Masterpiece Super Ginrai Revealed! The Final Masterpiece? 

I think it’s hilarious that super ginrai and jet fire were both cheaper than MP44.

So, Ginrai actually says “double on“ when he’s combining with the trailer.

Powermaster Prime was my Optimus when I was a kid and one of my favorite Transformers. I need this!

What I want to know is why does Super Ginrai have red hands? The American G1 PowerMaster Prime had red hands only because Hasbro molded the arms in one piece. In Takara, the hands were blue and separate molds. So why in Alpha Trion’s Beard are the hands red on the MPG?

From what I've heard. The MP-60 Ginrai comes with a sticker set for MPG-09 Super Ginrai. The sticker is toy-accurate vs the cartoon-accurate stickers that would come with MPG-09 Super Ginrai

If this is what MP ends with, this is rather poetic. It began with an Optimus and it ends with an Optimus (yes I know Ginrai is his own guy, but come on, that’s PMOP).

If I had money, I'd try to get the MPG version. Because...I may not get another place to say this, so here goes; and this is a hill I'll die on alone if I have to: I like the idea of Planet Master, the Transtectors, and Brainmasters over the idea of Planet Nebulos. In my eyes, it fits far more with the tone and aesthetic of Transformers, and makes more sense lore-wise (a smaller Transformer uses less energy, and the vehicle becoming a robot body could easily be seen as an emergency measure instead of their main form). The Godmasters (and the Headmaster Juniors) are similar to my problem with Planet Nebulos and the Nebulans (and Daniel), but keeping the Transtector idea was a smart choice.

The guy that initially leaked this said that god bomber was gonna be MPG-10

I would say it isnt the final masterpiece ever as it will continue in the MPG line. but as the non getai (spelling?) line, yes mp-60 will be the last one. i am glad the MPG includes the cab and is a different deco.

MP-60 Ginrai (Single Release) is the last MP release. Super Ginrai is MPG-09 under the new banner.

FYI, Ginrai was originally supposed to be a Freightliner FLL8642T Low cabover tractor truck. I would have preferred realistic alt mode/toon bot mode.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the do a MPG Chromedome.

Hopefully we'll be getting a godbomber next as well

"He's about to unleash chokon!" "Chokon?" "CHOKON DEEZ NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I’m interested in super ginrai, but I’d like to see the combination with god bomber before I make a decision. The base ginrai looks freaking awesome, I’m not 100% sold on the super mode

I've got an interesting intrusive idea/question that I don't know where else to share except on a TF video about something Masterforce-related: Why didn't Hasbro/Takara bother to collaborate with Toei and some dubbing studio and produce a localization of Masterforce series during the nineties when super sentai stuff and anime were experiencing a boom of popularity in the West? Granted, it might not have worked out anywhere near as well as I assume it might have, but I mean, they probably (?) had the funds and must still have had the molds... That might have revitalized the brand and given Saban some competition in terms of bringing tokusatsu-adjacent shows overseas. There are probably multiple reasons as to why this would never have happened ever (at least one of which being that Toei's infamously hard to work with), but it's still an interesting idea, I think.

I don't care for combine mode, i will buy MP-60, because i love Ginrai's base robot mode. Answer for 1:05

4:05 Ginrai got that stendo

Chou Ginrai's head is likely in the blue column on the trailer

Powermaster Optimus Prime / Ginrai / Super Ginrai to me is the best version outside his original G1 form. I was excited to Optimus Prime return back in 1988 as we know what happened to him in the 1986 film. And it's great to see him again in Masterpiece so I'm definitely getting this.

God Ginrai is perhaps my favorite of all time … I know I’m getting MPG-09, the only question is if I get MP-60 as well 😅

The dollar store authentics Megatron has that, and I’ve just learned to not use both joints at the same time.

Am I the only one who would have wanted the Matrix of Leadership for Ginrai? I know he doesn't have it, but considering it was originally an Optims Prime toy it would have been appropriate

The red pieces may be Swappable Eye, so you can have Red eyes for any of the head sculpts.

I think the MPG is just to stick with the newer smaller scale. Which has me concerned that we will never see a Masterpiece Jazz or Cliffjumper.

Connor released the reflector😊

It looks like the head folds out from the trailer and tabs into the top of the cab. If you look the head is on a thicker blue panel

Hopefully these do well enough so we get the other Godmasters.

No, it's not the final Masterpiece. Just under that name. they are moving the Masterpiece line under a new name. So they can focus on more. Like they did with raiden. maybe make some new combiners. Maybe even do something like Overlord maybe.

