Japanese store Yamashiroya in Ueno has a new display showing off the next release for the Masterpiece Transformers line, MP-12 Lambor aka Masterpiece Lambor.

As well as showing Sideswipe in both his modes the display has a healthy amount of artwork, concept drawings and other material to showcase the new Masterpiece. Particularly awesome are the concept sketches showing how Red Alert and Sideswipe's head has subtle differences, and the scale chart from the original cartoon which designer Hasui Yuki is using to determine the appropriate scale of Sideswipe in relation to MP-10 Convoy Version 2.0

Finally, after all this time, we have a new gallery on Transformers At The Moon!!!  Yes you thought we were gone, you thought there was no reason to visit. boy you were wrong, we were just busy with moving - the result of which you'll seen soon.  Anyway all say a big WELCOME to our newest, and latest Lucky Draw Transformers toy gallery (not out latest Lucky Draw mind - hey, hey).

Transformers Darkside Moon (Dark of the Moon) Mech Tech Voyager Megatron

This is our 4099th gallery and acts as a Part 1 of this extremely hard to get hold of Lucky Draw toy.

The figure is limited ot 10 in the world, and this is, as far as we know and can tell, the first ever gallery of the final released figure.

Seibertron member formula93 follows up his previous Toys"R"Us Masterpiece Thundercracker retail sighting with some nice in-hand images of the figure. As you can see Thundercracker features some interesting homages which include G1 Reflector on each bicep with the words "Say Cheese", a silhouette of of himself holding G1 Soundwave on his shoulder with the word "SONICBOOM" on his tail fins, and a reference to Hasbro designer Joe "Bid Daddy" Kyde just under the cockpit canopy.

Here are a few pics of TC, albeit on my crappy phone camera. You'll notice in the pic with the green circle, there was a stress mark on that tab straight out of the package. It connects the arm to the wing in plane mode. Might want to be careful. I figured everybody knows the scale of this mold, so there aren't any of those pics. Also, if you can't make it out, he has what amounts to an arm tatto on each bicep that has a picture of G1 Reflector, and the words "Say Cheese." Pretty neat touch. The sidewinder missiles are included, but I don't think there's anywhere to store them in jet mode, as his null ray blasters are now permanently mounted to his arm. The two face gimmick is absent, but the instructions still refer to it, as they're the same for the old MP Seeker figs. They also don't refer to the new heels, which are a FANTASTIC addition. I finally have a seeker that can stand on his own!

Courtesy of the Hobbybase and Planet Iacon facebook pages we have images of the Transformers Fall of Cybertron Combaticon toys in their vehicle and combined Bruticus modes.
