Transformers Masterpiece MP19 Smokescreen Now at TakaraTomy Mall

Wasn't too impressed when he was first announced, but he looks glorious in those new pics no more derpy face haha

I appreciate Takara's incorporating the bots' "permanent" weapons into their transformations. Though now was their chance to give Smokescreen's cannons articulation at the neck so they could point up.

The facial expressions make him even more, well, expressive.



And I like how they painted the insides of his legs black.


Here's my original just for fun..



This one reminds of me Diaclone art --

Dangit Cyberpath I didn’t grab those face images for the formal article I goofed but you did a great job thanks again! Ten pounds of awesome sauce in a five pound bag. He’s the Bruce Campbell of the Autobots

1, 2, 3, 4; let's have a chin war



Smokes has got Megs beat though.

Meh another money grab move, Takara is starting to become like Hasbro. Nice for people that missed out on him the first time around, but nothing to justify buying him again.

What we do need is a re-issue of Takara Legends Weirdwolf with fixes to the dang hinges that breaks on everyone sooner or later.

Love it! Glad I haven't got it yet totally getting this one.

Fellow Seibertronian PrimevsPrime has been busy with video reviews. Not only does he have a review up for the new Earthrise Wheeljack but he also took time to make a video review of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-19+ Smokescreen. This rerelease is made with a more cartoon accurate look, including a new face. He goes through all the accessories and changes in the video below.

He looks interesting.I prefer the old face,but the smoke effects are nice.

Armada Smokescreen would make a cool toy too.

Day 11 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Armada masterpiece won't happen, 90% of the designs were not real vehicles or animals...Takara is not going to make masterpiece figures out of such low budget toys with no real nostalgic value. 90% of armada were like cheap dollar store knock offs.

I think you are wrong here. The children who grew up with the Unicron Trilogy are not yet at the age were disposable income is a thing. There are close, though, and in the next ten years or so, I think you'll start seeing a rather large uptick in Armada nostalgia.
