CM's Corp Minerva Prototype Images

That is really neat! I like it.

D'awww. She's so adorable.

adorable! I may just have to get this.

WHEN!? i want this NOW! must have - TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Ok.... How in the hell do I go about getting one of these???

At least cost something around Y 6,000.00 (not including shipping).

I might just get one.

Btw,this is a licensed figure so why is this at the 3rd party section?

@ Cyberbishop

Try inquiring at amiami

OH! The human girl... okay... nvm then.

1. she's kinda hot, ya know for an anime character.
2. is she a robot or a human, cuz if she is a robot then i think thats creepy
(thinks back to when sari turned out to be robot[shizers])
3.could someone give me a short difinition of the masterforce cuz from what i know
they're just humans who transform into blocks that attach to the transformers and give them life again. which is even creepier.

Headmasters. What's creepy about that?

Unlike the USA version, the original Headmasters with the exception of Spike were humanoid/reptile(green skinned aliens from Nebulon/Nebulos)

The Japanese version, the Headmasters were like midget Cybertronians.

Minerva(Headmaster Jr) were in a sense similar to the USA story being humans "binary bonded"(?)/having "henshin" bracelets to a mechanical body( in this case, a lifeless trantector) while in the former, the Cybertronians just downloaded their personalities in their auxillary memory bank located conveniently in the built in the tech spec meter.

before i begin i just want to let u know i am thankful for your explanation even if i don't seem like it.(i am not very good with the japanese ideals).

yes i know about the USA story of the headmasters. i was wondering about the "Masterforce".
second from what i could understand from your explanation(wtc is binary bonding and a trantector?!) it sounds like the masterforcers were people with mechanical suits that gave them the ability to connect to the cybertronians and basically use their bodies(creeeeepppyy!). if this isn't any where near the correct answer then just ignore me, i am probably hopelessly lost. XD

Meh... im not into masterforce. Besides, its...

you know looking at it Samus Aran is a bit like a masterforcer, ya know with the suit that
just comes out of no where and apears on her, and the fact she can take the form of a sphere like the masterforcers can turn into blocks.

now if only the masterforcers where any where near as awesome as Samus is then i might like them more.

the figure looks cool
just have to see what the price point will be

fenrir72 wrote:Btw,this is a licensed figure so why is this at the 3rd party section?

Mistake on my part, it should be in the regular Transformers Toy Forum. I'll see if someone can move it.

triKlops wrote:the figure looks cool

This, if at a reasonable price, I'll pick it up.
Compared to most anime figures/Statues this is the least creepy thing I've seen come out of Japan.

She did NOT show that much skin! Confounded fanservice!

Maybe a visual example would help.

Note: Autobots and Decepticons were called "Cybertrons" and "Destrons" in Japan.

It's all up to your preference but..........what's creepy about the headmaster system anyway?

Now, as for the price range, I give it an estimate convert from Yen to US$ more or less Y 6,000 to US$ 78.00 not including shipping. This might be lower or higher mind you based on the demand.

I'm sure she'll be wearing the body suit under it like always. The armor always showed that much "skin" she's just not as short as she used to be.

Me? I'm only interested in Ginrai or as I'll call him, Hi-Q. If I have to get them together, so be it.

I love the character of Ginrai to death. He is a bajillion times cooler than "Hi-Q the Science Guy".

damn, that is sexy

Thank u so much for clearing that up.
but i still have a jumbled mess of emotions from that video.
1.who the hell gave megaman and his sidekicks drivers ids without a test!
2.Ginerva is a LOT less hot in that video.
3.sorry i thought these guys were the Masterforcers not a form of headmasters.
4.i can see how they are able to transform now. like i said it is a bit like Samus and her suit.
5. they still aren't anywhere as AWESOME as Samus... or kirby(yes i said Kirby) or meta knight or link or me.
and in case you don't know who kirby is...
(NOTE: THIS IS A PARODY OF KIRBY AND SECOND: THIS DOES HAVE SWEARING!!)

You don't need a license to drive a Transtector.

She's only 15. This toy just made her taller.

Dunno where you got that term from.

You've now seen the Headmaster Juniors. Wait till you see Godmasters!

They're the Japanese equivalent of Powermasters, except much more powerful and, like the Headmaster Juniors, are humans.

Minerva... who?

Haven't heard of this character before. But being a Mospeada fan, her design bears a striking manga-style resemblance to Rook Bartley/Houquet.

I might have to get this depending on the finished colors.

This is Minerva. Hers was the first female Transformers toy ever produced.

Thanks, that was an interesting read. I hadn't heard about the Masterforce continuity before... will need to track down some of the cartoon episodes if I can.

It's coming to DVD eventually by Shout! Factory. It's part of the Japanese Generation 1 cartoon continuity.

Complete with oral sex face.

Looks cute though and is a nice throwback. I was too young to fully enjoy masterforce but maybe it's my chance.

starwarrior1227 wrote:As long as they aren't actually gods i will look into those.

They aren't, "god" is just a word that's like, commonly used with Japanese robots, cause like, you have God Ginrai,God Neptune, God Magnus and God Fire Convoy, none of them are gods, just pretty powerful dudes. It's also used outside of the realm of TFers (Which include, but are not limited to) God Sigma, God Max, God Silverion and God Gundam.

Precious, no doubt cute. I always liked Minerva, she had a crush on the bad boy Fangry.....Anyways, This looks extremely show accurate and appears to be a quality piece, BUT, do to lack of room, this will be categorized as Transformers "paraphernalia" as it does not transform and therefor passed on. Cute though.

GetRightRobot wrote:Precious, no doubt cute. I always liked Minerva, she had a crush on the bad boy Fangry.....

No she didn't. She showed care for Cancer, not Wilder.

Also, Fangry isn't the same character as Wilder.

Seconded, compared to Ginrai, Hi-Q's really kind of a bore.

CM's Corp has posted additional images of their upcoming Masterforce Minerva figure. This series of images reveal the backpack portion of her powersuit is removable and will be able to transform into her Transtector's face. We have mirrored the images below.

Looks a little odd without the rest of the head (helmet, antennae, etc.).

Sabrblade wrote:Looks a little odd without the rest of the head (helmet, antennae, etc.).

She'll probably come with other bits to make the full head.

Hmm... kinda intrigued here. I've always wanted TF human figures.

anyone know how tall these are?

I think they're about 6/7 inches. I'm shocked that she retains the, er, 'face transformation'. To what end, though? Are we expected to jam her headfirst into Fortress Maximus?

It's nice, but I'd be happier with a cheaper figure that didn't have an upside-down robot face on the back.

This does look pretty cool, the face is a nice little bonus. I just do not see the selling point if she is... useless.

Don't see why she would, it's not like she's G1 compatible or anything. Though that would be cool, not that alot of people own or can own a G1 Minerva, but still.
