1st Look At MP-08 Grimlock Proto, Disney TF & Henkei!

By bwbm on Wednesday, October 15, 2008

Wow! Do we have some crazy news for you! After confirming that Masterpiece MP-08 Grimlock is going to finally come to fruition (twice, actually) and reporting on the possibility of a Mickey Mouse Transformer, we now have images to show you!

First up, the one you have been waiting for, MP-08 Grimlock! As reported before, the pricepoint is 13,000 Yen (~$130 USD) with a March 2009 release month.

The figure will have an LED light in the right fist for the ability to light up the gun and the sword. The eyes can also change colors in both modes, and the figure is partly made up of die cast construction.

"Haggisjin" writes that accessories allow for a "waiter mode," which explains the tray the figure is holding in dino mode.

Next, not only do we have confirmation of the Transformers Disney Mickey Mouse, we have visual confirmation as well. The figure will cost 3,990 Yen (~$40 USD).

The colored version will hit shelves February 2009 while the black and white version hits shelves in March 2009.

The figure will transform from a trailer truck to a robot. Mickey Mouse is in the driver's seat while in vehicle mode, and on top on the robot's head (as shown in the silhouette of the figure).

In robot mode, the arms of the robot will move up and down when pushing down the upper body.

We also now have confirmation that Transformers Alternity A-02 will be Megatron! The information also confirms that the alternate mode is a Nissan Fairlady Z (a.k.a. Nissan 350Z in the states) and will be available in silver and blue flavors when released in March 2009.

"Haggisjin" also lets us know that Alternity Megatron will feature die cast, rubber tires, and has the automatic transformation gimmick "Synchrotech."

From these images of the C-16 and C-17 Henkei! Henkei! figures. C-16 is Hotroad (Smokescreen) and C-17 is Dinobot. Continuing the trend, these figure will hit shelves March 2009.


Images in the gallery include other figures, including Inferno; recently announced Encore figures Trailbreaker and Hoist; and Cyclonus. All of these images are courtesy of CyberGundam.

The original SW used mini-casettes anyway. They weren't standard size. It would be relatively easy to just make a larger version of Soundwave with a tape deck for full-sized casette minions.

Someone made a custom MP Soundwave out of MP Prime a while ago that had a real working MP3 player in it. It could also hold the G1 cassettes in his chest. If they made an MP Soundwave I'd like to see the cassettes also made larger. MP Megatron's gun mode is larger than the real life vers... read more

He just doesn't fit into the MP line due to his size. He's only as tall, or a tiny bit taller, than Universe 2.0 Galvatron and Acid Storm in the video review. He's

I'm glad to see that Dinobot does come with a sword and spinny shield thingy.

A 12" one that comes with 4 tapes, and has die cast body parts, and has an MP3 player built into it. *I know I'm dreaming.
