MPG - new Japanese Transformers series
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Miles per gallon????
because whoever put the teaser image together probably fucked up and just put the word 'giant' twice?
Interesting to see something coming out of Japan again.
Yeah MPG could stand for Masterpiece Gattai. Like MPM is Masterpiece Movie.
Masterpiece Grandus?
Doesn't fit with the "Gattai" bit.
He does combine in vehicle mode.

Mystery solved.
Yep. I guess this is why that third party company rushed pre-orders for theirs out yesterday.
There's five other figures that go with him. And if the set doesn't somehow fail, then there's still another potential 10 or so sets to come after.
As far as single/low figure count lines, wouldn't be the first time. Trans-Scanning, Dual Model Kit, that SUV Optimus with snap on body panel options, etc.
Now create a line for that Armada Prime already.
Well, I for one am very interested.
Price pre-discounts is 19800 reportedly. Which puts him at Hound's price. So he's not likely Deluxe sized (remember Shouki was also the shortest of the Trainbots (but that doesn't mean he is here)).
