A new image of what seems to be our possible first look at Masterpiece Thundercracker 2.0 have been surfacing over social media.

As usual, take this with a grain of salt until we get an official confirmation. This looks like a direct redeco of the new Masterpiece Starscream 2.0 mold. The image also shows some accessories like interchangeable faces and blast effects.

Let us know your impressions on this possible new Masterpiece figure on the 2005 Board!

Thanks to 2005 Board member Automorpher we can report our first world sighting of Transformers Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee in Singapore.

The Masterpiece rendition of the G1 fembot was spotted at Takashiyama. We hope this means that other countries may get this new figure and online retailers may ship it soon.

Happy hunting!

Courtesy of Instagram user soundwavescat we can share for you a great in-hand gallery of the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-51 Arcee.

This is our first Masterpiece mold of the Autobot fembot. We have a closer look at Arcee’s four different face plates all of which can utilize her eye shield/scanner. Additionally, we can see Arcee’s robot mode showing off her posability and some of the accessories included. Keep in mind that this is a pre-production sample revealed some weeks ago, so there may be some changes in the final product. This figure will be officially released by December this year.

Update: Additional images in vehicle mode thanks to soundwavescat on Instagram

Let the trails lead where they may. I will follow… Time for another photo set, this go is for MP-50 Masterpiece Tigatron!  MP50 continues the Beast Wars early cast line up with that “other cat” from the first season.  The original toy was a repaint of Cheetor, but in the show (and real life) Tigers are bigger than Cheetahs.  So Takara did it right here and made him significantly bigger than MP-34 Cheetor.  On first glance it looks like an upscale, but he has a significantly different transformation and articulation.  Most notably his tiger head from beast mode is properly his chest in robot mode.  He’s a larger figure, second only to Dinobot.  All in all I found it fun to mess around with and think it looks great on the shelf with his Maximal brothers.   We’ve run him for a set, basic and fancy, so hit the link below to check out over 60 HD images!  We’ve also added some to this story after the break.
