Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-42 Cordon Revealed with Toy Head, Lightbar, and More

Lookin' good, but I think a red version would look even better.

Welp, there goes the toy head and wrist rockets...

I have the original red version somewhere (one of the first TFs I can remember), so I’ll hold out until they do that deco. I’m nearly certain they will, seeing as it’s kind of the very first TF toy.

How is this not extensive retooling? New head, new gun, new legs, new chest, etc ...

It's definitely not Titans Return Scourge into Highbrow into Windblade, but it's definitely got some big things going on.

New G1 styled head is very awesome. I look forward to the inevitable MP-39+.

Exactly my thoughts.

Usually I'm not a huge fan of repaints, however these Diaclone-inspired Masterpiece figures (Cordon, Exhaust and so on) are very interesting, at least in my opinion.

Still I would kill for a show accurate Reflector Masterpiece to complete my 1st wave Decepticons diorama...

I guess extensive retooling was the wrong phrase to use. What I mean is, it needs to look like a different figure, similar to Tracks and Roadrage, for me to justify the cost.

While this is nice, it doesn't look too different than Sunny (yes, that is just my opinion).

Unless of course, I can find this on sale.

C'mon! It's a made up character. With red eyes. Just fill out the Decepticon ranks!

Put a sticker on it, and let your imagination fly free!!!!! It's that easy.

A reflector is what I wanted too. But dont forget tge insecticons and triple changers to round out the pre-1986 movie decepticon cast. Im gonna be saving a lot of money if the focus on beast wars instead of G1 next year.

Unfortunately for me, I'm collecting both G1 Decepticons and Beast Wars figures (no Shadow Panther though, just the characters from the show).

Probably Reflector will be neglected to the characters you mentioned, or some 2010 character (there have been only Autobots till now, except for the Soundblaster/Ratbat combo, I think). Also maybe "Red Sunstreaker" will be a too! Let's just hope it will mantain Cordon's head...

Will this be some kind of exclusive? Waiting to preorder from Amazon Japan if possible. Hopefully there's more to the figure that we've seen.
