Takara have suprised everyone by announcing over on the Takara Tomy mall that they will be releasing Masterpiece Ramjet after all this time. The figure is numbered MP-11NR and is a remold of the MP-11 Starscream figure. He is priced at $134 and will be released at the end of February 2016. Does this mean that Dirge and Thrust will also finally be seeing official Masterpiece releases? We'd expect so.

So Botcon is taking place this weekend over in the United States whilst the Toyko Toy Show is taking placed in Japan at the same time, so here is a round-up of the news so far:
BOTCON
The additional figures for this years set turned out to be General Optimus Prime, Sergeant Hound, Diaclone Skidz (Burnout), Diaclone Hoist (Lift Ticket), The Waruders 4-Pack with the Custom Class figure being Galva-Leo Convoy a recolour of the Collectors Club exclusive figure based on the original "Lucky Draw" figure of the same name.
Transformers Titan Wars - This will be the toyline following on from the Combiner Wars theme and sees the return of the Headmasters to the main Transformers line. Wireframe outlines were shown, drawn by Emiliano Santalucia (going by his Facebook reaction), which include Blaster (now a Headmaster), Astrotrain (a triple changer headmaster) and Fortress Maximus (a re-tool of Metroplex wtih both Cerebros and Spike much like the original toy / character). More is expect to be announced on this over the weekend.
TOKYO TOY SHOW
Meanwhile in the other big news was being announced.
Masterpiece Ironhide was confirmed and shown. The figure, as you would expect from the Masterpiece line, is very muhc designed on the animated series and will come with a whole host of weapons and accessories. You can expect a Ratchet repaint and, most likely, a black "Diaclone" version later (in our opinion).
Masterpiece Optimus Primal / Gorilla Convoy - Masterpiece is going Beast Wars! To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Beast Wars, 2016 is going to see the Masterpiece line cover that incarnation of Transformers start off with the Maximal leader Optimus Primal. A mock-up was shown in beast form which you can view below.
Also shown at the event were Unite Warriors Devastator, this is the Japanese release of the Combiner Wars Devastator set with Scrapper, Long Haul, Hook and Mixmaster all being remoulded to include elbow articulation unlike the Western release. The toy will also be released with two heads meaning that you'll be able to re-create the standard US and SDCC looks

Griffin, the admin of OzFormers has posted some infromation from the Australian Toy Fair which includes word that MP Tracks will not be MP-25 and that 6 more Masterpiece figures will be released in Japan this year, after Star Saber with those toys being:
- Gold Bumblebee (Goldbug) - July
- Convoy re-issue - Assumed August
- Tracks - Assumed August
- Secret - MP25 expected to be announced shortly - September
- New Sports Car - Oct
- New Sports Car - Nov
Below you will find a quote of the full new report which contains further information on the Australian releases.
Photos later tonight, and the full report.... but some teaser info to get you interested and to send the global fansites into meltdown.
Generations Devastator on display with my Gen1 Devastator - BigW already signed up for June/July.
More JP Masterpiece coming this year - Gold bumblebee July, Convoy reissue, Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can't reveal name before TakaraTomy), and two new "sports cars" for OCT & NOV.
Platinum edition - Myer will have Seeker pack and YOTG pair... while ToysRUs will have Insecticon pack, Perceptor/Blaster, Trypticon, aaaaand.... Dinobots. YES, Gen1 Dinobots multipack which I hope is all five.
JP Stinger still for this month, only at TRU though.
GEN Slingshot & Wildrider don't exist (yet) for Hasbro Generations, but might next year as Combiners are going to be at least two years.
Leader Starscream for wave 4.
Hasbro MP Starscream is the second (MP11) version because fans wanted it.
Hasbro MP Bluestreak will be in July.
Toyworld's cheaper prices were indeed just introductory prices from Hasbro.
Loyal Subjects w3 should be out in the next month.
That's most of it. More later, probably after midnight though.
Go nuts...
Go nuts indeed!

The Japanese Hobby Magazines are carrying the first images of the grey prototype of future Masterpiece Transformers figure Tracks. The toy will be released under the MP-25 number and is expected to come with a human figure. Eventually we expect the toy to be recoloured into Roadrage as well as a black Tracks variant.

As you would have noticed, our regulary posting on the Moon hasn't been that regular in a long-time, and our focus on TheVisionaries.net has also slowed in recent months. The basic reason is work and life getting in the way. We recently bought a second light tent and are hoping to get back to taking more (regular or semi-regular) pictures soon (once work goes back to just 5 days a week).
Anyway the reason for that introduction is that we missed quiet a bit of 3rd Party news this week ... so here's a roundup.
3rd Party Masterpiece Hound
Like buses you wait for one, and two come along at once. Both MakeToys and TFCToys have shown off grey prorotypes of their Not-Masterpiece Hound figure, so you can substitute their Hound in place of the one Takara-Tomy haven't made ... yet
- MakeToys
Name; Gun Dog
Height: 16.5 CM / 6 1/2 inches
Notes: Has two robot modes (pretty much the shoulder postions) for "Classic G1 Look" and "Modern Classic Look"
- TFC Toys
Name: Detective
Height: Unknown
Notes: Less G1 toy accurate
3rd Party Masterpiece Chromdome
MakeToys' entrerance into the Masterpiece Class of Transformers figures doesn't stop with Gun Dog (Hound) as they have also announced a nive looking Masterpiece Chromedome. The character, made popular by Nick Roche and James Roberts in the Transformers More Than Meets The Eye comic certainly looks nice.
- Maketoys
- Name: Cupola
Height: 22 CM / 9 inches
Notes: Comes with his Headmaster figure (Stylor in the West)
