I knew godbomber was going to happen as soon as Takara showed pictures of Ginrai. You don't slap feet like that on a toy unless there is some sort of combination that's going to happen.

 

Well... That was fast.
Preorders are up:

Transformers Masterpiece MP-37 Artfire - Big in Japan

 

Pics mirrored

 

Nightstick looks great!

But I am disappointed they didn't remold the shins to look more like the G1 toy.

 

Looks awesome, it has all the tampographs it needs (I hope those are factory applied and not stickers you have to put on yourself) although I expected a bit… more.

Also he’s 1000 Yen more than Inferno, but only comes with one extra face, a gun and Nightstick? I mean sure Nightstick is new and looks great, but looking at all the extras from Inferno this version lacks... he should be the same price. Or cheaper even.

 

Nice to see the ab crunch being used in the action pose pics.

 

Very nice.

 

  Well, there are the tail lights people wanted.

 

The targetmaster can plug directly into the arm "Headmasters" cartoon style.

 

Thanks for the pics! I mirrored your pics to the front for easy viewing.

 

'Sorry Reprolabels, there's nothing for ya this time.'

 

That looks amazing. Still not biting but amazing nevertheless.

 

Wow that made me chuckle. Thanks  

Up for preorder at TFSlow.

Edit: Looks like they're posting LG42 God Bomber as well but the link is broken.

 

I'm going to have to get this just to have an Artfire in my collection. The rarity of the G1 figure makes this that much more exciting to own.

I hope those are stickers though, it looks way too busy.

 

Cue the Takara has went too far toy reactions. First target master I have seen that looks like a coherent little figure.

 

Same pose, so awesome  

 

I'm not into targetmasters at all, but I agree. That's probably the best one I've seen so far. Gun mode looks sharp.

 

Love the general colors, but I hate the busy look with all the tampo's / hopefully stickers. Takara went too far toy on this one!
Anyhow, I'll definitely be getting it, naturally.

 

The shin tampos just don't work well without the raised detailing of the original toy.

 

Even I admit that was fast as hell, not even 12 hours from first rumors to official confirmation to preorders up!
