We have something quite interesting to show you this morning. An image has surfaced via Chinese platform Tieba, showing what seems to be our possible first look at the test shots of Masterpiece Shouki.

Takara Tomy revealed in 2019 their plans for a Masterpiece Trainbot Combiner Raiden, a Japanese exclusive character and toy from 1987. We had very few updates on this project over the time, and now we have a possible look at two test shots of one of the Trainbots: Shouki, in robot and train mode. Robot mode looks pretty similar to the sketch revealed via the Transformers Generations Book 2021.

Take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. In the mean time, you can see the mirrored image on this news post and then sound off your expectations on the 2005 Board!
