French Transformers Fan Club Part 1: Introduction

This and future installments are also posted on the Facebook group From the Vault - TF Showcase.

Some time ago, I was asked by my good friend Martin Sønderby Lund to be a guest writer for The Vault page. I want to share these articles also here on my blog since not everyone can read them on the Facebook group. So please enjoy.

These were the legendary words that Megatron spoke in The Transformers: The Movie just before he got upgraded into Galvatron.

After a hiatus of more than 8 years, yes 8 years! I am back! What will happen to this blog is sort of similar to what Megatron went through, a change, an upgrade!

Well, what can you expect? For a short time, I have been guest writing for a Transformers Facebook page called From the Vault - TF Showcase. I will share some of those articles also over here, as well as write unique new content. Mainly focused on vintage Transformers Generation 1 subjects this time around.  Also, the Blog itself will get an esthetic upgrade. More on that soon.

Tracks update

The website TAG Hobby has posted a new scan of MP-25 Tracks from Dengeki Hobby Magazine.

This newly released picture of Tracks gives a good view of how the toy will eventually look like. It seems much better proportioned then the first released picture.

Tracks confirmed

The latest Masterpiece rumours were true! MP-25 will definitely be the Corvette Stingray Tracks. The first prototype picture of Tracks has been revealed. It's from a newly released hobby magazine in Japan.

The naked Magnus MP-10U KO

When MP-22 was announced, there were initially two camps. One that was really pleased with the all-in-one cartoon accurate transformation and one that rather wanted to have a white MP-10 Prime with a separate Magnus armor. Similar to the original G1 toy. Well both camps can be pleased now, because a KO of white MP-10 will also be released. As some already call him, the naked Ultra Magnus.

New Rumour upcoming Masterpieces

Several sources online claim that MP-25 will not be an updated version of Megatron, but actually the Autobot car Tracks. More upcoming Masterpieces are announced, MP-26 will be a red repaint of Tracks named Road Rage and MP-27 will most likely be Ironhide.
 

Masterpiece commercial

With the release of MP-22 Ultra Magnus, TakaraTomy also released a commercial for the Masterpiece line. Mainly focusing on Magnus, but also showing all the previous released Masterpiece cars. Actually all, but one. Because Red Alert is the only Autobot car that is absent in the video.
