Between Now and December 6 Masterpiece figures are coming out
-MP-10 Optimus Prime
-MP-11 Thundercracker
-MP-11 Sunstorm
-MP-12 Sideswipe
-MP-13 Soundwave
-MP-14 Redalert

i know this a lot and i’m sounding impatient but i’m curious what you think would be the next masterpiece to come out or what you would like to see. and on a side note what do think of sunstorm price wise. worth it?

i’m hoping the next one is Sunstreaker but not a repaint to go with Sideswipe or Inferno to go with Redalert. But since it’s easier to do a repaint of Thundercracker/Starscream/Sunstorm we’ll probably get another MP-11 mold of Skywarp . I don’t mind though since i never got the MP-3 mold but there’s so much going on now i don’t expect anything too soon which is fine after all 6 masterpieces in 4 months. Pretty awesome glad i started saving up last month and pre-ordered Redalert & Sideswipe and just got my Thundercracker last week

Sunstreaker
Blaster
Ravage
Rumble
Frenzy

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.

Why is Jazz not possible?

I'm curious too, why not Jazz??? I'd love for them to continue the dinobot line especially with Swoop, and dreaming of an Ultra Magnus, or my real dream would be a kick-ass Cyclonus

Porsche no give license.
I'm not sure how much of VW owns Lambo now,
But VW has had a strict policy of no guns with thier cars.
Unless they finally worked something else, Jazz's alt mode has been
Off limits. If they do Jazz, it would open up the possibility of MP Cliffy and Bee.
Which if it's the g1 alt modes, I'm in.

I would also imagine MP Magnus finally coming to light.
Since the line has an official scale. I would be willing to bet.
It will be just a repaint with a new trailer that can carry the
Autobot cars.

takara got licensing to sideswipe/lambo and jazz could happen eventually but i agree probly not any time soon

Actually, Soundwave and Red Alert are Jan '13 releases. Besides, Prime and Thundercracker are Hasbro releases, so it's not Takara's fault for making your wallet bleed.

I am getting Soundwave and the cassettes. I am reserving MP purchases for only my favorite characters. The downsized Sideswipe/mold just doesn't do it for me.

I am hoping for an Ultra Magnus. I think the MP scale is perfect to display him on my Classics shelf.

The only MPs I'm going to buy will be a new Megatron and a Galvatron whenever they are made. I only am buying the leaders for my shelf due to lack of space and wanting to put funds towards my classics figures.

Of course, should an MP Star Sabre and Deathsaurus get made, I'll snatch them up too.

I for one am super-stoked on the MP line these days. I think the releases we're likely to get soon are the cassettes (as we've already seen some preliminary molds), Ultra Magnus, and perhaps a scaled down Megatron and a Shockwave (as Takara did seem to suggest that while presenting the new MPs).

As for what I would like to see, obviously we need a VW bug Bumblebee and a Porsche Jazz. I think it's weird that Takara can still release figures using the old 80's molds of these characters (as Encores or characters like Bug Bite), but we can't get MP versions, why can't they just stylize the vehicles just enough to bear strong resemblence but not be exact VW replicas?

Other than that, I am excited to get ANY G1 character as a Masterpiece. Maybe a Blaster with his cassettes. Maybe an up-scaled Grimlock would be good to get out of the way and clear a path for other Dinobots. Maybe sell him with Wheelie to sweeten (sour?) the pot? Maybe some insecticons. Oooo, any gestalt would be awesome. More cars, like Wheeljack, Prowl/Bluestreak/Smokescreen, Mirage, Hound, I could just go on forever...
