The official Takara Tomy Hobby Channel YouTube have uploaded an official transformation video of the new Transformers Masterpiece MPG-03 Trainbot Yukikaze.
The video shows a clear look at the realistic 200 Series Shinkansen bullet train and how it can interact with included rails and stand, the connection with other Masterpiece Trainbots and how you can storage Raiden’s head inside the train. Then we have a pretty detailed step-by-step transformation into robot mode (Raiden’s head can also be attached to the backpack) and the combiner mode as Raiden’s left leg.
To top it all, via twitter users @921_peace, @highwagyu, @keisuke98064471, @fus0car0l, @RiotControl2501 and 2005 Boards member Pixelmaster, we can share for you some in-hand images of Yukikaze which has just been delivered in Japan and some Asian countries.
See the new images after the jump and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Actually same. It was over 48 hours ago I sent them an email asking about it. Still no response.

I’ve only gone from train to robot and back on the four I have, and none of them were fun to me. Part of it was the instructions being terrible.. maybe now that I know what I’m getting into, it won’t be so bad the next time.

Agreed. I genuinely love transforming Shouki, Getsuei, and Suiken (so I guess seizan too but I don't have him yet.) The only one I don't love is Yukikaze but even he's not awful. Shouki and Getsuei especially though, they are super, super fun.

Transforming them is fun IMO, very fun, and clever.
Combining them is not bad per see, is just the fact that it is so gd fiddly.

Once I hear something I will post in this thread.
KylerWilmoth
Thanks for telling me! I was about to do that myself

I only have four of them so far (1-3, 6) and they’re a pain to transform as it is… I’m dreading combining them. Not even sure if I will

I sent them an email two days ago asking about this and I have not heard anything 🙁

Combining Raiden…..is not very fun.
I don't think I've ever handled such a fiddly combiner. I get that it is an all-in-one, but man it is so hard to do anything other than a brick-standing mode. Anything else requires the stand.
This set shines in train mode.
Individual bots are cool.
Combined mode is a bonus.
Not so very excited for future combiners done this way. I mean, I'm not hating, I can see how clever these things are.

I'm the opposite, at least with Masterpiece figures. I don't even bother with the instructions, I watch an Emgo JTI so I know what to expect and minimize the risk of breaking something while learning how it works.

Oh hey, news to me. I like to feel things out without the instructions. That part didn't seem to want to move at all, so I've never tried to force it.
I think the only thing I've cracked the manuals for is to suss out the weapon storage options, since some of them aren't so obvious.

Anytime I see someone say that combiners should be done with skeleton frames, I'm going to sent them this image.
