Along with all the Wonderfest news, including the Transformers: The Last Knight line being announced and revealed by Takara Tomy - as reported here - we also have via Snakas blog a piece of news that may otherwise have gone unnoticed: is it possible the next Masterpiece figure, after Optimus Primal and Cheetor, will be Dinobot? (Very probably yes indeed.) Check out the image below, and discuss away in the Energon Pub!

I think I had a mini-heart attack when I saw this. Can't wait to see the actual figure.

For whomever it may concern, don't be fooled by those silhouettes. They aren't representative of the final product, for they are just Mainframe stock CG models that have been blackened out (and mirrored, in the beast mode's case):

So he can swing both ways! An introduction to bad guys while not being strictly speaking a bad guy himself!

I share similar sentiment.

Origin of the silhouettes be damned; with the success :TAKARATOMY:

have had with Masterpiece figures recently and the awe-inspiring transformations that have taken third parties to task, I can't imagine this being anything than a complete winner. I don't know how they'll do it, but I have faith that they wouldn't be doing it otherwise.

I'd like to see him have a similar faction-symbol-swapping gimmick to the Universe toy.

The Universe toy that this Masterpiece should easily 1-up by a billion miles.

So a friend of mine today brought up this design for BW Grimlock because it's awesome, and jokingly said 'Voyager BW Grimlock when'. I then went on to say that given the MP BW Dinobot should be around Voyager size that's actually quite likely given Takara does all these toy-exclusive redecoes all the time (even of american-only ones like G2 Sideswipe and Bumblebee) but then I realised something.

When looking for things to redeco Dinobot into, Takara wouldn't have to look far. Because between Hasbro and Takara, they abused the hell out of the original Dinobot mold.

Leaving out decoes created with the express intent of replicating the show's colours as best as possible:-

-Original Hasbro toy

-1999 Fox Kids

-Hasbro 10th Anniversary

-Beast Wars Grimlock

-Dinobots Grimlock

-BWII Thrustor

-BWN Hardhead

-Beast Machines Dinotron

And that's before we get into other possibilities like the Cyber Raptor from Season 3 and maybe even a heavy retool into Dinobot II! There's an absolutely insane amount of possibilities here to the extent I'm not even sure if Grimlock would be on the table, especially when his Japanese-exclusive retools were show characters!
I honestly have to question why Hasbro and Takara were so addicted to this mold; it wasn't even good.

Okay, here's an idea for an accessory he can come with.

The stone-axe from 'Code of Hero'.

I get the feeling he will come with that - Masterpiece figures do include more accessories significant to the character than simply their standard weapons

Come to think of it, since Code of Hero was so notable and there's now precedence for it in MP-36 Megatron, anyone else think we'll get some optional battle damage head and chest pieces? :-?

The skull helmet would be nice as well, but they'd probably save it for a potential toy-accurate repaint with translucent parts.

I wonder if we'll ever get a "real life" transforming velociraptor that's a little more "killer chicken" and little less Jurassic Park?

I suppose if you transform BM Silverbolt just right...

Edit:didn't see the other thread

We have our first render of this glorious figuee. I'm not fully sure of it because i can't read the text, being in japanese, but looks legit to me. nd it looks awesome. If a little pudgy in dino mode. But doesn't look like there's robo kibble there.

Several Seibertronians, including Ironhidensh, Insurgent, and ScottyP, have sent us notifications from Tokyo Toy Show - still ongoing until the end of the weekend! - about the first full render of the next Beast Wars Masterpiece in Takara Tomy's Transformers line: MP Dinobot! The heroic, fan-favourite, Predacon but Maximal can be seen in its full grey drawing below, via Twitter user chromless. Let us know what you think!

That is one chubby velociraptor. Even his cankles have cankles. While I'm not a fan of beast wars I am a fan of dinosaurs so I was kinda looking forward to this one, but I'm disappointed. The robot mode looks pretty good but the dinosaur mode is really weak. Transformation looks interesting though so I guess that's something?

The dinosaur mode only looks funny because no scale texture/paint has been added.

Both torsos look a little too big but I'm not judging it yet. Not only is this a render, it's an untextured gray model render. I might be so forgiving because I really want it to be good and I'll probably get it anyway.

To be fair Dinobot's raptor model in the show was a little thick.

Yeah, it's weird to think and remember like that but Dinobot... man, those thighs.

It's more evident on video than a single frame or picture can convey. And yeah, I know this is the clone, but same model.

Courtesy of fellow Seibertronian Ironhidensh, we've got even more images about yet another Takara Masterpiece - the heroic Beast Wars Predacon-turned-Maximal Dinobot! Coming straight from an Imgur post by Reddit user Lacklustername, this should give us an even better idea of how the third Beast Wars Masterpiece should look and hopefully indicates more images coming soon.

If they continue to go cartoon-accurate in size relative to the other characters, that's pretty much a given considering he was quite a tall bot in the show.

I haven't found a size chart yet, but Rhinox and Dinobot were both bigger than Primal, Tigatron was Primal's size, Cheetor and Airazor were slightly smaller, and then Rattrap was even smaller than them.
