I can't wait for this guy's release! He and his kids are going to look nice along with Optimus Prime (MP-10, of course), the Seekers, Grimlock, Sideswipe and Red Alert! =P~

Although for a US release, Hasbro would make him have a yellow visor (common on all of his G1 reissues, by both TT and Hasbro), a lighter blue and possibly omit either Frenzy or Rumble (and possibly swap their names as well), Buzzsaw (even though he was included in the US release of SW) and price them between the TC price and the OP price. Either way, whichever one is much more superior, hold on for Hasbro's release. ;)

Meh, think I'll punt on this one. It looks too much like the original G1 version and exhibits no novel creativity. The addition of the minions is a cool concept, but it's been done before. I think giving them all new bodies and transformations would spice up interest and bring in more business. At it's current state, given the price, it's not worth the commitment in my humble opinion. Why can't it be a Masterpiece sized version of Soundwave in an alternate mode that resembles a satelitte? That was fresh and drove the market in a new direction! :HEADHURTS:

They look fantastic! I have no regrets cancelling Sideswipe. I really think I'd kick myself if I did the same here though.

I never got any of the Masterpiece figures-- too rich for my money, but Soundwave I'd like to be able to get, maybe even more than the new Optimus! But if there's one photo I would like to see of him, it would be this:

The street light alternate mode with an led light would be something!

Strange i've always liked the outcast characters like Buzzsaw and Reflector.

Fingers crossed the next MP will be Reflector or Shockwave (w/Ratbat)


A masterpiece Reflector would be a great piece, unfortunately the character is not popular enough for the masterpiece treatment. I wonder if it would actually sell.
