Via X-Transbots Weibo we can share for you images of the gray prototype of the new X-Transbots MX-33 (Masterpiece Scale Groove).
This is another component of X-Transbots Bastion / Defensor for the Masterpiece scale. A very promising project for sure, featuring a robot mode which can switch between cartoon or G1 toy configuration and a solid alt mode. The Weibo post indicates that the light blue parts on the prototypes will be die-cast, and it will have rubber tires. It’s expected for release in September this year.
There’s still no concrete information on price or release date but stay tune with TFW2005 for more updates. Now click on the bar to see the mirrored images on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Board!

You know… with First Aid being delayed… Could Hotspot or Blades come out before First Aid?

I hope legends Hot Spot gets released soon, as I am going to make my own limbs for him.
Gshell
Genius!

What it it's a battle station that just happens to have a trailer alt mode?

im really only interested in how vanguard turns out. Ill go these guys for combined in the end i think, but vanguard as a bot looks cool. The other bots OM i love but i prefer the proportions here for vanguard

I am interested in the combiner shell, for which I could 3D print some attachments, and not have to buy Hot Spot, Streetwise and possibly Groove.

See i want to be a cool gpuff like that but only have the one granddaughter at the moment and she is NOT interested in tfs.

Don't say that. Vanguard is my most anticipated release… and my longest held pre-order (excluding Berzerk… but then, I didn't pre-order him… my grandfather did, and I inherited it in his will).

Legends would be way easier, so makes sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if they finish the Legends set before this.

well fuck! LOL! and again, it is pretty fucking stupid of them to be making them at the same time.

This is the legends version. The MP Vanguard will be a bit different from what I have seen below.

Yeah, that XTB Stunticon trailer was pretty bad, one of if not my worst 3P experiences of all time.
It looks good and is holding up well so far, but what a pain in the butt to get it to Menasor mode.
Gshell
All he said was Hot Spot was by himself / fire truck. But… First Aid is coming with the combiner arm equipment… So that would leave Blades and Grove to have the rest of the combiner shell. Or they sell the main shell separately. Blades could be like First Aid and come with this combiner arm equipment. Only time will tell….
Dpuff
The delay is one thing. I honestly dont know what i was hoping they would do instead, but i think they lost me with the trailer thing. I cant do another xtb trailer.
Gshell
Grifter also said that Hotspot was just the fire truck….. so, Looks like we might have to buy the combiner parts separately? or like the xtb trailer… so repair base? Gross…..

I wonder if they found an issue when the started to produce a couple final test copies of the figure

He was only due in 2022….
