You know what would be a kick in the face to 3P?
MP Devy...

To stay in scale, each member would be the size of Sideswipe.. under 90$ ea, perfect cartoon accurate. It would make Herc look like a MLP.

I know it's dreams, but the fact that HERC and Giant sell, means there is a market. a True MP Devy would sell to both sets of fans who purchased, and who didn't because it wasn't HasTak



Takara, we are here, we are ready.

While I would love to see a mp devy starting with him might not be a good idea. There are just to many devys out there. If they would make a gestalt I think they should start with something that hasn't over populated the market. Start with defense, pirahnicon, or menasor.

The only way TAK will do a combiner is if it is wholly Iconic.
Devy is the only choice they will make first. They also don't
Acknowledge 3P products, so they will do it based upon merit, and iconic value.

People would be much more willing to pay 600$ for official "perfect"
Devy from TAK, over the 3P, in regards to the MP line.

Honestly I think the Cone-heads will come before the first combiner.

where have you seen this info the latest i’ve heard is Dec ‘12

It's nice to see that after 5 years of dragging their heels, Takara is starting to show the Masterpiece line some love. 4 brand new molds and 6 new Transformers in just over a year is a pretty big improvement from 5 molds, 8 Transformers, and a number of repaints over the first many years of this line. I hope they keep it up. There are just so many I would love to see them do. I would love to see them do all of the series 1 Autobots and Decepticons including Reflector and the Rainmakers. Plus I would love to see them release Thundercracker and Skywarp at the same time this time, I find it annoying to have to wait years for different colours of the same mold.

Has anyone heard any buzz about a release date for Hasbro's MP-10 Optimus Prime? I'm wondering if I should save up for him, if he is out in October; or just get a Thundercracker, if he doesn't come out till Late November. I'd love to have the two, but if they are both on shelves at the same time I'll only be able to grab one.

I've been debating on Sideswipe too. that price point is a little rich for a figure of his size but I like him the more I see him. He would be AWESOME in primes trailer!

Those based purely after the repaint obvious future.
I bet we hear about...

Megatron v2.0
Ultra Magnus
Shockwave
Repaint autobot lambo, SS gen2, Sideburn ect.


Dreaming...

Jetfire
Prowl, Silver Streak,Blue Streak
Of course... The no way possible Jazz.

I really hope they don't reuse MP Sideswipe as Sun Streaker. Sun Streaker should really have a separate mold and transformation.

I imagine Sunstreaker will share a lot of parts with Wheeljack. In the same way that Jazz will probably share a lot of parts with Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen.

considering it’s a Masterpiece i’m assuming they wouldn’t cheap out with a repaint of sideswipe for sunstreaker. Red Alert’s fine. They’re both the same transformation and car. They cheat on the wheels but i can live with ONE little change. let’s not push it. i’m a little worried about how they would handle an inferno figure just because he’s a brick in the cartoon. His head would probly have no articulation. The only concrete reason i think they are going to make him soon is because red alert is coming with little effect parts to make him look like he’s glitching from the episode he gets damaged and becomes paranoid and him and inferno have a bromance in the end

I'm kinda hoping they up the ante and do at least six new molds (with perhaps even more characters) in the new year, there are just so many guys to get to (and gal if they ever do Arcee). An Inferno/Grapple mold would be great! And big too, compared to some of the smaller cars.
