However, why is there no Ultra Magnus based on MP-10?
Well I have some good news for you, [I may be totaly wrong as it's unusual to know so many of the up and coming MP figures, usualy we know one, 2 if we are lucky and usualy that's a repaint] you have overlooked, that there are several up andcoming new releases, aswell as several repaints, there is Wheeljack, Bumblebee, and yes Ultra Magnus. SO far no prototype figures have surfaced to give us a glimpse, but aparently these are all confirmed furure releases andare already up for pre order.
Back to your choice on 1st and 2nd. I hope you and anyone who actualy votes and has a real influence on what is released will reconsider Fortress Maximus as a contender. I think it would make a great release, but there are other figures that should come before, and in the list he should be the last out of the G1 figures. My reason being is that the MP line is a chance for characters that never met there potential first time round. Also let sface it, FOrtress Maximus doesn't need the MP treatment to transform, as his alt modes are totaly fanatasy. Yeah victory leo is a robotic cat, but there are still proportion restrictions etc.
Fortress Maximus also doesn't have the best robot mode, IMO, and Your next choice of God Ginrai aka Powermaster Prime, had an awful toy robot mode, and we know from the artwork that if he was done right could have an amzing robot form. The recent release of Gnerations Metroplex has MP posability and has the scale, so until the characters the are more deserving of the MP treatment, surelt Metroplex can fill the space for MP Maximus.
There are some on the List such as Galaxy Force Prime, which is a nice figure but Powermaster Prime is the inspiration for that figure and Galaxy Force Prime has no right to get the MP treatment before PM Prime. ANd there are some figures that even with the MP treatment will still be rubbish such as Armada prime, how could they make an MP figure of him before even Galavtron. We need a JetFire and a SKyFiire, as there are definently 2 moulds there, and a shockwave, as this would sort out the mould rights problems, if they have there own official version and they could base the designon the anime and comic stylings to create and overcome any similarity design issues.
