Thanks to Seibertronian o.supreme, we have news that the 4th of 6 MPG Trainbots has been officially revealed and is up for preorder.

The fourth figure in this MGP line is Suiken, who forms the left arm (and part of the foot) for Raiden. Suiken transforms into a Tokai-type 153 Express locomotive in a green and orange color scheme, a striking scheme compared to the 3 Trainbots revealed so far. Suiken stands about on par with the other Trainbots in terms of size, as seen in a comparison picture with Getsuei.

Suiken appears to have the left robot mode fist built into his design, an integration tactic seen on the Fall of Cybertron era combiners. A majority of his train mode forms the left arm to Raiden, while a portion breaks off and transforms into the foot wing kibble. He comes with his scaled blaster, the larger Raiden blaster, 2 pieces of train tracks, and a piece for his stand.

Suiken is listed on Amazon Japan for ¥17,705, or at the current exchange rate approximately $122.00 USD. His preorder is live, and we anticipate other stores will begin listing him before too long.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of the next Trainbot in the comments down below!

This long, drawn-out release schedule is killing me, though.

I've been all in on these so far, but not for the combined mode, which is kinda sad. but I like trains, and I like the looks of the robots. also, just noticed that Getsuei's tracks when put together in the right order has a storage slot for the combiner sword. I'm sure people already knew this, but I think it's neat

But... Raiden nor any of his components have ever had a sword?

Been forever since I've seen headmasters so I can't remember if he had one there or not, but I couldn't find any images. Either way, the train track have a big sword shaped storage spot under them. Thepeg holes are even contoured to match the shape. Maybe Takara decided he needed one

I've seen 3 Getsuei reviews online (one of them TT official Transformation video), and none of them mentions this... I never even looked under the track pieces

, except to notice the gauges were different, so these wont all be able to go along the track together when completed.

Here's another one... Is the term "Hand-Held Bazooka" by definition incorrect?

Every one I've ever seen requires you to rest it on your shoulder.

Normally Suiken is my favorite of the Trainbots. But I just cannot get over how much of a mess that robot mode is. I'll stick with the Moon Studios version, thanks.

Ok, smarter people than me, I'm curious about this one: the instructions show a piece to turn the tracks into stands (I guess so you can pose them in ways that need help to balance.) There's even a clear plastic piece for this prop-rod to plug into. But there's no prop rod included in the boxes.

What's the deal?

I believe some previous MP's came with a stand that can work for these using the extra piece they provided. You would need the stand from another MP however.

Specifically, I think the necessary component came with MP Dinobot, and maybe 1 or a couple other MP Beast Wars figures

also mp blackarachnia, v3 Starscream. technically, you can use the stock part of v2 megatron, but it won't plug into the tracks. seriously, I know others have said this, but jeeze has/tak/tomy rip that damn bandaid off and just start selling the display stands. stop letting bandai one-up you on this.