It looks like there's some normal shoulder motion. Looking at the left shoulder in that close-up shot, the angle between the blue piece and the shoulder is obviously greater than 90 degrees. So it looks like he's doing the Missing Link thing, where there are two outward hinges with a swivel in between. Honestly, I think the MPG rebrand makes about as much sense as Bandai releasing CSM toys of Rider gear that never got DX releases. So there's at least precedence for it in the Japanese toy market, even if it feels weird.

Anyone else think Transformers MPG could be a series where they are really focused on their fuel consumption?

Who would buy Ginrai, when there's Super Ginrai ? Make Ginrai's eyes blue (cartoon accurate) , and make Ginrai+trailer's eyes red (toy accurate -- and you have your assured purchases .

Some sources that state that it’s not the true end of MP, the they’re just shifting all of their current stuff into G to have a central line. Jazz dk2 guard and predaking are some of the first that will come in this new brand

So wait...MP-60 is just Optimus Prime, and no trailer to form Powermaster Optimus Prime, but MPG-09 is this new scale MP Powermaster Optimus Prime?

It seems to me that this rebranding to MPG is just a way to eliminate the ‘Transformers’ logo & identity from the figure’s packaging- not a plan to change the scale to smaller for all releases like many openly fear. Am I really the only one that noticed that all MPG releases thus far have not a single ‘Transformers’ logo or written form in the main titles printed on the packaging? All that is left is a small Autobot insignia near the figure’s name/title. It feels like copyright dodging in regards to the ‘Transformers’ identity, created by Hasbro not Takara who created the toys/figures. Also, looking at the price tag for Ginrai and Super Ginrai, they are prices fitting for full Masterpiece scale figures sold recently, such as MP-44S.

The G doesn't also mean the three titles (Gattai, Giant, Great), it also means "Gimmick". We are getting Transformers that have these tricky gimmicks from the old G1 toys, like the Headmasters, Brainmasters, etc.

This looks pretty good but man I love my Fans Hobby Power Baser

Now that the MP line is coming to an end will you be doing a tier list video of all 60 MP figures?

Here is my observation. Mp 60 may be the size of earthrise Optimus or tf animated op. I am only conjecturing because of the simple looking transformation and the hands look similar to the earthrise. Perhaps I’m wrong….

I seriously wouldn't be shocked if we got MPG Optimus Supreme in the future.

I'm going to buy both. Takara, please take my first born.

The Red Eyes and the USA UK EU release of the toy are accurate to The Marvel G1 comic too. The Japan release with the trailer comes with two heads for the super mode robot red and blue eyes.

MP God Ginrai when?

I ended up getting the Takara Ginrai with the God Bomber armor, and even got the Takara Wheelie just for Gō Shūta back in Titans(?). I'm probably going to be all over this, especially if there's a Bomber armor.

The only thing i have to complain about at this time is the super ginrai arms in trailer mode.... Why... do they stick out that far?!

I’m an Optimus Prime collector, so I’m gonna buy both MP-60 & MPG-09. I’m very excited.

I have to wonder if this means if Galvatron is off the table for future Masterpiece releases/whatever MPG is supposed to be

I'd love to get the MPG release of this, as I loved the G1 PMOP as a kid. I just don't know if I want to drop $300+ for it. I didn't buy Optimus 3.0 ($400) but I do own MP Skyfire ($250). Decisions, decisions.

Skipped MP-44 because I'm happy with MP-10. Going to get Super Ginrai because this is Technically the most Powerful Form of G1 Optimus Prime in my Head at least

there's gonna be an anime recolor fr like mp44

Meantime, still waiting for a Galvatron after all this time...

So is the MP Ginrai Cab only Bigger?

I wonder if they will do an MPG grand Galvatron if they hadn’t done one already. I would also be really interested in MPG sky Gary or Grandis. Preferably Grandis.

will they release God armor? or God Bomber?? i must know!

Just preordered 3 of each from Kapow toys UK

With the pricing combined of two different products it's more the $400.00.

Looks good. Definitely gonna try to get it

Realizing looking at this that I really like when Optimus has blue forearms

I'd love to get this MP. I don't think they can screw this one up with fiddly panels, fake parts, and a 45-minute transformation that makes you get frustrated and not want to transform it for another 6 months. But I would likely rather get the WFC/SS86/Generations Select scale version for cost reasons

Its actually cheaper than i was expecting like the extra accessories.

So much want for super ginrai

I’m really hoping they do a god bomber to go with the super ginrai. Them not ever doing a victory leo with the star saber has scared me

I hope we geet animated characters in the new line

Dang, and we never even got a Soundwave 2.0

So I cant expect a MP Minerva?

I hope mpg actually means something instead of being masterpiece being renamed, but who knows

And what about MP Rhinox?

Do you think there will be a gift set if they make god bomber

Hope this means Road Caesar should be greenlit now. All MPG all the way after this!

