    More of Hasbro Leader cla... err... Takara MPG-17. Surprisingly it actually has a waist-crunch, although showing OP from the rear to demonstrate is a bit weird. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/843719

    It absolutely is, it's going back to the dark ages of MP like the early stuff or the Hasui era simplicity with "good enough" approximations in implementation. I take consolation in the fact that it is a sub-line.

    Pity they didn't add in the Star Saber from Prime show or Devastation game.

    False posting, pressed the wrong button...

    "Style Gen." is just a new sub-line within MPG (think MG Ver.Ka or MGEX) that this incarnation of Optimus Prime is kicking off, the whole thing absolutely has no bearing on characters that don't have a MP yet, those will be released when Takara deems them ready. MP was consolidated into MPG for easier management as part of Takara's toy line rebranding/restructuring, it is still the dedicated high-end line for Transformers toys. I really don't understand why everyone seems to think there is some deeper hidden truth to MPG, it's no different than Audi merging previously labelled A4 cars into the A5 line for the current generation. https://www.taghobby.com/archives/843719 It's essentially MP-10 ver. 2.0 – I am intrigued but from what I have seen so far, it is definitely nowhere near the class and sophistication of MP-44. Once again the hybrid design approach – which tends to invite the designers to oversimplify and under-engineer – holistically leads to sub-par results for the toy in sculpt, proportions and functionality.

    Ah... good times – anyone else remember this series when growing up? 😄

    The sculpting is certainly nice, but articulation is pretty poor for a 2025 collectible figure. Only 90 degree elbows, missing ab-crunch and torso tilt, no butterfly shoulders, no toe hinge and I'm not even sure there is a waist swivel available or that the head can do much more other than swivel side to side. Ironically Playmates 6" First Contact figures basically had the same range of motion bar ankle articulation 30 years ago.

    Hobby Japan got their hands on a test sample of MB Zeta Gundam. https://hjweb.jp/article/1983385/ Pattern and placement on the base is identical to the Hi-Nu one, just the text and colours differ. Wave rider wings are angled downwards. The red tip on the tail binder slides out, which opens the white part and allows the rear of beam rifle to inserted there. Pop out vernier from the heel for wave rider mode. Fully working piston within the lower leg side panel. Hard to initially recognise, but rear skirts slide/shift closer to the back plate. Beam rifle can be either stored on the wing binder or on the arm. There will be a grenade launcher for each arm. Two beam blade effect parts will be included, can also be used for the rifle.

    You are right, I think Moshow labelled the first video I posted yesterday incorrectly.

    4.543 billion years – to be exact. 😄 Nevertheless this is fantastic news and although I don't really collect PG, for the Nu Gundam I'm going to make an exception.

    Black Tri-Stars team would be so proud... Moshow will offer all three Butcher mechs as a set buy.
