't see any justification for that price. If this is the new reality for Masterpiece figures, I'm out.

Gonna go ahead and echo what everyone else is saying: unless there's some kind of an error or he really does come with some amazing accessories, I'm out. Shame, too.

It has to be some kind of mistake. Surely they can't charge such prices for a figure that will be slightly taller than MP Ironhide?

I'm really looking forward to how this is justified.

I mean, just think of the price point MP-10 is/was at... And all the stuff he came with. He better come with EVERY accessory ever seen in BW :roll:

they did this because they can. they got away with mp 36, and thought "the fools actually buy this stuff for $200+". if people blindly except it and pay the prices, takara will keep doing this.

If he were a real Velociraptor, yes. But Dinobot is based on those from Jurassic Park, who are more similar to the taller Deinonychus. The real animal was still only about half human sized however. Coincidentally, Utahraptor was unveiled a few years prior, and was roughly the height of a standard human. Food for thought :lol:

Pages of people tapping out over the price...but how much you wanna bet this thing sells out upon arrival? Then the restock sells for $270 and everybody on here bites the bullet. Thats what happened to me for MP-36. Good thing im not a hardcore BW fan. Im done with MP unless they come out with Blitzwing, Astrotrain, Reflector, or the Insecticons. (Or more Yes Model seekers lol)

For that price he better come with Rat Trap and Rhinox.

But really though, that is an insane price. Surely he is not more complex than Megatron, and if he is, that is ridiculous.

Posted by TheMuffin on November 6th, 2017 @ 11:16am CST
So I got cheetor for $70 and Primal for $70... How can that price be justified? I can understand that a lot of engineering has gone into the toy, but charging 3 times the price of the other two figures in the line seems wrong. Even $140 is reaching the high end of what I was expecting.

I hope it's wrong. I really do. I buy so few transformers any more so not at least having all the BW MP would be a bummer.

Maybe it's secretly a three-pack of MP Dinobot, MP Transmetal McDinobot, and MP Transmetal 2 Dinobot. :P

Posted by SW's SilverHammer on November 6th, 2017 @ 11:46am CST
So the price is clearly because Takara Tomy included a crossover with Hirohiko Araki, You're able to use MP Dinobot to turn yourself into a Utahraptor much like the Stand {Scary Monsters}. Duh
Re: Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-41 Dinobot Price Point Revealed (1920227)
Posted by Emerje on November 6th, 2017 @ 1:30pm CST
Dinobot should only be a little taller than Primal which isn't enough to explain the price jump. I doubt complexity would be much different from Cheetor either. That means they probably did something entirely unnecessary with this figure like stick a motor in his tail to make it spin. He'll probably also have light up eyes like Primal to imitate his lasers. I also wouldn't be surprised if he came with some protohumans as well. Not sure if all of that is enough to explain the price, but it's a start.

OK, either this is an error or Takara is actively trying to saboutage the BW MP line.

Damn so much for getting Dinobot. At that price I think I will wait and see if a 3rd party company makes one for half that.
Re: Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-41 Dinobot Price Point Revealed (1920306)
Posted by Blozor on November 6th, 2017 @ 8:23pm CST
It's gotta be a mistake or Takara is really underestimating the knock-off market. They'd have the thing produced in two months for under $100 and most people would settle before paying $245 for an MP of his scale. It would be a bad strategy on Takara's part.

Wouldn't count on it, that's far too cheap, Cheetor cost more than that and Dinobot will most certainly be more expensive. It clearly says at the top retail(pcs) as in price per piece and then CT (count) 4 pieces in a case. I doubt all of the retailers would have made that same mistake.

The full reveal for the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece Beast Wars Dinobot is right around the corner. While waiting, we have been privy to a possible price point and now we have information regarding all the features he will come with, such as accessories and electronics. What you will find below is an interpretation of a Chinese language post written on TFND's Facebook page.

  • Fully poseable raptor mode
  • Beast mode eyes can be changed
  • Sculpted scales under a layer of printed texture all through the beast mode body
  • Robot mode is bigger and broader than Optimus Primal
  • Hand can hold both weapons in his hands
  • The tail shield spins
  • Has two extra faces, where one is smiling and one is roaring (probably angry)
  • Will have two different coloured eye pieces, to be used with a light up feature (to replicate the lazer beams)
  • He will also come with a gold disk accessory and a base that can be used in both modes

What was I saying about laser eyes and spinning tail weapon before? At least we know where the money is going to now, but I could really do without the electronics.

'memba when the Inferno mold was released? Same with IH etc. The intial SRP was waaaaaaaay out of there! Especially the local based importers. When the actual fig got PO'd, the prices went down. END. :-$

Sounds great! Still doesn't sound like proper, sound, justification for that particular price point. I know it's bigger than Primal, but WAAAAAY smaller than Magnus - even considering all these other features - and does not justify that price.

But like Magnus (and Inferno, apparently?) the price will probably go down.

Unfortunately, I am sick, and will get this no matter what. I just... Won't preorder it.

It sounds like they're going all-out with Dinobot, which is great news and goes a way to justifying the price.
