Thanks to Sponsor TFSouce we bring to you big news on this late Monday night regarding a figure that we all knew was coming. That's right folks, Inferno's mold mate has finally been announced: MP-35 Grapple!

Grapple is a faithful rendition of the character from the original G1 cartoon and is shown to come with many accessories, among which are several different optional crane ends, some weapons, an extra grill, and a few other things thrown in there. He is currently up for Pre-order at $139.99 American dollars. Check him out at the link above, and also check out the image below showing off this latest Masterpiece addition!

And you can still hide his crane! Hell yes!

Clearly #Braingate lives on

Amazing!


The crane appendages and the black head are all from Auto Berserk.

The blueprints & the model of the Solar Power Tower, from The Master Builders.

MP-36 Hauler pls n thank u

I still say it's some kind of not-good witchcraft they've employed to do this.

Don't you know that "science" is actually the brainchild of "demons"? Just ask the Onimusha writers.

Yes!!! Hopefully the options and accessories are a direct hint that Hoist (and Trailbreaker) is coming!!!

I second this!

Ah, it's beautiful!

So you can change the head colors? Nice..

I already own the Maketoys Hellfire but I may just get this version of Grapple! Those additional tool ends (though I'll never use em) are pretty cool!

Considering Inferno, pretty much a given. Looking forward to him, natch.

Now Takara I have a question for you what next?

Whoa, that side by side with Inferno makes Grapple look loads better too. Weird. I kinda want this over Wrestle for sure now!

Grapple's awesome, much nicer than Inferno IMO. Although he was one of my favourite characters in the G1 show, so perhaps I'm a little biased.

They look equally good to me. But I'm much more excited for Grapple because of his personality on the show.

The Master Builders was awesome, looking forward to seeing him with the UW04 Constructicons.

Can I get some of that not-good witchcraft to get rid of the box around their heads ala Classics/Reveal The Shield versions?

Kudos to Grapple. Amazing how much better his legs look with just a little more detailing instead of the plain panels on Inferno's lower legs and feet.

Though it occurred to me while looking at the comparison pictures that Inferno might look a little plain because of the saturation levels since red is inherently challenging to photograph.

Both figures look fantastic together. Can't wait!

Bring on Hoist and Trailbreaker and Decepticon Triplechangers Astrotrain and Blitzwing please!!! I would love to see the crane/ladder magic applied to the Triplechangers so that they can finally have two decent alt modes without one sacrificing the other. Galvatron, Scourge, Cyclonus, Blurr, Kup and Arcee would be fantastic also.

Fellow Seibertronians, following on from the surprise reveal last night, we now bring you clearer stock images of MP-35 Grapple. Seen below are shots of Grapple utilizing several of his accessories, as well as some comparisons to his mold mate Inferno. The accessories hail from a few different episodes specifically, the crane appendages and the black head are from 'Auto Berserk':



Whereas the blueprints and the model of the Solar Power Tower are from 'The Master Builders':



MP-35 Grapple also comes with additional faces, as well as additional bumpers, much like Inferno, and a miniature model of the Solar Power Tower. So check out the images, and let us know what you think of him in the comments below.

Now we just need Artfire and Hauler!
