A small image from the upcoming Transformers Generations Book 2021 reveals an image showing the first sketches of the upcoming Takara Tomy Masterpiece Shouki.

This will finally be our first real update of Takara Tomy Masterpiece Raiden project revealed while back in October 2019. Shouki is part of the Trainbot team which can combine into Raiden as seen in the G1 Japan “The Headmasters” cartoon.

There’s still no additional information about this figure, but the sketches reveal a very promising and detailed design. Click on the bar to see the mirrored image on this news post and then share your impressions on the 2005 Board!

Flame Toys Japan have shared, via their Facebook account, images of a production sample of their impressive Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Leo plus some new images on his combined form as Victory Saber.

The Kuro Kara Kuri line brings us officially licensed non-transformable action figures with top-quality finishing and material including die-cast. Victory Leo design is based in his alt mode as seen in the Transformers Victory cartoon with a highly stylized design. He comes with extra parts, cannons and armor pieces to be combined with Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Saber to form an impressive Victory Saber combo!

As reported previously, Kuro Kara Kuri Victory Leo release date had been pushed back to April 2021. Click on the bar to see the new images attached to this news post and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

under Beast Wars, Japanese Transformers

Courtesy of Transformers At The Moon we can share for you images of the rare Beast Wars Neo Lucky Draw Red Heinlad.

This is another rare and mysterious campaign price figure released only in Japan while back in 1999. This a special red and black redeco of the Heinrad toy. This new images come via the pages of the recently published Transformers Beast Wars Beast Generation Book (only in Japan). This was a very obscure item, with only one small pic seen before. Now a new challenge comes: Try to find the toy itself. It is still unclear how many of these toys were made, but many of the lucky draw items from that era were limited to 10 units or even less.

Courtesy of Transformers At The Moon we can share for your our first image of the rare Lucky Draw TV Magazine Color Competition Beast Wars II Galvatron.

Some things take time to be revealed, and the field of exclusive and limited Transformers items is sure full of surprises yet. This figure was part of a TV Magazine Color Competition in 1999 where special redecos of several Beast Wars II toys were offered. You could win Diver, Bighorn, Tasmania Kid, Scuba, Apache, Lio Convoy or Galvatron. While most of these items are already hard to find these days (even pictures), this is the very first time we have a look at this yellow, red and green BW II Galvatron toy via the recently released Transformers Super Encyclopedia pocket book. A great discovery after 21 years of its original release.

Now here comes a question: When will we ever see images of the toy itself? Patience will be our best ally, considering that the special colored Beast Wars II Lio Convoy toy from the same year was only seen in pictures until it was shown in physical form at the Transformers 35th Anniversary Celebration – Transformers Fight! Super Robot Sonic Festival 2019.

Via Baidu user -阿宅- we can share for you our first in-hand images of the impressive Transformers Generations Selects God Neptune.

God Neptune is an amazing Generations Selects King Poseidon/Piranacon redeco as the famous Beast Wars II gestalt who is made up by Halfshell, Coelagon, Sea Phantom, Terrormander, and last but not least, Scylla which is not just Tentakil redeco but a remold to match her animation model as a fembot. Lobclaw/Nautilator is not present since he was not part of the Seacons in the original Beast Wars II cartoon. We have pics of the packaging, individual shots in both robot and beast mode, and of course the combined mode as God Neptune!

God Neptune was planned as a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive in Japan, but you can still pre-order it via our sponsors links below. See all the mirrored gallery on this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Via  雷蕭Ray Siow on Youtube we have new in-hand images of the Transformers Generations Selects Super Megatron.

This figure is a new mold which used the Titans Return Galvatron mode as a base. We have a closer look at this figure in all his modes as Super Megatron, Ultra Megatron and Ultra Megatron Omega. As we can see from the images the head features interchangeable foreheads and faces, as well as several interchangeable parts to be able to transform in all his modes. A great retool indeed for our first official figure of this character who appeared in the old G1 TV Magazine Battlestars.

Check out all the images on this news post, as well as 雷蕭Ray Siow video review, after the jump. Click on the discussion link below and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards. Super Megatron will start shipping next month and you can still pre-order him via our sponsors links below.
