Fellow Seibertronian blacklai have updated their blog, and shared some images with us here, with a pictorial review of the upcoming Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-33 Inferno! The colours on the figure, however, seem a little off, so this may not be the final product after all - nonetheless, check out below some in-hand shots of the Autobot firetruck, and head here for more!

Ah. I just noticed this on Megatron but I see it's true here too.
The fists/hands are being rounded off, just like they were in the cartoon instead of the squared off style they have been for forever. I actually properly hate that. When did that start?

Looking back it seems to have started with Ironhide.
BTW, BlackLai posted on his blog that these came from Hasbro Taiwan and are unfinished samples rather than final products.

Uh, please don't speak for the fandom. It never works out well. It's what SOME fans want. However, as a collector of Maasterpiece since MP-o1, it's NOT what I want. This over simplification that's been occurring of late is NOT what I want from a line called MASTERPIECE.

Hmm. So it started around when the designer position switched from Hasui to Kobayashi (albeit, after the Tracks mold).Emerje wrote:Big Grim wrote:Ah. I just noticed this on Megatron but I see it's true here too.

Over simple as it is part of the over simple cartoon direction they're now taking. This is a reasonably new thing they are doing. Simple as that. They are accurate to the cartoon only. I'd have rather they kept to the more squared off actual ROBOT looking hands.

I am aware of that. Does not change anything. The over simplifying of Masterpiece is not what I want from this line I've been collecting from the beginning. I want them to continue to have the squared off machine-like hands of the past. I'd like them to continue to be dripping with detail. Not blank smoothed off legs like Inferno.
Just my opinion. I'd prefer the Masterpiece line to be what it has been for the longest of time. And that ain't a direct copy of the cartoon.

No. It's definately a design choice.
See, I love the second image of Scream. Just that little bit more robotic. I just looks better to me.

I haven't been part of the MP Inferno conversation and haven't really given him a proper look. He seems to be at design odds with himself. You've got this nice detailed cab as a chest and then smooth blobs of arms and legs just pinned on.
From the pics the transformation looks like just laying him down and making the back of the truck with those cartoon arms and legs. On one side that disappoints me because I want complex and on the other side that's how the transformations looked in the cartoon.
The ladder fold is clever but Inferno just seems very awkward.

Some more in-package images come from site sponsor RobotKingdom, via Seibertronian Cyberpath, this time of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-33 Inferno - front and rear of the box, with art and the showcase of accessories and features, plus some cartoon scene recreations and the diecast mini Optimus Prime. We also have confirmation of the alt-mode: he transforms into a Fuso T951. Check it out below!

Kind of funny how that one-time brief bondage scene is one of the features.
Surprised that Takara didn't go with this instead, considering that they went with the crane-appendages for Grapple:

It's a three weekend thing (they did shoot an e-mail to news yesterday) but I'll just see what they do this weekend.
Though seeing what they have in stock, there's nothing I really REALLY want unless it's a damn good mark down.

Finally found a good comparison picture of the 3 MP style Inferno molds available currently on the market. Yes, I know one is grapple, it still works.
From left to right: Maketoys, Takara, and MMC.
If you like the recent dedication to being extremely cartoon accurate, Takara us the way to go. I'm not a fan, so I'll be keeping MMC Backdraft. If I ever see Takara on a good deal though, I'll still pick it up. That ladder magic is impressive.

Man, I can't wait to get this guy. While I love certain characters, I have an affinity for any of the figures I had when I was a kid.
Soundwave and Buzzsaw *my firsts*, Ultra Magnus, Rodimus Prime, Grimlock, Inferno, Tracks and Shockwave would be must-buys for me, just because they were in my collection back in the day before I could buy whatever I wanted for myself.
Then there were the guys I really wanted but just couldn't get like Optimus Prime, Prowl and Megatron.

Fellow Seibertronian Cyberpath has sent our way a video review of Takara's Masterpiece MP-33 Inferno. It is from site sponsor The Chosen Prime. They give a very detailed rundown of all the features that come with this toy and an extensive comparison to the other MP-styled Inferno toys out there. Finally they provide a great group shot to show how well this toy scales and looks compared with the rest of the line. If you have received yours already please let us know how you find it!

finally received mine and yep, think it's my fave mp so far. My previous top was magnus, but his but flap and lack of transforming cab are 2 negatives whereas so far the only thing i have a problem with is that his faces fly out of the packaging extremely easily. Also have a paint defect but not major. The fact I can opt out of chrome made me very happy. I wish that whoever designed this does a decepticon in the near future as the transformation is awesome and there aren't any things like ironhide's hips where you say to yourself "this could've been done better".
