Takara Tomy Transformers Twitter have uploaded some additional official in-hand images of the new Transformers MPG-01 Trainbot Shouki.

Masterpiece MPG-01 Shouki is the first entry in Takara Tomy’s Trainbots combiner Raiden which was seen in the G1 Japan The Headmasters cartoon. This figure should be part of the recently revealed Transformers MPG Collection. We have another look at the robot mode and a clear look at the back of the robot mode, showing the way it works with all the kibble on his back.

If you are interested in adding Shouki for your collection, you can find pre-orders via our sponsors links below. See the mirrored images attached to this news post and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards!

Takara Tomy Website have updated two more images featuring a Transformers MPG-01 Trainbot Shouki x Tomytec Diorama collaboration.

The images show Masterpiece MPG-01 Shouki in robot and train mode surrounded by some cool Tomytec Geocolle diorama pieces. Tomytec offers a large selection of Japanese outline N Scale products including locomotives, multiple units, buildings, kits and accessories as well as trams and tramways. Takara Tomy really did a fantastic job with these images.

We have quite a bit of interesting information to share with you. Our very own TFW2005 mod and Japanese resident Gamerlingual was able to call Takara Tomy Customer service in Japan and ask about the size of the upcoming Masterpiece Raiden combiner now that we have seen his first component: Trainbot Shouki. He was lucky to get a reply about his question. According to what he was told, Masterpiece Raiden Combiner mold will be about 29 cm tall / 11.42 inches tall.

In any case, we suggest you to take this with caution until we get further details or an additional official confirmation by Takara Tomy. We have to remember that we had previously reported a small article in one Figure King magazine which mentioned that the probable size of Masterpiece Raiden would be similar to a Combiner Wars/Unite Warriors gestalt.

Thanks to Autobase Aichi Facebook, we have our first stock images of the new Transformers Masterpiece Shouki for your viewing pleasure.

Masterpiece Shouki is the first entry in Takara Tomy’s Trainbots combiner Raiden which was seen in the G1 Japan The Headmasters cartoon. This figure should be part of the recently revealed Transformers MPG Collection. We have a look at the robot mode, the realistic Series 0 Shinkansen mode and all the extra parts: gun, combiner chest plate and a very nice rail track display base for the train mode. This rail track  shows connectors, so we may assume more of them will be included with the rest of the upcoming Masterpiece Trainbots.

Update: One more image thanks to TagHobby website. They also mention a retail price of 18000 Yen which is about $161.79. 

Update 2: Official pre-orders and images via Amazon Japan and Takara Tomy Mall.

Thanks to RoboRobo Facebook and YouTube user SoundwaveNL1977 we can share for you our first look at the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-52+ Thundercracker packaging plus some new in-hand images.

The box shows Thundercracker in a running pose while shooting one of his blasters with the alt mode next to him. We also have some images of the robot mode next to Masterpiece MP-52 Starscream, some close-up shots of the accessories and a call-to-the-past shot next to G1 Thundercracker. A very nice redeco indeed, and a great companion for the new Masterpiece Starscream mold.

Thundercracker will be released in Japan as a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive but it’s already available for pre-order in the US via oir sponsors links below.
