Reports are coming in about the next Masterpiece figure from Japan.

According to Joel from BigBadToyStore.com, who called it "MP-10"
We’ve just received word from Japan that the Transformers MP-10 will be released in September, the retail price in Japan is 22,000 yen, we have preorders listed at $249.99

The name has currently not yet been released, but we were told it is a ‘New’ figure and the name will be revealed soon.

Here is a link to the preorder: MP-10 Masterpiece - Name Currently Unknown

Sidecutter of the 2005 Boards also received this info:

We have received from Takara the information about the next Transformers Master Piece. They called it in Japanese New but the offer specify that the name maybe change in the future.

There are 2 pcs per case. Retail of YEN22,000 in japan. Delivery in September 2011.

So, something big is coming down the pipe in the Masterpiece world this September. Let the speculation begin!

I figure it will either be Powermaster Prime or Star Convoy.....WE NEED GALVATRON, DAMMIT!
Boy Wonder
Well all I have to say to that is: hurm....
Weirdwolf
New Soundwave for the win!
Edgewise
Some "New" Convoy certainly makes sense with them making the "Last Shot" edition of the original MP Prime mold.
ORIO
Rather see Soundwave before Prime. And is it too much to ask for the rest of the Dinobots??
omega145
I'm still waiting on Hot Rod to make his way to the states.
CVprowl
that would suck for people who JUST bought the last shot, like me.

shockwave for the win!
megatroptimus
A true MP Movie Prime maybe? To coincide with the movie...
Fort Max
This is honestly the most exciting bit of non news I've ever seen, well played Takara.

Less excited about the price, that is high end Soul of Chogokin money right there.

If it's an MP PM Prime, then... well... hello savings account!

or if there was some working music feature with the tapes being chipped and SW being a chip reader...
might explain the pricetag, but not the 'new convoy'part

It's probably just a redeco of roddy. Like in clear or black or chrome or something innovative like that.

^This. And judging from the enormous price point, this seems like its gonna be a whopper of a figure.

Just for the record, Takara's solicit does NOT say 'New Convoy" as far as I know. It simply says "New", according to the supplier who sent this. That it might be "New Convoy" is entirely my conjecture.
Trailbreaker77
Soundwave or Wheeljack would be awesome!
bulletthebluesky
Holy crap, thatsa lotsa monay! Maybe something big like, dun-dun-dun, Devastator?!
AngryChad
A real Ultra Magnus with the trailer?
Lord-Starscream
I'm betting it's ultramagnus with trailer, that would be awesome and serve justice to do him right. Was it the last shot version or sleep mode prime that had ultramagnus on his communicator? But need galvitron, soundwave ands his tapes would be awesome as well. And I know I'm going out on a limb but their were some rumor of mp devy maybe it's hook and longhaul as a two pack and every 3 months or so the next two, that would hurt tf club devy, it's unlikely but possible just my 2 cents
Edgewise
Given the nearly $300 price tag some options:

-3 pack of Conehead MPs
-3 pack of Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen or Sunstreaker/Sideswipe/Red Alert (but why sell a new mold in a 3-pack?)
-MP Movie Prime with trailer
-MP PM Prime
-MP Ultra Magnus, using a new cab mold
-MP Devastator
-A limited edition repaint of Rodimus... or a Rodimus with something more added on...but what? Not just a Targetmaster
-MP Fortress Maximus... he's the next Autobot Leader after Rodimus
Lord-Starscream
Oh..... And please takara I hope it isn't anything with new movie stuff crap, I then would be so disappointed those toys just not appealing to most people.

Personally, I'd find it hilarious if they did a 3 pack of Coneheads. I love 3rd Party stuff, but this would be unbelievably funny if they and iGear went head to head on it

That said, a new Ultra Magnus with trailer or a Fortress Maximus would be my preferred one.

Or maybe it's like the eHobby and we are getting two or three crucial characters at once? A la Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge? THAT would be amazing!
Fort Max
Perhaps Rodimus, despite it's unfortunate flaws, did rather well for them and they've decided that trailers aren't so evil after all.
AutobotMaximal
Probably something to do with Movie Prime with his trailer.

I don't think it will be 3 new molds like Galvy, Cyclons and Scourge. THat's a lot of development cost. I would think its either

1. same mold diff tooling (like coneheads or car bots)
2. something like Victory Saber (2 bot)

I don't think it will be an MP devy. Almost 0 chance. And if its a MP Fort Max, I would drool, but I don't think 300$ would cover one if its to be at the right size.

omg.... Victory Saber would be so winner But it has probably zero chances to happen

Anyway I still hope for Galvatron

Yeah, but I can't imagine Galvatron to be worth that much... are they giving him a trailer, too?!

And yes, Victory saber would be make it the first MP I buy.

VS would be a dream for me... But coming back on the earth, for that price I'd appreciate also a God Ginrai ^__^
Ribieconvoy
I'm betting for MP Powermaster Prime or MP Ultra Magnus. No way they'd charge almost 300 bucks for just Galvatron.
BraveMax
Didn't they recently announce that DOTM Shockwave's name in Japan is "NewBrain"?

Perhaps it's Shockwave. Would certainly be timely, given his appearance in the movie...

No more primes!
No more autobots!

Um...not confirmed who is new brain.

Hmm....interesting...

This is the best translation I could get.

I'm going to guess a Rodimus repaint. It seems rather soon after the last new mold MP (ie: MP RP) to have a completely new mold MP again. If previous history in this line gives us any hints to this, it's most likely going to be a repaint.

The document says exactly what Sidecutter said it says:

"(September) Masterpiece New (Placeholder name)"

That character to the right of the name means that the name is temporary. So... It could be totally unrelated to the toy's actual name.

This is likely, though i am surprised since the 3rd party release of a similar item was supposed to be the nail in the MP's coffin... Personally i just want Galvatron

No, it's about as confirmed as it gets that Newbrain is Shockwave. Unless Takara has mixed up EVERY solicitation they have sent to every retailer and wholesaler to date, it's Shockwave. Ever solicit with a pic for Newbrain shows Shockwave, and no other Shockwave listings come alongside them.

What's the bottom, out of curiosity? I got:

"Toranusufuoma Maburasodo Masutopisushi rizu (kanji again) aitemu", so 'Transformers (something) Masterpiece rise (something) (something)", I think, not sure what the end is meant to be...
exclusacon
300$?

Gotta be a completely new mold Galvatron or Dinobot?

Dead Prime didn't move @ 300$...I doubt its Prime....
LightningZERO
That's one hefty price tag
Lord-Starscream
I really think its devastator $300 for 3 and the other 3 the same so 2 two packs of 3 all in all $600 for mp devy, yea 300 is alot for one figure.
Galvanitro
@ Sidecutter: Kanji can mean any of these: executive secretary, party coordinator, Chinese characters, feeling, sense, impression, government business, stereotyped epithet

aitemu only means item
Thundershot
Fortress Maximus would be cool if he had all his features (double headmaster, cog). Also, even if he's Grimlock sized, he'd be perfect with a Classics shelf (Marvel comics sized). For that price, with all of the extras...

I need to wake up now.
Spiderus Prime
Masterpiece Optimus Primal?

The bottom part means "New item in the masterpiece series, the top in the Transformers brand".

The retail price translates to about $278.50 USD. Whatever this puppy is, it's either a multi-pack, or BIG.
