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.

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 they changed VW's minds for the Lambo rights, then everyone else will fall in line. I'm sure Nissan is happy with the coolness of the Alternity GTR's. My guess is these will be original Z's.

As far as everyone else, they got Binaltech's, and with older models, most companies aren't trying to make money of old designs. I'd say there's a good shot at getting everyone, with only BB, Jazz and CJ being the two biggest pain in the asses

I always thought Trailbreaker and Hoist were Ford Broncos. Theres always repro labels for those unwilling sponsors like Alitalia on Wheeljack. But who owns made the car ? Same thing for Mirage ? How about Inferno and Grapple ? We know Volkswagen wont let Bumblebee happen. Did porshe say no in the past ? And WTF is Cliffjumper anyways ? In my childhood I always assumed he was a Honda...

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.

You must have never owned any of these figures, or even picked them up.

The only difference between the Prowl molds and Smokescreen is a spoiler, a modified front end, and no light bar. The internal parts, doors, hood, everything else is EXACTLY the same.

There is not a single part of the figure shared at all between G1 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. They are totally different molds with totally different transformation schemes.

They will probably just do the same thing they did with Sideswipe/Red Alert and do a clip-on light bar.

Dammit Takara. Too many figures, too little time. Might just get prowl or something.

If it's Sideswipe sized, I'm not really impressed.

He will be about Sideswipe sized. TakaraTomy have finally nailed down a scale for the Masterpiece toys and so far they are sticking to it.

It's



then



I can see it now

Can't wait for Mirage's turn to get his MP treatment. He was my first (and only) G1 TF as a kid, and was my favorite toy for years. Lost him when I moved about a decade ago, and there's little chance of an Encore toy, since the mold is gone.

An MP Mirage wold be a dream come true for me.
