Takara Tomy's unofficial social media PR Hisashi Yuki has taken to Twitter again to show off the upcoming Legends figures LG08 Tailgate and Swerve and LG09 Brainstorm, along with Targetmasters and Headmaster - and of course, MP-24 Star Saber (more on the upcoming Masterpiece figure over here).
Thrown into the mix is also a concept doodle by Yuki of Ginrai - speculation time, or just some social media fodder from the vaults? Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Those doodle are most probably for the original Ginrai/PM Optimus Prime.

But if not, they could instead have been something Yuki-san was drawing for the Fans Choice poll had Super Jinrai won instead of Star Saber.

More or less. But if this would have been another MP Ginrai, having a windshield for a back would be a slap to modern engineering techniques ( that or do the henkei convoy transform sequence) let alone be a Masterpiece.
Edt:
What's weird though is that for the first time, the original PM Optimus USA release had longer stacks while the die-cast cab Ginrai had shorter ones, why that didn't carry over to Yuki's doodle is kind of surprising. Another thing, if you still own the original Hasbro catalogue for the Powermaster/Pretenders, PM Optimus Prime was waaaaaaay different from the final product. That proto hand more angled feet and a proportional head.

I have no problem with the grills, that's were the Godmaster/engine attaches. It's the windshield on his back at an angle (gives Ginrai a stooping appearance)......me no like.

Why is this Ginrai and not Convoy?

Plus, the Powermaster concept in Japan was reworked into the Godmaster concept, which would have made it difficult for the toy to represent Convoy anyway, since it put more focus on the human rather than the Transtector.
Posted by Sabrblade on January 3rd, 2015 @ 11:00am CST
When the Powermaster Optimus Prime toy was released in Japan, it was as a new character named Ginrai (with a soft G, like "Jin-rye") since, in the Japanese cartoon continuity, Optimus/Convoy was already dead once again, so they decided to make it into a new character instead of bringing him back to life for a third time.william-james88 wrote:Why is this Ginrai and not Convoy?

The short story is that in the Japanese timeline, Convoy gets killed off (again) in The Headmasters. The difference is, he wouldn't be properly revived until after Zone in Return of Convoy, as Star Convoy.
Ginrai's body was meant for Convoy, but for unknown reasons, it was turned into a new character named Ginrai. The fact it was a lifeless Transtector (at first) controlled by a human (the Engine) akin to a Japanese Headmaster probably had something to do with it.

Takara's Flanker is a drastic departure from the U.S. release. I like how the gun mode mimics Swerve's "my first blaster" from MTMTE. Are those Flanker's original colors or is that a nod to something else?

And to illustrate here are the G1 Micros:
Left: Blast Master (aka "Payload")
Right: Phaser
They each form one half of a Space Shuttle: Phaser is the front, Blast Master is the back.

What I really was asking is how do we know that these drawing are of Ginrai and not Convoy?
Also, my instinct, was that this was detailing the takara release of Combiner Wars Optimus. This is entirely due to that shot of the truck's front with the different windows, drawn near the back of the cab. They look a lot like the chest of the Torso created using Combiner Wars Optimus. That would also explain the fact that he was several set of windows for transformation.

PMOP is my favorite Transformers toy ever. I would love a Classics version with a working Hi-Q/Ginrai. I'd be pretty likely to buy at least two from Hasbro and Takara each. Brainstorm is looking pretty great. The minis look nice too but oddly colored. I love that Swerve's partner, in weapon mode, resembles his absurd gun from the comics

i think if they did (and its a big IF) that they would just make a new base OP. i think itd be to much work to engineer a PM trailer around the MP10 (and retooling of MP10 to boot), which was actually the case of MP22.william-james88 wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:i think a masterpiece Ginrai would be spectacular! here is to hoping someday

True and the original inrai didnt use the original optimus cab either. It would be a different optimus cab in this case (but it is a HUGE IF indeed).

that would be cool but i think i would want to see something close to the original toy or show much like other masterpieces or maybe something as cool in detail as this: http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-new ... 483624.jpg

Say, how'd we get talking about Masterpieces in the Legends thread, anyway?

Maybe including those sketched wasn't such a good idea after all...
Right, I got a dilemma: Swerve. The US version has Flanker, the Japanese has Phaser. As for Tailgate, the US version has flames (like the Prime version), while the Japanese version is all bare like the G1 original. I like extra deco (US Tailgate), and I like space craft (Japanese Phaser). Which to choose?

Maybe i am missing something but to get the most out of deco, how about getting takara awerve and us tailgate? I myself will just get rakara swerve so that phaser can go with payload.

Thing is, you can't get Takara Swerve or Takara Taigate separately since they come in a 2-pack.william-james88 wrote:JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Say, how'd we get talking about Masterpieces in the Legends thread, anyway?

He could though if you folded his legs up behind the cab.

Buy all of them and support the brand. It's better to be in a cardboard box then not buy toys, we may never get them again!

I can't tell you that your opinion is wrong but... wait. Yes, I can. Your opinion is wrong.
They're certainly not cheap though. I dunno, there's very few club figures I'm not pleased with. The pricing is hardly any more or less absurd than third parties either. I buy those too. Do you buy those? Not picking a fight, I'm making conversation.

Plus we'd need the obligatory Nucleon Quest and Fire Guts repaints.
Haven't you heard? Ginrai totally already exists, brah! Botcon 2014 fo life!
He's a lot nicer in hand. The mock ups make him look kind of cruddy.

Forgot about his gallery to better show him off.

I don't acknowledge club exclusives. They're over-priced and over-hyped.
