under Generation 1, Transformers Masterpiece

Thanks to the detective work of 2005 Board member aniline we have our first look at the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-53+ Crosscut.

This figure is a retool and redeco of Mastepiece MP-53 Skids inspired by the E-Hobby exclusive Crosscut from 2002. The figure listing can be found via a search in Takara Tomy Mall website, but it’s still inactive. We can access to a small image of this new Masterpiece in robot mode. We still have no additional details on price or release date, but an official reveal should be coming soon.

Courtesy of Taghobby website we have images of the color prototypes of Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri Rodimus & Furai Action Leo Prime from the ACGHK 2021 convention (Ani-Com & Game Hong Kong).

While both are non-transformable action figures, Kuro Kara Kuri Rodimus (inspired by his IDW Lost Light design) is part of Flame Toys high end action figures line which features die-cast and even some light effects and Furai Action Leo Prime (stylized Lio Convoy) is a smaller scale and less expensive action figure.

Thanks to Gokin.it website we have our first look at the impressive Action Toys Ultimetal Rodimus Prime And Galvatron from the ACGHK 2021 convention (Ani-Com & Game Hong Kong).

It’s been a while since we haven’t heard any update of the high-end collectible Ultimetal line from Action Toys which had previously released Ultimetal Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Megatron. Now they surprised us with not only one but two new upcoming figures: Rodimus Prime and Galvatron. Both figures feature a Japanese Studio OX design, a wide range of articulation and premium finishing. As we can from the images, Rodimus Prime includes extra parts to convert him into Hot Rod.

There’s still not much additional information about these figures, but they should be around This figure stands 17 inches (43.18 cm) tall if we consider the size of previous Ultimetal figures. See the images after the break and let us know if you are interested in these new figures.

Via Loopaza Mega Store, which has proved to be a reliable source in the past, we have our possible first look at the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-55 Nightbird.

This is sure an unexpected character for the Masterpiece line. We only have a small image at the moment, but it clearly reveals MP-55 as a retool and redeco of the MP-51 Arcee mold inspired by the G1 robotic ninja warrior as seen in the G1 episode “Enter The Nightbird”. Nightbird also includes several new accessories like swords, blast effects and an extra face. According to the information shared, listings for the Japanese market should go live in July 28th (together with Kingdom Scorponok and War For Cybertron Sparkless Seeker).
