I wouldnt count on all the Autobots. Volkswagen, Jeep, and Corvette may not be as willing to license their old school cars to Hasbro. Same thing with who ever owns the Wheeljack or Mirage race cars. Maybe Trailbreaker/Hoist since it was a GM vechicle.

I'd worry a lot more about all the sponsors Mirage and Wheeljack have. Ho boy.
Trailbreaker and Hoist are Toyota brand trucks, which falls under the Toyota Motor Corporation, or TMC. TMC currently owns the Toyota, Scion, Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino Motors brands.

I feel like I'm missing something that everybody else is seeing. Or are we just speculating until we get some official pics? Like I said...I'm confused, but very interested to learn more and see some pictures!
I hope they're new molds because I can't justify spending $80 for each of these no matter how cool they are if they're just repeats of Sideswipe.

JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:For G1 and their reissues, a lot of characters were created using a limited amount of unique molds. The list goes a little like this:
Lamborghini Countach: Sideswipe, Red Alert, Tigertrack, Clamp Down, Deep Cover
Nissan Datsun/Fairlady Z: Prowl, Bluestreak, Smokescreen
Toyota 4WD Hi-Lux: Trailbreaker, Hoist
Onebox Cherry Vanette: Ironhide, Ratchet
Since Masterpiece strives for accuracy, we're 100% certain Prowl will be a new mold with Smokescreen and possibly Bluestreak as his retools, like in G1.
Bounti76 wrote:The newest Masterpiece to be announced before Prowl and Smokescreen was Tigertrack, who WILL be a repaint of MP Sideswipe, since the original (e-Hobby) Tigertrack was also a repaint/redeco of Sideswipe.
We can't be 100% sure until we see them, but I'm almost positive that they'll be a new, shared mold.

YES! YYYEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
This has been the greatest time in history! Now I don't need the BT versions in my fan-fiction/These MP figures will be perfect to display!
Now give us a Bluestreak, please Takara? And Jazz, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Wheeljack, Ironhide/Ratchet (if you could, similar to the iGear toys), Hound, Trailbreaker, Bumblebee (classic VW, please), Cliffjumper (I don't know if he or BB are coming first, so make this guy come first (and he better not be a red BB), since fans think Cliff is always a redeco of BB), Brawn, Gears, Windcharger, a smaller, better Megatron, MP-11 versions of Skywarp and Thundercracker (similar to TRU version, but removing the references) and Shockwave!!!
