2005 Boards member Masabon has shared with us more news and images from the Tokyo Toy Show 2013, including a video of the Takara-Tomy presentation that among other things unveiled Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe.
News was shared about Masterpiece 20. It is reported that MP-20 might be a new concept for the line, however, please also see the additional information and transcript of what was said in this story.
In Masabon’s pictures, we have more pictures of the Transformers toy displays including:
- TG-23 Metroplex in all three modes – with these new images, we can see all the main differences between US and Japanese versions of Generations Metroplex. As well as the chromed face, additional black on the legs and white ramps in base mode, the city ramp from the chest will also be white on the inside, and it would appear that the chest-mounted artillary battery is also red.
- Generations Japan Springer and Blitzwing are, in fact, the Takara-Tomy ones. Spinger features slightly darker green and a stronger grey, and Blitzwing is mostly the same as the US version – but his helmet is done in gold rather than yellow.
- The Transformers Go! OVA DVDs are patterned to look like the Cybertronian Data Disks, which is pretty cool
- The RC Transformers series is shown in a bit more detail, with some more pictures of the Bumblebee styled Camaro, and also an Optimus Prime truck version shown.
- There are also lots more images from the display and from the presentation, check them all out attached to this story!
Major, major thanks to 2005 Boards member Masabon for sharing this with us! Check out his video of the Takara-Tomy presentation below:

Remember the last time Takara Tomy said " no comment " or "we have no plans"…it was about the MP Soundwave. Then next thing ya know, Boom!
REMINATOR
I'm just basing onnsake translation from the QA session, "no, nothing planned".
brr-icy
where did they say they had no plans for him? i just thought it was no comment
Stepper
I rather TakTomy give us MP Huffer together with MP 10 even though it may have cost more for MP10.
REMINATOR
If it hadn't been Hasui twitter mocked up image of MP10 w/ G1 UM trailer, I'll probably got some sort MP UM from 3rd party by now. A couple of 3rd Party UM projects had to be scratch off. They scare 3rd parties away, darn it. Now that TTomy had said they got no plan for him, I hope that would encourage 3rd party to revisit UM project again. Also, agreed with the no add on, but a full UM. I wouldn't mind either a G1 or IDW Don design.

It will be nice if MP20 is Mirage,at least is a new mold,not a repaint.

I think in quite a few countries across the world advertizing for tabacco brands and products is frowned upon, and especially associating tabacco brands with toys is illegal. So I don't think we'll ever see a Marlboor / Marlboro Lancia again…
Slicer would be great, though!

The dude that whipped up MP10 did say he'd like to do an MP Huffer some day
Star Saber
What about Gears or Huffer?

I for one will not get any 3P add on for MP Magnus, thanks.
David Hingtgen
Cue for 3P companies to start making a G1 Magnus. (as in from scratch with a properly boxy G1-esque cab, not a ridiculously huge gun for Classics UM that also includes some armor)
Yeled
No. Jazz would indeed be awesome, but honestly I could handle any member of the Ark crew. Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Mirage…none of those would be disappointing.
Stepper
I will be disappointed because Jazz is one of my favourite G1 character.
PoweredConvoy
No.
Stepper
If MP20 turns out to be other character than Jazz,will all of us be disappointed?
Skeeve
I love g2 sideswipe, but would prefer a red head.

I'd be most amused to see a Masterpiece Wheeljack sometime as I'd be wondering if to make the money from the mould would they be legitimizing (and naming) Marlboro Wheeljack as a new Character and also making a Decepticon Slicer.. I think there's plenty of people would bite Takara's arm off for a Transforming Lancia Slicer toy.
It would be interesting if they did get the License to Lancia if a G1 reissue would follow on too or if they did get the Porsche License or the VW one would it make it one heck of a nuisance for them with regard to prior moulds that resemble Beetles or Porsches but were unlicensed.

holy crap! the Prime-Beast Hunters cast in traditional anime format? but they still have no actual noses?
