Rodimus looks good in bot mode Hate to see his vehicle mode triple changer

Looks like someone at the show finally realized how terrible Magnus's pose was and gave him a more neutral-looking stance.

I'm loving Cloud Shockwave even if he is "just" a repaint, and Cloud Hot Rodimus looks neat too. If I could get just one Cloud figure, it's going to be either Starscream or Shockwave.

For those curious, the estimated release date for Shockwave and Hot Rodimus seems to be November, with preorders opening up this month. The final two figures should be revealed before September.

I had the same thought.

EDIT: Bee is also looking a bit better for me, too. Maybe its just the closeup shot.

Properly posed, Ultra Magnus looks fantastic and the butt flap is hardly noticable. I'm not regretting my preorder. Wheeljack and Bumblebee look amazing too though I hope the final product Bumblebee is more yellow than the more gold look here.

Cloud rodimus looks like a super deformed FP protecter. Cloud shockwave was a clever use of the mold to milk a repaint, but nothing I care about. I just stick with TFP shockwave for my classics until a real shockwave comes out. MP bumblebee is all wrong for MP scale by cartoon standards, but might work well for classics if its the same height as an igear scout figure. But why did they have to give it that stupid fake car window in robot mode ? I would rather it have been a hatch like the classics figure. Magnus looks good. I can see all those people who bought KFC Citizen Stack bitch slapping themselves in frustration. And Im calling it...KO Marlboor Wheeljack (Takara is too sissy to promote cigarettes, even in a line meant for adult collectors)

I do like that purple Whirl. He's not Shockwave IMO, but it's a nice colour, so I'll find some place on my shelves for him.

Yep, Magnus is looking good! Is it me or are Bee's forearms mistransformed? I don't remember seeing a gap there before.

You're gonna pay that much for something you don't like?

Why are the cloud molds so much? That makes no sense to me.

The one located right under his neck in robot mode. Its obviously not the front or rear window of the beetle. Its a fake window.

Looking closely at Wheeljack and Bumblebee, it appears the sideview mirrors are removable. In bot mode Jackie has lost his little leg mirrors and Bee lost his hip kibble.

Not feeling MP Bee at all, the problem,with it is the alt mode accuracy, had they gone down the penny racer route I feel they could have produced a much better robot mode. Also he looks too kibbly for a masterpiece, hollow forearms with ugly panels hanging off them, huge backpack with unnecessary spare wheel and the doors visible on the inside of the legs. And as for UM, well I know we've all put on a few pounds since the 80's but he is far too bulky, so glad i didn't get bitten by the MP bug.

If it helps, the backpack tire on Bee has been shown to be removeable.

Trying to decide how much I like Shockwave... I like it a lot, but the only thing that detracts me is that he's got Whirl's claws. I guess I can pretend it's post-empurata/Shadowplay but pre-Decepticon, but... I dunno, there's just something odd about it. I'll wait until we get some in-hand images before deciding.

Rodimus is kickass, but needs a winnebago mode. Not that I was going to get him anyway: the Reveal the Shield redeco of Classics Rodimus satisfies me just right.

MP Ultra Magnus looks alright... but I'm with Burn when I say that I'm disappointed that he's not a white Optimus Prime wearing armor. That's partly what made Ultra Magnus so cool. :-(

EVA Optimus Prime looks okay. Can't really say much about him, since I know little to nothing about the series he's supposed to reference.

I never said I didn't like him. I do like the figure. I said he doesn't work as Shockwave. I may get him, but $100 is pushing it... time will tell.

Bee is slightly mis-transformed in the last pic. The arm panels are supposed to be folded to the back of the arms, and the Autobot symbol is supposed to be visible in robot mode.

That still doesn't fix his hollow arm, its a Masterpiece figure, the clue is in the title, it is supposed to look perfect in both modes, and frankly he doesn't.

The new MP figures do look fantastic. I wonder if Bee's face will have a metallic finish like the other Autobots.

Another very brief update from the Tokyo Toy Show, in the vein of yesterday's post rounding up the news. Rember to join the Masterpiece Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Ultra Magnus discussions in their respective threads! The mirrored images below are courtesy of site sponsor Kapow! Toys, check out some close-ups of the three upcoming MP bots. We also have an extra shot of Masterpiece Star Saber, from a different angle - join in the discussion here - and thanks to fellow Seibertron.com user Cyberpath, a video from the show!

And then put the prototypes up for auction on E-bay hehe :twisted:

I know you're joking, but that type of behaviour is really not suitable for or accepted on Seibertron.com.

Is that Bumblebee mis-transformed? It looks like the panel on his wrist is meant to close, covering the gaping hole that is left exposed (from where his fists are stored in vehicle mode)... ?

Also on some other TF site that won't be named, there is a clear shot of Star Saber with a sign that CLEARLY shows 'no pictures'. LOL.

Never really saw that as a spare wheel, isnt it supposed to mirror mold marks from the original toy?

Besides the animation model doesnt have half of his roof hanging of his back. I just think they could have handeld his tranformation a little better, a this juncture I would say ToyWorld Bii looks tons better than this. he certainly has a cleaner bot mode.

It actaully looks like a clean robot-mode to me. By itself, and certainly compared to older iterations.

TW03BII also has a back piece and it looks even more prominent.

Additionally TW03BII is missing nearly all the windshields around his torso, his hips aren't yellow, and head isn't cartoon-accurate (copied from Henkei it seems.) It does look like a cool toy, but I think MP-21 is "it."

I agree it is head and shoulders above the Classics mold, and I suppose this is a case of each to their own, but I still feel that Bii wins out in terms of the final product, BTW the side on view of Bii is slightly mistransformed, the back pack does tab in a little more than that resulting in a slighlty more streamlined look.

With the Takara Toy Fair craze still going on, we have some pricing details of the recently revealed Cloud TFC-A03 Hot Rodimus and TFC-D03 Shockwave! According to Takara Tomy representatives who were present at the showroom, both figures will be individually priced at 5,940 Yen, which is roughly $54 US dollars, a considerably cheaper price than previous entries to the Cloud series.

Also revealed is the package art for the pair, which has been mirrored below!

To recap, Hot Rodimus is a redeco of Generations Springer, and Shockwave is a redeco of Generations Whirl.

That's almost half the price in US dollars! What was the original price in Yen? Is the price difference for the Japanese as severe, or are we just suffering from US retailer markup?
