Masterpiece MPG Raiden

[griffin]

Some more leaked images and a mysterious tweet by TakaraTomy suggests that the Masterpiece Trainbots will be under a new sub-line called MPG - Masterpiece Gattai (which roughly translates to Combine or Union).
Since the Trainbots are a Combiner, and the first Combiner Team to be released in the Masterpiece line, it makes sense that TakaraTomy would make a big deal over it, and package them in a special way to make it obvious that you need to collect the set to complete the combiner.



It apparently also says that the official reveal will be done very soon.

So creating a new sub-line, makes me think this combiner won't be a one off then.

Does that mean it's going to be individual releases?

You beat the major TF new sites to this news.

I'm very impressed by details on the altmode, and it even includes the track. I wonder how many train enthusiasts who aren't TF fans will buy this.
The bot mode resembles the animation model too, though a little busy with the detailing.

Hope it’ll be like cw Devastator and can scale with both mp and mainline as a combiner

Mainly because we will never see a chug raiden i reckon

The individual trainbots are somewhere between Ironhide and Sideswipe's height, based on the G1 charts i've seen.

I think MP trainbots will scale with the existing MPs in individual bot mode. This should make the trainbots around a CW Constructicon's height.

I doubt the combined MP Raiden will 'scale' at all, understandably, but most fans will be OK as long as the individual bots scale with MPs.

Perhaps their train modes will be in a popular train model scale to appeal to train enthusiasts.

Before Haslab Star Saber I might have agreed.

Now... Just seems like (with several JG1 toys from the past couple of years, and more coming) all sorts of things like this might be possible.

I do not collect masterpiece, but as a train fan these are looking like instant buys! Glad that next year's Legacy line doesn't pull me like WFC ... going to be expensive!
