Thanks to friend site and sponsor Robotkingdom for sharing via their Facebook account in-package images of Takara Movie The Best MB-16 Jetfire, MB-17 Optimus Prime, MB-18 War Hammer Bumblebee, MB-19 Hound & MB-20 Nemesis Prime.
Takara Tomy Movie The Best line brings us repaints of previous movie molds from different lines. Some of them may have a remold or new parts. This time we can see
-MB-16 Jetfire. It is the Revenge Of The Fallen leader class mold with some extra finishing details. The figure comes in jet mode, so you should expect a very big box.
-MB-17 Optimus Prime Revenge Version. It is a redeco of the ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime with the Dark of the Moon Striker Optimus’ forearms that include more accurate sculpted details while omitting the spring-loaded energon blades, as well as MB-11’s accessories and hands.
-MB-18 War Hammer Bumblebee. As his name indicates, it’s a redeco of the second Deluxe mold of The Last Knight Bumblebee which includes a battle hammer accessory.
-MB-19 The Last Knight Hound. A nice redeco of the The Last Knight Premier Edition Voyager Class figure with weapons from the Age of Extinction Generations Voyager Class figure and a new bed cover for the alt mode that can also be used as a shield in robot mode.
-MB-20 Nemesis Prime. Reoaint of Takara exclusive The Last Knight Calibur Optimus Prime mold.
Accoirding to Robotkingdom, all these figures start shipping on 24th March 2018. You can check out the mirrored images after the jump and then share your impressions at the 2005 Baords!

Yes it is. It has the part where the bottom of the Jetwing plugs in on his lower back, and the removable tanks.

Question: is the MB Prime compatible with the Jetwing pack?

My Nemesis Prime arrived yesterday. Incredible looking figure, especially in robot mode. Face swap gimmick is pretty neat, as is the weapon storage. Just wish the shield was easier to wield
Miyaren
Yep I thought so too
It’s the artwork that should have purple eyes but they ps it into blue even tho they are selling a toy with purple eyes

Got my MB-20 in today, kinda odd that they took the artwork of Nemesis prime and turned it into optimus for the nemesis figure… Haven't opened him yet but I'm very excited to own this version of the mold.

Man, that Hound looks good, but.. I kinda wish he came with the original voyager's weapons too. Maybe I can find someone willing to sell them…
LigerPrime
…and I told myself that no more bumblebee figures but this one looks so much better and it has that warhammer…
I'm in a similar boat…I wished TakaraTomy had released these versions (Bee and Hound) in the first place…

My hope is a better dragon storm and sentinel prime leaders
If they did do another wave I see a hot rod with the time stop gun being 100% possibility like their philosophy on war hammer bee: add a weapon change a shade of colour and re release a 6 month old toy!
Toolala
Obviously. I just think its unlikely they'll continue considering the fact Legends has pretty much come to an end, and that Studio Series and Power of the Primes are going to be virtually identical from both companies.
I would love them to continue this line, they really need to do stuff like Leader Class Starscream in that premium paint of MPM01 that wouldn't break the bank on the secondary market, or a decent deco of the improved deluxe Brawl mold, or new shiny decos of the constructicons, or a decently painted HFTD Fallen. the list goes on, there's lots of stuff they could do, but sadly we'll probably wont see it.

My hope is that Takara can still do their own exclusive lines while sharing the mainline with Hasbro. mB is definitely a Takara only exclusive line.
Miyaren
The ones just released such as Nemesis and War Hammer And Jerfire are all second series of MB. Really hope Takara still has leeway to do their own exclusives like the MB line in the future
Toolala
Kinda doubt we'll see anything else beyond this considering how Takara is doing that whole brand unification ordeal.
its been a good ride though, still plenty of toys I wish I had gotten before they became stupid expensive(looking at you Ratchet). even if I only got 2 toys out of the whole line, its been dope to see all these old(and new) movie molds getting some premium treatment.

I thought we're already at Wave 4 :/
Miyaren
Any guesses for wave 3 of MB? If we are getting Of coz

Yoikes.
