Official Images of Transformers MPG-09 Super Ginrai

Magnificent!

The question is, will it be a bitch to transform like MP-44?

I don’t love it. This may be a case of in two years we’ll get a better, cheaper commander class version of the same figure in the main line.

I Don't understand why they are doing 2 releases. Why would anyone want just the cab (MP-60)?. I mean I know MP Primes have been offered multiple times with just the cab, especially in the beginning, when nobody knew if the MP line was going to be ongoing.

But Super Ginrai/PM Prime has never been sold without his trailer in any other release that I am aware of. Of course I feel the same about the original Prime. I remember the TRU Commemorative series in 2002 having the trailer. I cant remember when the first "cab only" Original reproduction Optimus was offered? I want to say it was the Walmart one around 2016/17 ? But it could have been before that...but it still seemed odd, not something Id ever consider purchasing.

And here's MP-60 Ginrai

So is MP-60 or MPG-09 cartoon colors? Either way I went with the Big Kahuna, I hope it doesn't suck.

I hate to say it, but I agree. I was looking forward to it, but I'll watch some review videos 1st. Hopefully the price won't get insane.

Ginrai looks fine, the wheels might be a bit on the thin side but I'd be tempted to go cab only on this. Power Master Optimus Prime this aint and that's the whole point but not a representation I would want. Reissue g1 looks to have more wow factor despite being a brick.

You saying Elita's cheating on Optimus with Ginrai?

This week on Blaster's Off-Cybertron Podcast: "I accidentally cheated with your identical, red-eyed twin." Elita leaks lubricants in sincere apology to Optimus. Ginrai throws chair at Blaster.

Amazon Japan has put up their listings for the newly revealed Masterpiece figures. Fans have placed in order already and with shipping, Super Ginrai comes to just shy of $300 USD shipped. Prices may come down further over time. Other Japanese retailers have these for order too, like Ami Ami.

The listings give us some new images, showing off all accessories each release comes with. The Super version comes with an alternate face to give Optimus red eyes instead of blue, along with a small figure of Ginrai in his exo-suit, and some really cool effects parts.
