Masterpiece
00:52:54 Transformers Masterpiece Skids New Image & New Red Redeco “Reboost” Revealed in scans from Figure King magazine
According to some extra information from the Figure King Magazine pictures, Reboost will include the iconic Honda Motocompo which was included with the original Diaclone mold release.
There’s five Diaclone Skids colours. This is … just the one they chose.

Possible New Masterpiece Skyfire In The Works
The image only shows Japanese text and it’s a brief commentary about Skids and his new upcoming redeco. In one line, it mentions that more Masterpiece figures are in the works including Skyfire.
Confirmation of size for Masterpiece Raiden.
Additionally, we finally have some new information about Masterpiece Raiden, a project we hadn’t learned much after its announcement while back by the end of 2019. It is mentioned that the size of the train Combiner would be similar to the Unite Warriors/Combiner Wars gestalts. You can click hereto share your impressions on the 2005 Board.

Transformers 7 Movie News
01:17:45 Transformers 7 Receives A $200 Million Budget, Filming In Canada Confirmed
(Film here guys, we have no covid… ask Marvel)
Futuristic Vehicle Concept Artists Hired For Transformers 7
The artists in question have previously worked on both land and air vehicles not existing in real life. They have worked on projects relating to Star Wars, Marvel Cinematic Universe (Black Panther etc.), and the upcoming Suicide Squad.
Interesting that the new film appears to be mostly studio-bound. With futuristic vehicle designs at play, could this be a Cybertron-based prequel of some kind?
Anyway, while we’ve been discussing that, ANOTHER new Transformers movie has been announced to be in the works
They’re like buses … miss one, wait 5 years and then they all come at once.
The notable part of this guy’s pedigree is that he was the showrunner for Netflix’s Marvel Defenders series (other stuff, I’m not familiar with). It’s interesting that they’re heading into what is essentially “TV talent” for the new films (although lets not forget Bay came from the advertising world).
