Next up in our look at recent Masterpiece releases from Japan is MP-14C Clampdown. Clampdown is a repaint of Masterpiece Sideswipe using a familiar deco seen in pre-Transformers Diaclone and then as an e-Hobby repaint of the G1 reissue Sideswipe in 2003. Now Clampdown returns in Masterpiece form to further fill in the ranks with clones and repaints. The end of 2015 alone saw 3 such releases in Road Rage, Clampdown, and Red Bumble (which we will take a look at tomorrow). Some key shots and discussion are attached to this story after the » Continue Reading.

Thanks once again to the Twitter profile of*Tagoal, we’ve received new images of Masterpiece Optimus Primal that show off the toy design of this planned Masterpiece release. These new images show off the possibilities of the toy in detail and start to paint the picture of how Optimus Primal will transform, what potential features/accessories will be included, while being compared to screen grabs taken from the Beast Wars show. As news continues to roll in, we’ll update you as quickly as we can. Fingers crossed for a prototype figure shortly!

We’ve had a quick tidbit of new information concerning the Unite Warriors version of Blast Off, who will be coming in a giftset with the other Combaticons for the Japanese market. According to reports, the Unite Warriors version of Combiner Wars Bruticus was on show at TakaraTomy’s industry exhibition, but no photos were allowed. What we have heard is that apparently, Blast Off is a complete new mold, and not a heavily retooled Fireflight as some had thought. There’s also reports that Bruticus is going to be a mass market release, and not a Takara-Tomy Mall exclusive. » Continue Reading.

After only recently learning that new versions of Boulder and Medix were on the cards for the Rescue Bots line, word reaches us that the pair have already arrived at US retail. TFW2005 member nstanosheck reports that Medix and Boulder were chilling on the pegs at Toys’R’Us in Irving, Texas. According to nstanosheck, Medix’s transformation is similar to her original toy – perhaps even a little more complex. They’ve provided us with some in-hand images of the toy in package to give a decent look at this new Rescue Bot. Check them out attached to this post.

This time we get a good look at Blast Off’s robot mode and alt mode which in turn provides a better idea as to how his transformation will work. From the looks of it, Blast Off is indeed an all new mold and not an amalgamation of parts or some sort of heavy remold of a pre-existing figure.
