Takara-Tomy have shared out in-hand pics of the next Masterpiece Gattai trainbot – Getsuei. Both modes get shown off via the BTS pics. Retail for this guy is around $200 USD and is scheduled to ship around Summer 2022. Read on to check out the pics!

New Masterpiece G product released in September 2022
■ MPG-02 Introducing Trainbot Gettsuei! Completely transformed from EF65 type electric locomotive (blue train) to robot! Because it is fully poseable, you can enjoy reproducing the poses in the play!
Update: Via an article in Animageplus website we can also share some extra stock images, Getsuei in a beautiful diorama and an extra image showing Raiden.

Yuki's just sort of the weird, slightly over-engineered one, because his alt-mode is 1/3 longer than Getsuei's, but then needs to transform into a robot and leg the same size. The way his legs double over on themselves leads to weird panel origami, that doesn't peg down the best.

At least Shouki is amazing. He's the only repaint I'll get as well. Such a good figure

It really is a shame to hear Yukikaze is the weakest link. On paper a bullet train leg should be the most simple thing ever and Takara has done a shit ton of them counting Brave and Shinkalion. Hearing Yuki unanimously botch it is disappointing.

Meme pick, or when you decide you only want to do the fun part of Yukikaze's transformation lol.

Felt adventurous so I decided to take Raiden off the stand today. Although I dodged Yuki having exploded knees, his hips did not want to cooperate with the G-lean pose. Also meme pics of Yuki.View attachment 30358834 View attachment 30358835 View attachment 30358836 View attachment 30358837 View attachment 30358838

As others have already said, I got an email from TF-Source that the box set is finally in! I can't wait to get my hands on him and FINALLY combine Raiden(I haven't even put the ones I have in their combined modes yet).

Finally got Kaen and completed the main Trainbot team, very interesting transformation and gorgeous train mode. Robot mode also looks great and is pretty expressive despite the lack of waist rotation. I'll probably get them combined for a little bit but I might wait for Ginou and his waist add-on till I consider leaving them combined on display

Oooo. There was a step in the video that just seemed like they did the same thing twice. I bet that was it.

You're using the wrong hip joints for Kaen. Straighten those ones out, and manipulate the legs closer to the crotch to bring his hips in more.
He's a squat little sumo guy, but not that squat.

I'm glad I stuck it out til the end. Kaen, while have a (typical for these guys) lengthy but not difficult transformation, had no steps that seemed scary to transform or areas that you might be afraid to break. A waist swivel would probably make him a 9 in my book, he's a wonderful tank of a bot. As before, here he is with the vintage and Moon Studios versions

Kaen is in stock at TFSource! Finally received my email

Oh sweet, I never find the official ones when I search. Thanks!

I'm finally about to transform Kaen from train into robot mode. Can anyone recommend me a good quality transformation video?

Each time I transform Getsuei, I am afraid of breaking him, especially for the leg mode when you flip the train front and have to bend the fragile joint!
I find that Yukikaze's transformation is quite astute legs-wise, once you get the hang of it. What a compression! And no partsforming.
The ones I am not too keen about are the arms Suiken and Seizan. I do not like these transformations where you have to twist multi-jointed arms and shoulders in bizarre angles. And the gigantic backpacks!

Thank you for the pics of them side by side…this is why I'm a bit torn with Raiden, I really wish he was taller…being an mpm and all…ah well.

I still haven’t managed to grab neither Overbite nor Tentakil, so I had to figure something out. And as soon as I made custom Slingshot for my Superion, Alpha Bravo became the leg for Piranacon. It’s not perfect, but at least he can stand, and it’s not that noticeable on the shelf.
