Transformers 3rd Party

Third Party company Zeta Toys, via their Facebook account, have uploaded images of the gray prototype of their Zeta EX-15/16/17 (Masterpiece Scale Seekers). 

3P collectors may recognize that this is in fact the previously seen Toyworld Masterpiece Seeker mold we had seen while back in 2016 but it was never released. Zeta Toys will finally release this interesting Starscream/Thundercracker/Skywarp alternative for the Masterpiece scale for those who don’t look for the cartoon-accuracy design of recent releases.

Third party company 115-Utopia on Weibo have shared images of their new YYW-11 upgrade kit for Transformers Earthrise Voyager Grapple.

This new kit consists of:

• Front bumper fillers for alt mode x2
• Leg fillers x2
• Cannon grip
• Leg extender x2

While the extra filler parts and cannon grip are good improvements for the figure, the leg extenders sure got our attention. Once installed, Doubledealer becomes taller and gets a better knee articulation too. A nice alternative to improve Earthrise Doubledealer for display. We still have no concrete information on price, but this kit should be out sometime soon.

Third party company Fans Hobby, via their Facebook account, have uploaded new images of the prototype of their upcoming MB-18 Energon Optimus Prime. 

This a very nice and promising take on Energon Optimus Prime. An updated design featuring better proportions and poseability in robot mode with a new modular system trailer which allows you different configurations for better playability. Keep in mind that these is a very early prototype and several changes may be done in the final product. For those wondering about the scale, there are comparison pics next to Fans Hobby MB-15 Naval Commander (Armada Optimus Prime).

Via Transfans we can share for your images of the gray prototypes of the new Moon Studio MS-01 Dark Night (G1 Getsuei) And MS-02 Ice Land (G1 Yukikaze).

These figures are modern takes on the Japanese G1 Trainbots and they are part of Moon Studio Radiatron / G1 Raiden combiner. As we can see from the images both figures look pretty detailed, specially in train mode. We also have a look at their respective combiner mode. As with the original G1 figures, each robot form one leg of the combiner. According to the information posted, each robot will be around 24 cm tall and 26 cm long in alt mode.

Fans Hobby, via their Facebook account, have uploaded images of the the updated gray prototype of their latest project: MB-14 Masterforce Headmaster Jr. Cab / Hosehead.

This figure is inspired by Cab from the G1 Japan Masterforce cartoon (which was based in G1 Headmaster Hosehead). The mold looks very cartoon-accurate in both modes with a highly poseable robot mode. Of course, he has a functional Headmaster unit which is pretty articulated for its size and fits inside the fire truck mode. A very nice companion for MB-12 Athena (Masterforce Minverva) and MB-13 Ace Hitter (Masterforce Goshooter).

We still have no concrete information on price or release date yet, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates. Now click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
