I'm trying to understand your logic.

You said that Acid Storm would "kill the chances of Hasbro making MP Skywarp." First of all, how can you kill the chances of something that already happened? And second, that would seem to imply that you believe there WAS a chance that Hasbro would be making another MP Skywarp in the near future. Even if Hasbro HADN'T made a MP Skywarp recently, I still don't see how making Acid Storm would "kill" any chance of them making Skywarp. Hasbro made MP Starscream and Skywarp, and that didn't stop them from following up with Thundercracker. Thundercracker didn't stop them from making Acid Storm (if this rumor is true). So why would Acid Storm suddenly kill any chance of Skywarp?

He's greedy for Skywarp and wants all of us to pay the price for another MP Skywarp to clog the pegs for months like the last time he saw fruition.

We don't need this again..

Like myself and many others, I think he wants a Skywarp in the new MP-11 mold. Has that happened yet? No.

Besides, what chances do Skywarp have of making it to Wal-Mart at this point? MPs have been TRU Exclusives for the last 4 releases (Grimlock, Rodimus, Thundercracker, Optimus) with much greater success. We have Starscream and Thundercracker in the new mold. It's only natural that some fans would want Skywarp to follow.

Acid Storm might delay Skywarp by virtue of being another version of that mold. Not that I mind too much. I love MP-11 molded seekers. I'm excited for Acid Storm, if true. Now I just need MP-11S Sunstorm to go on clearance at BBTS/TFsource already...

Shut up take my money and give me ACIDSTORM!!!!

To be honest I like having the older skwarp mold...it makes him look more young/immature compared to the mp-11 molds. Some uniqueness on the shelf compared to a string of inevitable seeker repaints our buddies at Has/Tak will gladly provide us with. :P

By now I just call it seeker syndrome, they will all come with time lol.

This, except the feelings about MP Seekers.

The more the better I say. Soon we will have our fleet of seekers to rain terror down on the Autobots :D.

Seriously though, Hasbro must include all the tapes, or we will NEVER SEE THEM. I say that if MP 13 occupies the same price slot as MP 10, we SHOULD get the other tapes. The tapes are also the size of the old G1 cassettes so this is not like we are asking much.

If anyone of importance is looking at this thread, make it so. I mean you have a great chance at trolling the community with Rumble and Frenzy ALONE. throwing in Buzzsaw and Ravage won't hurt either.

I hope that that is true. I would much rather buy a Takara Acidstorm than a Hasbro one.

I managed to secure myself a custom Masterpiece Acid Storm. I guess he wanted to unload it with the talk of a Hasbro Masterpiece Acid Stom in the works.

Here's the description.

You are bidding on an absolutely awesome Custom Transformers Masterpiece Acid Storm, one of the three legendary Transformer rainmaker seekers and the only one able to not only withstand but control the ability of acid rain to melt and corrode any material unfortunate enough to come in contact with him, Acidstorm is not one decepticon to be messed around with!!!  basing myself on a concept created some time ago, Acidstorm was customized with the highest quality automotive grade lacquer paint available and was modified on his hips to remove that undesirable hip kibble which when fixed not only gives him a more complete and streamlined appearance but better poseability not possible before! Acidstorm was also heavily modified his wings into a new batwing like shape to give him a more menacing look that sets him apart from his seeker brethren, and utilizing a unique method, I was able to replicate a truly awe- inspiring three dimensional acidic corrosion effect across his body,wings and tailfins  with the added benefit of awesome glow in the dark effects to really give a warning message to any autobot that dares come close! just charge it up with exposure to light and watch his menacing effect glow!  he was given several washes with high quality acrylics to bring out detail on panel lines in his body and circuitry details and was also applied with a subtle camo effect on his body that might not be so apparent in the pictures,then again it wouldn't be camo if it wasn't subtle! lol. Finally he was sealed throughout his painting process with Krylon UV resistant matte finish for a very durable and very long lasting paint job, although  while Acidstorm is fully transformable, VERY careful and limited transformation must be done to keep the paint from chipping or scratching, making this figure ideal for responsible adult collectors only. Figure measures about 9-10 inches tall in scale withothermasterpiece and leader class figures, comes 100% complete with instructions as well as custom painted null rays, missiles and base.

IIRC, they've only done this with 3 MP figures:
MP02, 04 (both at Target) and very oddly, Ghost Starscream (at TRU)
All other MP's: G1 Starscream, Grimlock, Rodimus w/Offshoot, MP10 and MP11 mold Thundercracker have had the Hasbro/US packaging. And considering TRU is the only mainstream/big-box retailer offering MP's, it's a sure bet that whatever the US will get, so will they.

It's not limited to MP's. DotM Jetwing Optimus Prime was released in Australia a week before his exclusive Japanese release, in TakaraTomy packaging. It's by no means an abandoned practice.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1 (plus repro Victorion hands and feet?)

I remember Australia also got a Takara MP Ultra Magnus release too so this may indeed be 50% true. Though the Acid storm color :SICK: makes my eyes bleed #-o :BANG_HEAD:

Did you miss the MP-11 mold part? Did a Hasbro MP-03 mold of Thundercracker ever happen? Think maybe that had something to do with how the 03 mold of Skywarp sold? So the logic is if an Acid Storm MP sells poopy (likely), there's little chance of Hasbro and TRU doing the MP-11 mold Skywarp next. But if TRU was willing to take Acid Storm, they probably woulda been equally willing to take Skywarp...because WTH is Acid Storm to them?

For Hasbro Soundwave I will look forward maybe we got the Energon Cube after all for MP Soundwave, but as if for Acidstorm, I would really prefered it if Hasbro took the chance to re-issue MP Skywarp with the new Starscream Mold...

Hence the part about the fact they coulda just done Skywarp instead. I'd wager Skywarp would sell a lot better than Acid Storm. Especially if they did it before TT...if TT even does one. But my point remains that Acid Storm would all but kill the chance of a Hasbro Skywarp...

You kind of get it - but not really. We want an MP11 Skywarp... chances be damned, we want it! Duh!

AND THERE ALREADY WAS A CLASSICS STARSCREAM...DIDN'T STOP THEM FROM MAKING ANOTHER, SUPERIOR ONE.

'Classics' vs. 'Universe' argument in 3..2..1...

Counter...then call MP-11 Skywarp Universe instead of MP!

1) Too much caps!
2) This line is too much of a cash cow. Whether it's a year or a couple more years down the road, logic dictates that either Takara or Hasbro will make a Masterpiece SW. If we have Sideswipe -> Red Alert -> Tigertracks -> ????? and Prowl -> Smokescreen -> Bluestreak -> ???? , then it's fair game that Takara's Starscream -> Sunstorm -> Skywarp, or Hasbro's Thundercracker -> Acid Storm -> Skywarp are possible paths. Good molds and money compliment each other all too nicely.