Technically accurate to animation isn't always a good thing.

next MPG would be another remake G1 optimus then lol

Masterpiece Hydra and Buster?

Is this Super Ginrai's head part of the trailer?

So the block can move now .

Will je weten wat ik denk dat ze een God brommer gaan doen

My poor bank account.... 3 of the super to have all modes displayed...

Just preordered mine. No idea where he's going to go, run out of space, but don't care :) He can sit next to my reissue of the original.

Chokon powah!!!

looks like super ginrai is gonna have hinged/hot-rod shoulders. safe to say, you can rest easy skipping that one.

Say goodbye to official actual mp scale transformers. There will only be 3rd party now

Why doesn’t Japan show off the masterpiece figures doing Rider kicks?

To me the Ginrai looks flimsy and small, the trailer also looks weirdly proportioned with the arms far too prominent. I'll need to see more to consider this with the inevitable price tag....

Do you think with his short little arms he can wipe his robot butt in supermode?

I think he actually looks bad. He looks like a MP version of the original toy, and not of the tv show. He still has the whole truck front on his back.

I don't think you actually NEED Ginrai to connect to the truck to transform it. It's just there to mimic the show. If I'm wrong then the figure is even worse than I thought.

Ultra Magnus looks Cooler with Red Eyes than Optimus Prime/Ginrai

You know what I would like to see out of masterpiece? Masterpiece prime 2013.

it looks wrong for the big one. it feels like it should be more bulky in the super mode

KFC have a verson of God Ginrai coming too !! But Any body remember Fans Hobby PowerBaser ? No body can be that one in my mind & YES I own powerbaser money well spent 5 years ago

I don't think this works. You can get away with doing a G1 Optimus Prime without the trailer because the trailer doesn't actually do anything. It's a nice extra to have for vehicle mode but once you get into robot mode it's just kind of this extra thing you put off to the side. With Powermaster Optimus Prime though you're losing everything that makes him Powermaster Optimus Prime when you don't have the tailer. Just the cab by itself might as well just be a weirdly styalized G1 Optimus. It's not Powermaster Optimus Prime. And since when has Masterpiece ever done toy accurate versions before? Their whole brand has been screen accuracy not toy accuracy. Maybe I'm wrong cause I haven't followed Masterpiece in a long time, they're way too expensive now days. But this just makes things even worse I think. I'm almost certain the only people who are going to buy the Genrai on it's own are also going to get Super Genrai just so they have a fully conplete toy accurate set. I can't imagine anyone wanting an incomplete Powermaster Optimus Prime. To me the cab by itself is just G1 Optimus Prime and if I only wanted that I would actually get a G1 Optimus Prime not the Powermaster version. If I'm going to get a Powermaster Optimus Prime that means I want him to have the trailer.

You need the know the story. This is not optimus prime. This a body for Optimus prime but lost . A human found it and use it . So it can only unlock and works only with a human body . But never use with the spark of Optimus prime with a human .

They ended MP and we didn’t get a proper beast wars cast they didn’t finish the maximals or predacons so hopefully MPG will pick up on the MP beast wars

I dont really see the point of the masterpieces being so faithful to ghe orginal to the poiny the look like the same hot mess. You dobt have the same limitations so you could have a decent looking cleaner trailer but instead its more concerned with nostalgia. Mastetpiece has really focused on animation accuracy over good design.

super ginrai skipped arm day

Damn, what’s wrong with the wheels on this figure? 🤮 great idea great nostalgia, but the wheels. 🤷‍♂️

That trailer looks horrible. Making an MP figure worse to look like the toy is a choice.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath on a Godbomber outta Takara. They didn't do a Victory Leo to go with Starsaber. (Side note: funny how Super Ginrai isn't as expensive as MP44...) It is kinda ironic: if you look over the winners of that 2013 Masterpiece Fan's Choice Poll, Takara's already made four (well, three with one on the way) of the entrants: MP24 Starsaber (who won), MP32 BW Convoy (Optimus Primal), MP48 Lioconvoy (nice Kitty Mew Mew), and the upcoming MP60 Ginrai/MPG9 Super Ginrai. Which leaves Fortress Maximus, Dai Atlas, Big Convoy ("It's Morphin Time! MASTODON!!"), Super Fire Convoy (RiD01 Optimus Prime), Micron Convoy (Armada Optimus), Grand Convoy (Energon Optimus), and Galaxy Convoy (Cybertron Optimus) yet to be done...and apart from Dai Atlas & Big Convoy, errybody kinda would make sense for MPG.

I cant be the only person who thinks its looks bad in comparison to the 3rd party offerings especially fanshobbys version. As for the rename to MPG i feel like thats just marketing and itll just be the same MP line

I don't like it

I don’t understand why they are ending masterpiece. Like there are so many characters left to do.
