The recently revealed Masterpiece MP-48 Lio Convoy at Tokyo Toy Show has not shown any extra accessories so far. A small scan from the last Figure King Magazine shows a clear shot at a Beast Wars II Artemis Figurine that may be included as part of Lio Convoy extra accessories.

For those unfamiliar with this character, she was a regular character from the Japanese Beast Wars II series, which is where Lio Convoy was one of the main protagonists. She’s a robotic teen girl who was like a sentinel of Planet Gaia, watching over the planet from the moon. The figurine looks very cartoon-accurate and fairly articulated.

Stay tuned with TFW2005 for further details and updates. Figure King Magazine images should surface soon and we may see more about MP Lio Convoy and the extra parts or accessories included (Artemis’ transforming rabbit Moon maybe?).

This past weekend Robocon was in full swing, which included a display full of Beast Wars prototypes, unused concepts, and much more! Included in the display are of course those prototypes we as fans love to see with their wacky colors or mix of parts to create the figures we eventually release from their cardboard prisons! Also included is a great piece of insight into ideas that fans rarely see such as a crazy concept for Beast Wars toys which included rubber / latex coating to cover up joints of the figure.

It’s rare to see such a collection of figures so be sure to click the discussion link below for more images and details from those that attended the show about these incredible items! Hat tip to the convention crew and attendees for sharing!

Takara-Tomy have showcased the next entry into the Transformers Masterpiece series at the Tokyo Toy Show. Quelling earlier rumors of an announcement of a version 3 Starscream, the next Masterpiece after Blackarachnia and Hound will be Lio Convoy!

Lio Convoy was the Cybertron / Maximal leader in the cel-animated 1998 spinoff series, Beast Wars Second. In this series, he led a small crew of Maximals on the planet Gaia as they fought to keep the dangerous Angolmois energy out of the hands of Galvatron and his Destron soldiers. He is the second of three Beast Wars era Maximal commanders, alongside Optimus Primal and the mammoth Big Convoy, who received an animation-accurate reissue of his original toy in the Transformers Encore line earlier this year.

Lio Convoy will be the 48th entry into the Masterpiece series. He sports an animated accurate robot mode that is scaled to stand roughly the same height as the Beast Wars Masterpiece Optimus Primal figure. His lion mode similarly channels the animation’s Kimba the White Lion inspired design, with similar sacrifices to the original toy. Reports suggest that Lio Convoy will arrive in the hands of fans in January / February 2020.

We’ve got official images of Lio Convoy via Dengeki Hobby, as well as images from the display via @Chohenkan, @hayatoron, @Masabon2011 and @Portarmy on Twitter!

Takara Tomy YouTube Channel has uploaded a new Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia Official Promotional Video for your viewing pleasure.

The video features a Takara Tomy employee (the designer, maybe?) showing off Blackarachnia in robot mode. We can see how the articulation on the legs works, so that she can even sit down crossing her legs. The video also shows the original Blackarachnia toy (known as Black Widow in Japan) mentioning how they really worked trying to bring the anime/cartoon look of her. We can also see Blackarachnia’s size compared next to Masterpiece Megatron and Optimus Primal. We are sure, Blackarachnia fans will really be pleased with this material

The video es region-locked, but fear not since 2005 Boards member primalxconvoy has provided us with a mirror. Check the video below and then join to the discussion on the 2005 Boards! Don’t forget that Blackarachnia is available for pre-order via our sponsors below

Courtesy of Ami Ami we can share for you clear official stock images of the most recent entry in the Beast Wars Masterpiece line: MP-46 Blackarachnia.

The images show off our beloved bad spider-girl in all her glory, revealing a wide range of poseability in robot mode. She can sit crossing legs, the spider legs can be positioned as guns (very cartoon-accurate) and she can even make a high kick! We also have a look at some of the accessories included, like her gun and visor, and an extra head with green eyes.

We also have better shots of the spider mode, definitively better transformed compared to our first images from Shizuoka Hobby Show. The robot arms are more hidden and the main spider’s body looks more integrated. The spider legs are strong enough to hold the spider weight,and  she can be attached on her spiderweb accessory for a great display.

Check the images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Once again, from Takara Tomy Display at Shizuoka Hobby Show 2019, we can share more images of the new Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-46 Blackarachnia. We finally have our first look at her spider beast mode.

The spider mode looks very cartoon-accurate and keeping the proportions of the body. The robot mode seems to be integrated, but with visible robot legs by her sides. Could it be another case of transformation mistakes?

Coming in hot from the Shizuoka Hobby Show we have our first look of how MP-46 Blackarachnia will be colored. Keep in mind this is still a prototype and some changes might be made before her actual release which is still unknown. Big thanks to Dengeki Hobby for sharing the photos.

Update: New images of Blackrachnia’s beast mode added
