Via X-Transbots Weibo, we can share for you some images of the X-Transbots MX-XVII (T) Taiho (Masterpiece Skids Police Deco).
This new black and white deco of X-Transbots MX-17 Savant (Masterpiece scaled G1 Skids) is based on the Honda Today police car from the classic anime “You’re Under Arrest” or “Taiho Shichauzo” (There you are the “Taiho” reference on the name). Besides the colors, it will come with a new head, the original small motorcycle, and 2 small figurines based on Natsumi and Miyuki, the two police officers from the original anime series.
Interested on this mold? You can still find pre-orders in some of our sponsors below. This mold is now expected for release by August this year. You can click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Great question. And I’m clueless.
ChromeMagnus
I'd like to know as well.

When does Taiho release?
Digger
I would love a figure of Kaneda’s bike. And the Fiat 500 as well. That’d be awesome.

Man, if only we could get more transforming vehicle toys from anime. Spike's Swordfish, Kaneda's bike, FLCL vespa, Mach 5, battleship yamato, trans AM from Redline, Lupin's cars, Initial D….. Utena car lol.
Windsweeper II
Tought the title of the anime sounded familiar (not in that way) so I watched a few episodes.
I might have to get this.
So cool that they stash the rookie's bike in the back of the car in the show like G1 Skids's toy did.
GAUGE
Now that's making me want anime accurate figurines of the main cast characters.
Digger
They will be included. It was one of the early announced accessories.
GAUGE
Does it even come with those 2 female figures? I dont recall them being listed as included accessories.
ProtectronPrime
Or an autotrooper head.
BrutiKing
It might be just me, but I find it amusing on bumblebee how they hid the autobot logo on the chest, just to have a massive red symbol smack dab on the middle of the left foot.
Datatoa
I am such a sucker for Japanese police cars, I might have to pick this up, to go with my MP Prowl.
Digger
Ah that makes sense.
It’s a neat thing if it’s there. But it’s not as though his legs are missing.

Cordon has his sidekick.
Requiem Prime
I know they are perfectly to scale outside the car, but would they be to scale with the car's interior? I mean he has working doors and I assume a cavity for those seats. Would the dream require smaller girls?
Now that you've said it, the option would also be part of the dream for the YUA people. Missed opportunity.
Sovietbot
In SPb?!
Victory Force
Simply amazing, cant wait to display him with Cordon
kiyoshioni
That would have been amazing. Also…a damn hood scoop.
Junkmech
Reminds me that Savant (Crosscut) is like, top of my want list still. This guy looks pretty good, but his face may be a little silly for me.
ProtectronPrime
The only thing that would have moved this from "good" to "trouser explosion" would have been:
1) a slightly feminine remold (in the vein of Road Rage);
2) a Natsuki Tsujimoto Targetmaster and/or;
3) a Miyuki Kobayakawa Targetmaster.
