Thanks to Maz of the Maz at TFSquareOne fame over on Twitter, we have some new official stock images of the recently revealed Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-42 Cordon - the white, black and red Diaclone Super Tuning Patrol deco of what will eventually become Sunstreaker in the Transformers toyline - in both Lamborghini and robot modes, and a variety of poses, found on Amazon Japan, via a news blog gallery here.

Those familiar with the MP-39 Sunstreaker mold will not be surprised by the toy's design, but might still want to take a look at the new deco, the shiny chrome gun, and the mean looking new headsculpt too. Check them all out below, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

Something about the colour scheme really reminds me of the car from Back To The Future... :-?

This would have made a great homage to prowl from rid (2001) as well.

First off, he's a cop, and has a gun in his leg. ROBOCOP MUCH?! :lol:

second, he looks quite menacing. He seriously shoulda been a Con.

The close up on the silver gun shaped like the wrist rocket on the G1 version looks like it might slot into the wrist some kind of way. I guess it's not a huge deal, but I'd like that feature. I'm getting it either way.

I suppose at this point I will say I'd like to see something new coming (besides Beast Wars Megatron). I'm spotty on the mold reuses.

I don't even collect MPs cause of their price point; I'm doing well enough to try to have a chug collection. This, however, is fantastic. That menacing face, and that it's a Japanese(?) vehicle with text, I really like this.

Is this parts list from TFSource accurate?

- 1 x MP-42 Cordon Figure
- 2 x Wing Attachments
- 2 x Guns
- 1 x Bio Card
- 1 x Instructions

Not really sure what the "wing attachments" are, they haven't been shown in any photos. Neither has a second gun. Those are things that Sunstreaker didn't come with so it could be a clue as to why the price is so high by comparison.

Meanwhile the AmiAmi parts list seems more accurate:

-Cordon x1
-Rifle (Speed trap gun) x1
-Spare side mirror (runner) x1
-Character card x1
-Instruction paper x1

So I wonder which one is accurate? Seems like AmiAmi's since HLJ has the same list so where did TFS get their info from?

After the initial stock photography shown in the story we covered yesterday here, we now have more official images for the newly revealed Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-42 Cordon - the police deco with retool of MP-39 Sunstreaker, as an homage to the latter's Diaclone predecessor - courtesy of Japanese hobby site Dengeki.

As you can see in the images below, we also have confirmation on some of the accessories, such as two chrome guns, with one being more of a gun/cannon arm attachment, changeable engine part display (in or out), the writing "Metropolitan Police Agency" displayed on the left and right doors in kanji, "CR 03" of the license plate as a Diaclone homage, and a quick comparison shot with other police themed Cybertronian MP-17+ Prowl (anime version). Check it out!

2 "Wing Attachments" = spare side-mirrors.

I have warmed to the head sculpt, in fact now I love it, so not too disappointed that it doesn't come with alternative faces. However, hoping this doesn't set the precedent for the new MP Megs - that needs to come with all the faces.

Well well, looks like we got ourselves a new mystery regarding Cordon's identity as, according to this Tweet from TakaraTomy, his profile says that he used to have a different name in the past.

新キャラクター「コルドン」
謎に包まれたそのプロフィールの一部を公開いたします。
コルドンは元々警察で用いられる「KEEP OUT」の文字でおなじみのテープ備品の事を指すが、その名前に込められた彼の過去とは一体・・・。
モールの予約ページは↓↓
http://takaratomymall.jp/shop/g/g4904810971320/

His function is also given as "Legendary Warrior", and according to another user's attempt at using his Google Translate app on the profile text itself, it says something about Cordon having been someone who was imprisoned for past sins and did community service.

Never happen, but I can hope, right? He'd need a new name though.

You know what, all these MP Sunstreaker repaints would work really well as Scorpinok's Headmaster army! All we need now is a set of 3rd party transforming heads and we're all set!

Are red optics accurate indicators if the character was/is a'con? Dang Thrust has yellow optics! If that tweet is an indication Cordon was someone else before (a reformed "Barricade"? Cordon is synonymous with Barricade) :-?

This one:

Transformers G1 1990 Barricade Gallery

In Japanese G1, he was part of the only Destron/Decepticon Micro Transformer team released (all teams released were Cybetrons/Autobots, even the US Decepticon ones): the Race Car Patrol Team, which we know as the Race Track Patrol:

Transformers G1 1990 Barricade Gallery
From l. to r.: Roller Force, Motorhead, Ground Hog, Barricade

They were associated with Metrotitan.

I wonder if the reference is just Takara's cheeky way of saying he used to be a Diaclone, now he's a Transformer.

Meanwhile, back at Cybertron Central HQ, the boys on the squad are all abustle over the arrival of some much needed back up.

Artfire: You guys heard anything about this new recruit? Commissioner Gordon? I mean, Capt. Cordon!
Clampdown: Oh YEAH! I hear he's REAL old school. Just like me! And I hear he has a SWEET alt mode!

More details on Cordon's identity.

Soundwave's Oblivion took a stab at trying to translate the hard-to-read sample image of Cordon's bio from before, and came up with this (image originally posted by TFW2005 user Sam):

Notice that it does NOT say that he was a former Destron (Decepticon), only that he was convicted as a Cybertron (Autobot).

Posted by Emerje on May 22nd, 2018 @ 6:50am CDT

So he wasn't a Destron and something about his forgotten past made him good at cooking human food. Maybe the "Cordon Bleu" jokes weren't that far off.

I wonder if by chance he's Toaster? He's the only Autobot I can think of with a food-related alt mode.

As red optics no longer an accurate depiction of being a former Destron. It's more of an homage to Diaclone then.

So he was(?) an ex-con but not a 'con. :lol:
