In the latest edition of Japanese hobby magazine, an article talking about the future of the Transformers Masterpiece series reveals that the 2014 Masterpiece series releases will have a new designer - Hironori Kobayashi will be taking over the reins from Shogo Hasui, who brought us the Masterpiece series releases from MP11 Starscream version 2 through to the recently released MP19 Smokescreen.

You need not worry though, because Hironori Kobayashi is no stranger to the Transformers Masterpiece series - he was the designer on the first ten Masterpieces that Takara and later Takara-Tomy released, from MP1 Masterpiece Convoy / 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime to MP10 Convoy Version 2. He also did the initial work on MP3 Starscream, which was revised by Shoji Kawamori. Mr Kobayashi's other Transformers design credits include the Alternity series.

Please note that this does not affect the design of the Masterpiece Star Saber, which is being undertaken by Hishashi Yuki as previously reported.
