A few weeks ago we learned about a new Takara Tomy Raiden Project that would be finally revealed at the special exhibition: “A Railway Story In The Sky” in Japan.

Today, images from the event reveal a big poster with a Raiden silhouette and a text that translates: “Starting with Transformers Masterpiece! Raiden project has started”. It seems Takara has a new plan for Trainbot Combiner Raiden, a Japanese exclusive character and toy from 1987, now with an upcoming Masterpiece mold.

There’s still no extra details about this project, but the display at the event features the original G1 toys next to the new Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime Ver. 3 and MP-45 Bumblebee Ver. 2 as well as a monitor showing clips of Raiden from the Japanese exclsuive “The Headmasters” cartoon.
