Transformers Masterpiece

Thanks to the detective work of 2005 Board member aniline we have our first look at the upcoming Transformers Masterpiece MP-53+ Crosscut.

This figure is a retool and redeco of Mastepiece MP-53 Skids inspired by the E-Hobby exclusive Crosscut from 2002. The figure listing can be found via a search in Takara Tomy Mall website, but it’s still inactive. We can access to a small image of this new Masterpiece in robot mode. We still have no additional details on price or release date, but an official reveal should be coming soon.

Via Loopaza Mega Store, which has proved to be a reliable source in the past, we have our possible first look at the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-55 Nightbird.

This is sure an unexpected character for the Masterpiece line. We only have a small image at the moment, but it clearly reveals MP-55 as a retool and redeco of the MP-51 Arcee mold inspired by the G1 robotic ninja warrior as seen in the G1 episode “Enter The Nightbird”. Nightbird also includes several new accessories like swords, blast effects and an extra face. According to the information shared, listings for the Japanese market should go live in July 28th (together with Kingdom Scorponok and War For Cybertron Sparkless Seeker).

See the image after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Board!

The official Takara Tomy YouTube channel have uploaded a nice Transformers Masterpiece MP-52 Starscream official transformation video for your viewing pleasure.

The video shows a very useful step by step transformation sequence from the classic F-15 jet mode to a cartoon accurate robot mode. A good improvement over the previous Masterpiece Starscream molds.
