Thanks to Baidu user 真假对决 we can share for you our first look at the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-54 Reboost packaging plus some in-hand images.
The box shows Reboost in a stoic pose next to his alt mode. The center of the box shows the “CITY” logo related to his Honda City R alt mode. The box also shows a “Cybertron Citadel Guardian” designation. We also have some additional in-hand images in alt mode.
Check the mirrored images after the break and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Board! You can still find pre-orders for Masterpiece Reboost via our sponsors links below.

Late right along with you, I'm picking this guy up from a board member here. Reboost reminds me of the 78 Civic that was my first car, red and everything.

I know I'm real late to the party on this one but my Hasbro Pulse preorder just finally showed up. This guy is great! It's my first MP since the very first Skywarp so it's very cool to see how far things have come engineering wise.
Is there a trick to getting the rear hatch to close flush without the roof untabbing at the rear? That's been my only point of frustration with this mold so far and I'm struggling to figure it out.

I completely agree. I appreciate what they're able to do with the ultra-toon MPs but fiddling around with Skids and Reboost is just such a nice feeling!

I solved the issue with the hologram driver so it doesn’t fall apart.
I put it back in the box and it stays together just fine.
I love this guy.

The only issues I have had is the finagling of the arms into and out of underneath. Most of that tho is from my big ham hocks for hands. Big arthritic hands and small parts don't mix alot of the time. I love doing these simpler transformations again. Such a joy after all the recent 30-40 minute conversion times. Looking at you MP-44/49. 3-4 minute transformations are so much more fun. Not that I don't mind complex MPs, but just a simple twist/turn/done can be so satisfying sometimes. When I feel like a challenge, Ican just bust out one of the more complex ones like MP-36.

I got skids and I did notice it may have been the first high end TF (official or otherwise) I've gotten in a while I actually believed I could learn/master the transformation in only one or 2 go rounds. It was refreshing.

Same fig yeah. I had spike and it was less soft than this so the joint sort of tore away like skin

Recieved mine from HLJ yesterday. Yet to transform. Mainly been fiddling with the alt mode, which is quite fun in itself! I can't really see how to store the scooter without it rattling around (having the longer gun stored first helps) but the fact it and the weapons can be stored is cool.
I was thinking of cancelling my order of Crosscut, when I opted for this since he is mainly just a recolouring but… I'd kinda like a silver one.
I'd kinda like Skids too… must… resist…. gnnnnn.
Only negative thing so far: hologram's leg keeps popping off. It's almost as bad as the arms on the Spike (or is it Daniel?) in the mech-suit that came with my MP Bumblebee. (The chubby edition.)

Look at what finally showed up.
Got a message yesterday that DHL handed off my boys to usps for final delivery. Today a DHL van pulls in my driveway and hands them to me. I then get a message from usps a few minutes ago that my package may be lost. I know shipping & deliveries are a mess with the holidays & the pandemic, but get your sh*t together DHL & usps!!

I have mine from Amazon Japan…it arrived last week. But it's staying under the Christmas tree until 12/25.

Thanks!
It’s getting a little cramped, so I’ll have to find a new way to display them when more come out. My biggest regret is not getting the black Ironhide someone put out because I falsely assumed TT would eventually get to it….. Also I may end up ordering all of the XT Skids and Trailbreaker and Hoist repaints, which will beef up my collection.

That is a beautiful display.

I love the old skool masterpiece goodness of this guy. Nice easy transformation that doesn't make he hate life. Nice fusion of toon and toy. Will buy recolors.

Oh, hey, that works too! Not a perfect fit, but it stays well enough.
