Couldn't have been said better.

now heres the real surprise: g1 scourge!!!!! hah if only if only. thats be like a repaint of classics silverstreak into g1 barricade how effing cool would that be?!?!?!

i love when these things show up the wild speculation goes to new levels of ambitious and the arguments for the insanely ambitious concepts that we will blatantly never see go into overdrive. Why post a silhouette for the MP10 mold if its for a magnus with armour? why hold back something so major we would literally cream ourselves at any sort of confirmation?
Personally, till ive got MP soundwave in hand i dont give a flying crap about any other MP that may be released (except Galvatron, id wet myself at that)

Logically i think its an MP10 repaint, nothing more, nothing less, maybe a re-release without the trailer and a few fixes. Nemesis Prime/Black Convoy is my hope (if you can call it hope) as im a whore for black repaints. we had a massive run of new molds (Grimlock, Robimus, MP10, Sideswipe, Soundwave) and a few retools (starscream, Sunstorm, Red Alert) to come, i can honestly see a repaint to make use of the engineering of the MP10 (god knows MP1 got reused enough). I know theres an attitude of 'if its magnus it must have a trailer as armour' but seriously, the cost of engineering a GOOD mp trailer that breaks down into functional armour... the engineering cost of that would push the price sky high. theres a would of difference between what fansproject put out as their trailer and the G1 version, and classics prime sure as heck isnt MP10.

repaints fund new designs guys

If this albino prime doesn't involve proper trailer armor, I'll flat out refuse to buy it. I realize the world doesn't revolve around me, but I'm sure a LOT of other masterpiece collectors feel the same way.

Ooouhhhh... Optimus Prime with blue headlights!

Sharted Glass MP Optimus
G2 colored MP Optimus
Nemesis MP Prime
Beast Wars color MP Prime
BumbleBee colored MP prime
KOLD MP Prime
Clear Ghost MP Prime
BAPE MP Prime
Pepsi MP Prime
Sleeper MP Prime
PTSD DOTM MP Prime


IT COULD BE FRIGGIN ANYTHING...

but MP magnus, with a trailer.
That would just be, too smart of a move.

And don't tell me you wouldn't gladly pay 299$ for a proper MP Magnus.
I'd pay upwards of 399$, considering small 1/60 Macross fighters go for that, I don't see why it wouldn't, especially since it would be a JP only release.

Pfft. I'm going back to sleep.

here we go again...

I reckon it's Ginrai!

You see, the visible text there is 神秘的なシルエ -

Shinpitekina Shirue - I think the missing part is tto, making it Mysterious Silhouette- but that's not the point.

The first character can be read as Jin, 神. As in 超神; CHOUJIN!

Choujin Masterforce! I think the word itself has been left as a clue! It wouldn't be the most cryptic clue ever used... Remember the Rodimus reveal?



Well, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

AdamPrime, I like the way you think.

If they were to give us a Masterpiece Ginrai, I would die of happiness.

...BUT, sadly, I do not believe that a simple redeco of MP-10 (with or without a new super mode trailer) would be a justifiable way of giving us an MP Ginrai. Ginrai would need, no, deserve his own mold since the the only thing he really has in common with Convoy/Optimus on an identical level is his head. Everything else about his body is a new design, different from Convoy/Optimus. Even the place meant of his smokestacks and windshields is different. to do true justice to the character, Ginrai should have his own mold.

I want it. As long as it comes with the Ultras Magnus trailer if it will be Ultra Magnus. About having a new mold for Ultra Magnus... wasn't Ultra magnus just a white convoy with Armor?
