And now fellow Autobots, and especially Optimus Prime, it gives me great pleasure to present… the gallery for MP-20+ Wheeljack!  This is another of Takara-Tomy’s cartoon inspired repaints of previous Masterpiece releases.  Wheeljack gets a sleek new deco to match his anime look, which is less busy than the Lancia racing style the toy was inspired by.  The colors are bright, the windows’ blue pops.  Structurally he is the same as his predecessor, but does come with an extra Immobilizer accessory to match the episode from G1.  Bottom line, these anime repaints are to the collector’s taste.  I personally dig them, and in this case prefer the 20+ robot mode and 20 vehicle mode.  Both give off great throw back feels for the character.

We’ve run him through a session, hit the link below to check out over 40 HD images after the break courtesy of TFSource!  You can also check a select few shots after the break.

He’s in stock and shipping now!

Masterpiece Releases: MP-20+ Wheeljack, MP-36+ Megatron, MP-29+ Shockwave, MP-17+ Prowl, Megatron, MP-44 Optimus Prime v3, Masterpiece Pre-Orders.

Many fans were surprised (to say the least) when 3 new variants of popular MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold were revealed at Wonder Festival 2019 in Japan. These new redecos were a new collaboration between Transformers and popular Atmos shoes. And to top it all, a fourth variant: MP-10 ASL Convoy Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. was released on the market a few weeks later.

It seems these were not the last MP-10 repaints that will see the light this year. Instagram user LoveStreetHype shared images from Atmoscon convention showcasing 2 more new variants: Tiger Camo Convoy Ver. & Animal Convoy Ver. both of them based on the deco of the respective Atmos shoes.

Masterpiece completist and MP-10 variant collectors now have even more items to hunt. There’s no specific information on price of release date yet, but you can check out the images after the jump and sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Courtesy of 2005 Boards member Phamduc we can share our first in-hand images of the new Masterpiece Movie MPM-08 Megatron for your viewing pleasure.

This new incarnation of Megatron (from the Transformers 2007 movie) is one of the most detailed Masterpiece figures to date. A real improvement in engineering and movie-accuracy compared to the first Leader Class Megatron toy from 2007. Phamduc shared some comments about the figure, here you are some highlights:

  • Impressive sculpt of Megatron’s complex design and details.
  • The All Spark cube included can fit into Megatron’s chest in order to recreate his final moments in the movie.
  • The backpack of the figure compress the wings better than the old Leader class toy.
  • Excellent articulation. The feet has both ankle tilt and also forward/ backward movement which makes easy to recreate poses from the movie and the promotional material.
  •  The “chain” of the battle maze is made of soft plastic. Not bendable, sorry.
  • MPM-08 Megatron is even taller than MP-36 G1 Megatron, opening the gates for more really big characters in the Masterpiece movie line.
  • Alien jet mode is huge. The legs are now placed in the rear part of the alt mode and not under the wings like the first Leader class toy.

The new Masterpiece Movie Megatron is sure a tempting piece for any live-action movie collector. Click on the bar now to see all the mirrored images on this news post and then sound off your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

About one week ago, we reported a new color version of MP-10 will be released in Japan. Now thanks to twitter user Alfes2010‘s higekuma toy blog, we have some in hand images of the MP-10 ASL Convoy Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. fresh from Japan. The set of images depicts the Masterpiece figure with its unique paint scheme, highlighting key features like the Lebron emblem on the right shoulder, the leopard print sections, and the earth toned matrix. We can also see the Convoy figure being put into some fun basketball playing poses as well (basketball accessory is not part of the release). Check out some image after the jump. For the full set of images, check out the higekuma toy blog post here. Will you be adding this to your collection of unique MP-10s? Let us know on boards!

Are you a Mastepiece completist? Well, get ready for a new repaint of the MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold. The Masterpiece MP-10 ASL Convoy Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. is coming in hot!

Takara Tomy surprised us when they showed three new repaints of the Masterpiece MP-10 Convoy/Optimus Prime mold in the last Wonderfest 2019. These variants were planned to match the deco of three different Nike Atmos shoes. Now, we have the official announcement of a fourth official Atmos variant based in the Atmos Safari Lebron Version.

A very unexpected release, now in vibrant orange, black and gray with extra details and logos that match the respective sneakers. Optimus now sports the Autobot and Lebron logos on his shoulders. According to the information shared, this product will be on sale on Saturday March 2nd, 2019 at Japanese Atmos stores and website for ¥20000 ($180.89 approximately) plus taxes. You can buy the Atmos Safari Lebron Ver. shoes separately for ¥17500 ($158.28 approximately), and it’s sure the shoes will be released in the US via the official Nike website.

Another hard-to-find Japanese variant for sure. You can watch the promotional video below and then check out all the images of this figure, including card, packaging and shots next to the Atmos Safari Lebron shoes, attached to this news post.

Courtesy of Alfes Blog we can share for you some great in-hand images of the next entry of the Masterpiece “Plus” series: MP-20+ Wheeljack Anime Colors.

This re-release of Masterpiece Wheeljack carries on the trend of giving earlier Masterpieces a second run in more animation inspired decos. In Wheeljack’s case, we get a simpler and cleaner deco, with less details and logos as we saw him on the classic G1 cartoon.

You can check out some key pictures after the jump (including comparisons images with the original MP-20 Wheeljack) and the full gallery here. Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!
