I hope BlueStreak and Sunstreaker are the next two to be anno0unced.

Followed by Jazz and Bee'
Followed by Jazz G2 repaint, and Goldbug.


hot damn! I love me more cars!



I wondering what the next 200$ price point fig will be..

Shockwave?
Renewal Megatron?
Blaster?



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. :roll:

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.


If Trailbreaker and Hoist get MPs before "proper" Classics releases... what a world! But then I could say the same for Soundwave as he's yet to receive a "proper" Classics release, only 2 video game versions or the Music Label version from a few years ago.

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!!!

Oh, looking for this?

that would all be nice but they will never make a jazz the same way as the others they would not make him a porsche and bumblebee a VW if you remember there were licencing issues with the alternators and as for cliffjumper i never thought even back when i was a kid that cliff was a repaint of bumble bee
i could tell they were different molds so the statement that fans think Cliff is always a redeco of BB is completely false

Great! Preordered! Prowl was my first Transformer ever as a kid in the '80's, so excited to get him in Masterpiece!

And maybe because Smokescreen's getting some play in Prime right now, so maybe trying to capitalize on some of the mindshare.

I'm not sure about repaints with these two, prowl to Smokescreen is about as
Much difference in the body as Sideswipe vs Sunstreaker.

They will have to retool prowls roof to make a silver/blue streak.

God I wish Sunstreaker would become reality.

Volkswagen Group owns Lambo and Porsche, if they finally budged to allow Sideswipe then you can bet Takara will Eventually get what they need to do others from that licensing deal.
