Once again, thanks to Taghobby we have images of the color prototypes of the new Transformers Masterpiece MPG-02 Trainbot Getsuei which is on display at the ACGHK 2022 event (Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong 2022).
Two color prototypes were shown. One in robot mode and another one in his realistic EF65-1000 train mode.
See the new images after the jump and then click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Raiden bust mode! Wished TT found a better way to use shouki’s legs instead of just folding it into a backpack which isn’t toon. The legs could have been engineered to fill out the waist or torso. With the backpack, it made it a pain in the ass to handle with parts colliding and forcing parts out of place. It’s just so fiddly. Without the backpack its so much better to handle.

Had some free time and thought I try making the optional toy stickers for the somewhat bland chest shield. I used vinyl decals and manually cut the patterns. I think it came out pretty good.

I finally got to lay my hands on MPG Suiken and Seizan and what there's to say not to repeat others
Alt modes are great, transformation is fairly simple and easy, qc is good. Robot modes… are not the best. All this kibble is not the best to say the least and my biggest issue is that backpacks don't compress more despite the fact that they're also partsforming!!! There're these huge gaps between Raiden's fists (I appreciate the fact that they transform and not detach!) and the backpacks that I believe could be filled somehow…
On the other hand, I found the arm bots surprisingly well-articulated – butterfly joints, ab crunch, side movement – which makes them very fun to pose and very photogenic in my opinion! All in all, I'm glad to have them and I can't wait to finish the set! Picture time:
I still refuse to keep them with MPs

From beginning to end. Honestly I cant decide which of the final gun fights is my favorite out of the Leone movies. I think originally the 3 men at the station were supposed to be Van cleef,Eastwood, and somebody else, which would mark the "end" of the man with no name movies
I went with CD Japan for my cloud across @Sinestro00 , they charge you after 2 months so I already ate that a couple of months ago. With the exchange putting something down every month has paid for everything else, especially with these giant windows.

Once Upon a Time in the West is amazing!
Sinestro00
Even Diaclone‽ That’s pretty good…
Nice change of avatar, btw. An unappreciated Leone film, probably due to Bronson, not Eastwood, starring. Also, Fonda in an uncharacteristic (for him) villain role.

But I thought MP was dead and MPG was hot garbage?

Right now you can get an unused Suiken and Seizan, between $90-100, on yahoojp it's a pretty good deal, but I'm kind of at the spot, I dont really want to spend any more money.
, it's just so much stuff coming up in the future and holes I should fill, that spending money outside of paying off POs end up a meh. I'm just glad 85% of my POs are paid off already.

Suiken sold out not even 2 hours after the sale started. Which is wild when you remember Yukikaze lasted a whole week on sale before selling out. (Though that could’ve been a case of people being more cautious with the whole leg breakage debacle)
Pulse’s sale doesn’t end until the 29th, so it’s very much in the realm of possibility that Seizan gets added on cyber Monday. To make another Yukikaze parallel, he wasn’t discounted until halfway through the last sale

Only place I saw that had sales on any of them was Hasbro Pulse, but only Suiken and even then, he sold out the first day.

You won't get deals on things that are selling.

Looks like no crazy deal on the trains.
TFSource with tax probably puts you at the amj price, snd thst doesnt include the sdded shipping.

Legs could be ok, tbh (i edited with a quick paint3d shop, lol)

I have plans for an ab extender and thigh extenders, but I need to have Kaen in hand to get measurements before I can start working on them.
Onilink
Impressive!
Raiden needs disperately an abdomen, btw (1-2 cm, not so much). Maybe with Kaen people can design a companion piece and insert an ab swivel too!View attachment 30173569
Edit: Quick'n dirty
