What’s crackin’ lil bitches? The Masterpiece Movie line continues to fill in the Movie 1 ranks with MPM-9 Jazz!  Keeping his look as the all silver Pontaic Solstice, Jazz comes ready for battle with his blaster, Sam running with the Cube, and an add-on robo spinal cord so you can recreate his tragic death at the hands of Megatron!  Yes, he does split in two, a feat of engineering since it essentially requires transformation elements to be in two separate halves.  He stays in scale being the smallest of the bunch both on screen and in MPM form.   All in all it’s a great piece, one of the MPM line’s sharpest in both modes IMO.  Read on to check some key pics or hit the full gallery here for 55+ shots!

He’s in stock now and shipping from TFSource!

under Beast Wars, Transformers Masterpiece

Attention Beast Wars fans! We can share our first in-hand images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia for your viewing pleasure.

Fan-favorite femme-fatale has been waiting for a real cartoon-accurate representation of her first form for many years. It seems it was worth the wait. We have a great looking spider mode which looks not only natural but with fully articulated legs and an impressive finishing. The robot mode is as if she were taken from the animation. We are glad to confirm that the robot mode has almost no backpack, and it features a great range or posability.

We also have a look at all the extra accessories: 2 interchangeable faces, visor & cable, anchor missile, base and the spider web pieces. A plethora of ways to display Blackrachnia in your collection. For those fans worried about scale, we also have comparison shots next to the rest of Beast Wars Masterpiece figures.

Check all the mirrored images on this news post, as well as a video review, after the jump. Ready to add Blackarachnia into your collection? Look for a pre-order via our sponsors links below

under 3rd Party Unlicensed

New third party company Devil Saviour (formerly known as Bombusbee) has shared via Weibo the images of the gray prototype of their DS-03 Compresor (Revenge Of The Fallen Overload)

This mold is part of the Devil Saviour Troublemaker, a complete set of seven Revenge Of The Fallen Constructicons that can combine into Devastator. A very interesting alternative over the ongoing Studio Series version.

Devil Saviour’s take on Overload bring us a very original robot mode, slightly based in one of the unused Contructicons concept art samples. The robot looks bulky and menacing with a very movie-accurate alt mode.

To make things even more interesting we have shots of the combination with BB-01 Split (ROTF Mixmaster) And BB-02 Giant Axe (ROTF Scavenger) as Devastator’s torso. We are sure your optics will be please with the amount of detail of the combination.

We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Click on the  bar to see the new images and share your impressions on this alternative to ROTF Devastator on the 2005 Boards!
