That robot mode makes my brain itch. It's a physical object that shouldn't exist, yet there it is.

Diaclone coloured version, for all you lucky cash-cows!
I just really hope it trickles down to the regular line because I'm done buying MPs, but they haven't gotten him right yet elsewhere. I'll pay leader prices for a Voyager size Rhinox if they can manage it.
MP Transformers, now with pre-yellowed plastic!
MPG-08 Trainbot Yamabuki
Yellow and green redeco of Yukikaze with a new fembot head.
Also included is a new combiner head for the combined form named "Shiden".

Yay! More pre-yellowed plastic!
First Look at MP-60 and MPG-09!
For those of us that grew up with Power Master Optimus Prime, there is some good news! First,

It wouldn't happen in the eternal era of toon, but I would have preferred something chunkier. Super Ginrai is just way too lanky. Imagine this with Godbomber boots.
But someone had to finally do this bot properly, and since Hasbro has seemingly little interest I guess it was going to have to be Ginrai.

Sorry about the (counter?) post at the other thread. I tried to search for "masterpiece" in the forum Search but couldn't seem to find the thread this time around. I've bookmarked it now so hopefully it won't happen again.First Look at MP-60 and MPG-09!

Help me, Missing Link. You're my only hope.
One thing, though, this probably DOES preclude the Powermaster Optimus Prime so many were saying could be a next HasLab, at least for a time. There was seven years between MP Star Saber and his Legacy toy, and seven years between Encore Omega Prime and HIS HasLab, so I'm guessing Takara is probably going to want this one to be 'their' claim for a while. On the other hand, like Missing Link, I'd not be surprised at all if HasbroPulse and others don't import it, in both flavors. And like MP Saber, there's no guarantee Ginrai's combining partner will even exist.
This post is a paradox because Ginrai's cartoon model was toy-accurate.
The cartoon model may have been toy accurate but there's still some deco differences between the toy and the character model. (And considering that the Google Translate of the MPG-60 release makes mention of 'included stickers' to apply to the trailer to make the 'toy version of Super Ginrai', it's pretty clear what they're talking about when it comes to marketing the standard MP as being toy-based and the MPG as being anime-based.
