We have received some new scans from Figure King which show off some cool new stuff coming out in Japan. There is another entry in the list of “weird and wonderful things Optimus Prime can turn into” with a Bearbrick x Transformers crossover, which features a version of Optimus Prime transforming into the iconic Bearbrick figure. It is only an unpainted resin prototype at this stage, so no word on whether the Bearbrick mode might have some special Transformers themed deco.
There are also some images showcasing the latest on Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, who features an alternate shouting face (or maybe it’s an “Open, dammit, open!” face). The Spike and Daniel figures are also shown in prototype form, and what little we can see suggests they are both based on their Season 3 silver jumpsuits.
There is also a callout showing the Tokyo Toy Show version of Masterpiece Streak. He is based on the original Generation 1 toy, so he’s a full silver Datsun without the black roof. He also seems to be set to include the Amazon launchers, which have been recolored to have red bases on the launchers, rather than black.
There is also a look at a D-Style Optimus Prime, and some of the new licensed product from Artstorm including the EX Gokin Optimus Prime and Grimlock. A big thanks goes to 2005 Boards member Type-R for sharing this with us.

Well, add me to the disappointed throngs that are let down by the Bluestreak exclusive.
A silver roof and tinted windows? That's ALL?
To be honest, I was actually disapointed with MP Streak at first cause I DIDN'T like the black hood. Now, I can't imagine without it…it just makes it "pop" more…all silver is gonna look so dull side by side.
I was hoping for red eyes most of all, cause that's what I remember most from the vintage toy. That are the fact that his faction symbols were almost pink compared to most other 1984 toys….him and Cliffjumper actually. Never knew why that was.
With red eyes and red launchers, I was really considering it, especially cause the Datsun is my favorite MP mold so far.
But….it looks so similar its practically idenitical. Just can't justify it unless the final production piece somehow BLOWS out minds!! But how can it?
I too wil wait a a blue version (with yellow eyes) or nothing!!!

I'm going to buy the bear brick Optimus for my youngest girlfriend d

Seriously, how quickly people forget poor Tigertrack.
I'm also hoping for Clampdown and Deepcover eventually. Only thing blue. Bluestreak has against him is that he hasn't been turned into a new character yet.
Yet.
Who says the MP one can't be a new character?
Sam
MP-12T? There's a reason why his autobot stickers were optional

I don't think we will ever see a Diaclone repaint of any of the MP line.. The MP Line is Transformers so they are only going to be doing Transformers.. If they had any plans too do diaclone we would have gotten a Diaclone Convoy by now and Seekers and Lambos…I Think the Only way we will see Diaclone versions is if Takara started a Masterpiece Diaclone line, which I would love.
PoweredConvoy
Well we have the original version, which is a Diaclone color scheme. Just not the blue Diaclone color scheme (he was available in blue & silver and silver & black).
This Tokyo Toy Show version is based on the actual Transformer toy coloration.

I am very disappointed that we are not getting the diaclone colored version of Bluestreak.

I wonder what they were thinking when they requested this repaint ? if you can call it that
it looks exactly the same except for the hood pretty much
I'm sure the vast majority have cancelled and more will do so
AND if you do want it I advise you to wait because this will CERTAINLY be on the clearance section on BBTS by by christmas.

All hopes is lost for a Blue Bluestreak.

Yeah, what I'm saying is, the launchers are to make the MP 'more toy accurate' and this all silver deco is more toy accurate, so I would have expected it to be welcomed with open arms by the toy launcher users (I'm not a fan of them myself, purely because I'm a 'toon guy' and the mold already comes with toon launchers ).
I hope it isn't just that same bronze-brown-grey as the regular, that would make it a lot less special. I'd still buy, but yeah G1 silver would be my preference. Or somewhere inbetween!
It's odd, that a deco which hardly existed (did it in Diaclone? Not even sure!) is more desired than the original toy colours we all grew up with! I can certainly see why TT would want a version out there in traditional G1 toy deco.
Stepper
I need the Dino/Mirage!
ambitron
No, MP-18 is the more screen accurate. Bluestreak had the black bonnet and roof in the cartoon, like the standard Masterpiece:
The Tokyo toy show version is meant to be like the G1 toy, which didn't have the black.

I don't understand the hate as well!? Though I'm not getting it, he is more screen accurate of the two, isn't he? I guess the real reason is that people were anticipating the diaclone version and are now disappointed because the difference between this version and the original mould isn't that much to warrant them buying it.
ambitron
I might still pick it up if the silver turns out to be like the G1 toy, a much brighter silver than on MP-18. But if it uses the same dark silver, as per the mockups, it's just not different enough, and I love Bluestreak as he is anyway. But yes, roll on the blue one!
Thundershot
Most people that wanted launchers either got the amazon ones or a 3rd party… I have the Guilty ones and love them.
OptimusTimelord
Gotta say, I'm surprised at all the hate for Silverstreak. Where are all those folks who prefer the giant Amazon shoulder launchers for 'toy accuracy' – isn't this figure the perfect complement for those?
I'm still gonna pick him up because I think he does actually look better all in one colour, even though I'll keep regular Streak in my main 'toon accurate' display. I wonder what colour Hasbro's TRU version (if there is one) will be? If anything I'd have expected that to be the silver 'toy deco' and TT's to be Diaclone blue. Ah well, as long as we get the blue one eventually… This is such a great figure, I'll definitely get the blue too
DarkSkyfire
Must be nostalgia for the original G1 toy or something 'cause after seeing Silverstreak…I want. I like the black mirrors and hood vents. The shoulders I think would look better if they were black and not silver. Will keep preorder…for now.
Bruticon
Well, no one has an MP Silverstreak so there are no versions to pick from.
SouthtownKid
I don't have an MP Silverstreak.
And I hate to say it, but if I was going to get one, it would be this version. I understand it being a waste for those who were considering double-dipping. But as someone who doesn't have one, this version would be my pick.
