Hobbylog have posted a new image of the upcoming Masterpiece MP-30 Ratchet. The Autobot doctor is due for release in April and is a remold of the soon to be released Masterpiece Ironhide. Additional images are expected to be contained within this months Figure King magazine.
Twitter user Mr. Crying Face has posted a clearer image of the highly anticipated Transformers Unite Warriors Blast Off figure. The image, which is a scan from a Japanese Hobby Magazine, shows Blast Off’s robot mode as well as his alt mode showing, in turn, a better idea of how his transformation will work. The images suggest that Blast-Off is going to be a completely new figure or an extremely head re-tooling at the vers least.
TakaraTomy designer Hisashi Yuki has Tweeted a New Years photo featuring the Beast Wars Metals X-9 Metals Jaguar figure with a message which hints that TakaraTomy will be running commemorative Beast Wars events as well as releasing commemorative toys in 2016. With Masterpiece Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal) already on the way this could be a hint at additional figures as well as new or redecoed Generations figures also being released.
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.

Famitsu report that a Lucky Draw gold chromed Megadrive Megatron will be released by TakaraTomy in partnership with Sega. The figure, which can be seen below, will be limited to just 5 pieces and is reportedly going to be a "made to order" item where in order to enter, you must complete a questionnaire that Sega are running. The figure comes with a "Streets of Rage" cartridge rather than the Sonic game that comes with the standard release.
The good news continues for Masterpiece fans as MP-21 Bumblebee has now been released in Japan and Asian with various listings available on eBay including delivery to the UK for £45. If you are looking to get the figure in time for Christmas then you should think about ordering one very soon.

The latest issue of Figure King Magazine shows some of the upcoming Japanese Transformers releases which include a remoulded Age OF Extinction Optimus Prime and redecoed Generations Arcee and Chromia who are now coloured closer to their Generation One cartoon forms as well as a Windblade figure whose paint apps are closer to Sarah Stone's IDW comics artwork.
There is also a picture of the box for Masterpiece Bumblebee though the image is rather low quality and small.

TagHobby have revealed that thhe MP-23 Takara-Tomy Masterpiece figure will be .... Exhaust! Who, you ask? Exhaust is a recolour of the upcoming MP-20 Wheeljack figure with a new head and is based on the Marlboro diaclone Wheeljack figure but as a Decepticon.
The figure may seem like a strange one but TakaraTomy do like to release recolours of the figures to justify the tooling costs. We are still expecting a Slicer repaint to be released at somepoint, though that may turn out to be a Hasbro figure more than a TakaraTomy one,
Thanks to the twitter account of Hisashi yuki, we have a good look at the prototype of the inner Brainmaster figure for the upcoming Masterpiece Star Saber. This figure is roughly the size of a Diaclone driver, as shown in the images, and whilst its body no longer contains the face of Saber, he does reveal the face by putting the figure to the chest. The mini-figure is also more show accurate in his general appearance. Check out the images below.
