BUT.
I'm more concerned with MP Dirge. Has anyone heard anything? It's supposed to ship in May, but... May is almost over. We should have, at least, seen some in-hand images by now.
Anyways. Happy to see Artfire coming. That Targetmaster looks cool.

Identical to Inferno but with Grapple's shoulder disks.

Only if Takara is willing to homage the American fiction since the G1 Cyclonus toy never saw release as a Targetmaster in Japan.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'm really excited for the figure. First time experiencing the mold. Hopefully, when we get a Masterpiece Cyclonus, Nightstick is included.

Wasn't Cyclonus a Targetmaster in the Headmaster cartoon?

No, Cyclonus, Scourge, Hot Rod, Kup, and Blurr never became targetmasters

Then why did the Henkei toy do the Targetmaster trick?

It was an easter egg, not an actual thing that ever happened
Posted by Sabrblade on May 25th, 2017 @ 10:11pm CDT
Nope. Only three Autobots and three Decepticons were Targetmasters in that show (Blanker, Crosshairs, Sureshot, Triggerhappy, Misfire, and Slugslinger) and only as a result of a freak accident.chuckdawg1999 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Only if Takara is willing to homage the American fiction since the G1 Cyclonus toy never saw release as a Targetmaster in Japan.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I'm really excited for the figure.

I hemed and hawed and wished and washed until all the pre-orders were gone. Glad it worked out. Really excited for this guy. I bundled him to ship with MP-Primal so I'll have to wait until the end of the month for his release, but excited none the less.
It will be a masterful haul!

I've only spent time with Nightstick and it's fine
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on June 19th, 2017 @ 9:51am CDT
maybe not....
Ok. so I got Artfire, opened him and Nightstick up, and hot damn sweet Mary mother of the almighty hell's bells crackalacka. This figure is perfect. Like, he beats MP SG Prime out as favorite masterpiece. this figure is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful and oh man oh man oh man.
there may be many more pictures later, I am not sure, but there will be a few after my thoughts here at least.
His alt mode is gorgeous. The colored parts all phase together perfectly and the red, white, and black work so well together! the truck mode overall is gorgeous and has some really nice details and features despite the more cartoony look. the chrome is gorgeous, he rolls wonderfully, and I love how nightstick can use the ladder as a fireman partner.
Artfire's robot mode is sweet as well. The figure is so well proportioned and the articulation is great. He looks so good! everything feels right and where it needs to be, there is no kibble whatsoever, and he feels solid and heavy. And he has proven so far super fun to pose and play with.
Nightstick is a neat little dude and he is wonderful too. the robot mode is gorgeous and so articulated for a targetmaster, and the weapon mode is sweet! I love how they made this work.
And for both, the transformation is super fun and satisfying. One is fairly quick, another takes a bit more time, but both are an absolute achievement. the ladder magic is real, and I'm glad I got to witness it for myself.
Overall, both are amazing and I love the set. It is a great masterpiece and definitely the ultimate version of this mold. He is wonderful, and you should go get yours now. Do it.

This figure is amazing and is worthy of every image that will now be posted.

If Artfire were a headmaster, there would certainly be room for him

Mine will hold in place fine.
and Nightstick has both legs proper, no 2 right legs

Heck I never heard any complaints of MP Soundwave being so anime simple (his nogin is F. Dery version) except for the prerequisite bellyache about his "big" feet.
Makes you wonder if those complainers ever really purchased the fig in the first place.
