Oooooh.
Hurr-durr moment by me.
Aside from reflector and Shockwave, unless Shogo Hasui can convince TT's boffins of doing combiners in the line...we pretty much have all the season one cons (because the MP line has become re-focosed to acheive that goal).
True. I would hope they get to combiners soon down the line. Bruticus would be the crown jewel of all MP combiners to me.
Sure Megs needs an update, but he is already done, and as with MP1 and 10, TT will get their ears chewed off by somebody for not 'giving THEM a new character, this line is cheap, this line is a joke blah blah blah' so a V2 megs
wouldn't please everybody.
Owning the original MP01 (American 20th Anniversary release, in fact), and comparing it to MP10, I'm amazed people are pissy about that. I would much rather own MP10, for its much closer scale with the Seekers and the upcoming Autobot Cars. I for one would welcome a Megatron Ver. 2, because MP05 is ridiculously taxing when it comes to transformation, and the quality is questionable as well.
Shockwave is potentially still tied up in licensing and copyright issues with the Korean folk.
What's the deal with that? Shockwave is a
Cybertronian handgun. What, did the North Korean Armed Forces decide to patent it for military use?
That leaves reflector.
Hopefully he'd come with a neck strap so I could holiday abroad and pretend to be a tourist.
Hopefully they'll come up with Reflector soon: I need my 'Cons!
Not really. At least, I'm not.
It gives the Autobots a more human feel, like they're actual beings, not just gears, oil, and Energon. And to be fair on Arcee, every other character says "scrap" all the time too, even the human characters (which is odd, I'll admit).

I own both the
Reveal the Shield Tracks and
Generations Wheeljack. I'm pleased with both, but if I were in a store and both were side by side, had only enough to purchase one, and had to choose one or the other, I'd choose Wheeljack. I think his car mode looks better with the spoiler and the retooled front. It may be a tad short, but hey, it's taller than
Classics Bumblebee.
That said, and for shits and giggles, I made this in response:
