MP-35 Grapple

I managed to get mine about 9pm, I was playing a game and forgot hehe.

I was thinking about that yesterday.

The fists probably fold into the arms, exposing ports for the accessories to plug into.

inferno has both fists as seen when he is holding his gun

Nice one. So hmm they both have two fists and a hose/missile by default and an extra hose/missile in a different colour as part of their accessory collection. Still seems an odd way of selling it.

(But I hope that future MP Hoist, Trailbreaker and Sunstreaker all continue the trend of giving you the choice of fists vs "missiles"!)

Preorders up at Ami Ami and some better quality pics:

So there's a blue print of the tower in the pic... I dont see it listed as an accessory. I wonder if that's the free gift that BBTS is mentioning about - says in their site, not yet announced . Im really pleased that Takara included the all orange head, gives us a choice. Even more pleased with the mini tower accessory... cant wait to recreate that scene .... in MP size this time heheh...

The gift that BBTS mentions should be the Asia exclusive bonus -- whatever that turns out to be.

It seems that TT doesn't show the paper accessories in the accessory group pic -- Ratchet came with his cardboard chest insert readout, but it wasn't shown in the group pic:



Instead it was shown in the "action" shots:

Takara Tomy Mall has listed Grapple as well already and the blueprint is an included accessory

Just a quick translation effort...

Transformers Masterpiece Architect Grapple transforming from Robot to a Crane Truck has appeared!!

Grapple, the proud Autobot architect, was popularised in an impressive Transformers (Fight Super Robot Lifeform Transformers) mid-season episode.

This product is not merely a redeco of the vehicle, as others up to now, to replicate animé Grapple's portly proportions about 50% of his parts are totally new sculpts. The new, built-in, crane boom arm, has a surprising transformation allowing all three parts to remain connected and are both housed in his back and contribute to an increase in the volume of both of his legs.

As seen in the cartoon, it is possible to replace the crane hook with a grapple (claw) or bucket, closer episode appearance can be achieved with a different head, three types of faces, his left arm barrel and animé reproduction replacement chest grill, in addition to the miniature Solar Tower model designed and built by Grapple, its fabricating tool and blueprints.

As an architect of his own dreams, Grapple wins his reproduction as a Masterpiece.

Product Contents:
Grapple's Body (Including Orange Head, Neutral Face for Orange Head, Black Barrel, Mitsubishi Style Grill & Crane Hook) (1), Animé Style Grill (1), Bucket Attachment (1), Grappling Attachment (1), Solar Tower (1), Grey Head (1), Face for Orange Head (Smiling) (1), Face for Grey Head (Neutral) (1), Face for Grey Head (Shouting) (1), High Heat Rifle (1), Barrel (Silver Plated) (1), Tool (1), Blueprint (1), Instructions Manual (1), Collector's Card (1)


I added in the "Pre-Order dates", which won't be displayed until after they expire, "Collector's card" and "(Including..." bits to avoid confusion as to what does and doesn't come with this figure, and omitted the wrapping, pre-order, domestic shipping only, payment & people who bought this also... info.

In the release date "Late" in TomyMall terms mean any time between the 21st & 31st (28th in this case) of the month (Early means 1st-10th, Middle means 11th-20th) for those of you who'd like to speculate on an exact release date - don't forget that even announced date can change.

Enjoy

They both look great. Great to see some subtle differences they've added to the mold compared to Inferno.

Exactly how I'm feeling

Thought the shipping would be much higher. Kind of wish I had have waited for it but already ordered from PC.
