My best guess foir MP09? Galvatron or Hotrod.

As a wildcard hows about a MP Wheelie with Sharkticon?

MP Cyclonus and Scourge would rule as would a MP Arcee

MP Arcee could be a monumental toy for many reasons, and of course, they could repaint it add nauseum putting whomever female name they would like on it.

Since there was no G1 toy produced and released, this would indeed be a phenomenal piece.

With all the extra bells and wistles that MP's often get, it'd be cool to see a MP Hot Rod that is also MP Rodimus Prime and is able to convert between the two somehow. Doesn't seem like it's be terribly easy to do or necessarily even possible, but the transformation on the movie Prime toy shows me they can at least do a lot more than I would have thought possible.

I'm hoping for Fortress Maximus, as tall as G1 Scorponok.

Since I first saw the G1 toy...neighbor's melted windshield and all. :p Later on, I dunno, I just think he looks cool, and he's not as annoying as everyone makes him out to be, IMO. Is that why you're loling? :p

If there is an mp HotRod(or Rodimus) im going to put money aside for it as soon as its announced and preorder it first chance i can. I missed out on Megatron (still pissed about that) im not gonna miss out on my favorite autobot of all time. Same thing if theres a Soundwave one. But the next MP I want to see is Mirage. There hasnt been a F1 TF in so long its time to make another. Hell ill be happy if they make an F1 mirage of any class even ROTF.

If it's either Galvatron or Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime, they can claim my money now. I'd go up to $150 for a proper MP of either of them.

Everyone seems to forget that there is an Ultra Magnus MP figure. If they made MP Prime with his trailer, why not Magnus with his trailer??? It would be awesome. But my 2nd guess is Rodimus.
As far as Encore figures, Well why not the rest of the Autobot cassettes? In case some of you don't know what I'm talking about: http://transformers.wikia.com/wiki/W_Cassettebot
But I hope They do rare figures, like Reflector, or the Omnibots. That would be awesome.

Rodimus and Galvatron seem like obvious choices, though I am hoping for Soundwave or Shockwave, or continue with the Dinobots.

Gee, tough question, as they already evened them up... No, wait, there's three Autobots and 2 Decepticons. Who am I talking about, you might ask. Well, there's Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Ultra Magnus, then on the Decepticon side there's Starscream and Megatron. Oh, yea, then there's the two other Seekers. Man, this reply is complicated... Yea, it's gonna be either Rodimus Prime or Hot Rod. :-?

They need to make a Soundwave. Hell, for all we know it could be him he was in 2010.

How about they just come up with a trailer/armor upgrade for MP-02 repackage the whole set and call it the Perfect Edition Ultra Magnus. They're already half-way there.

This probably won't happen, (due to the 2010 hint, most likely Rodimus), but I am hoping for MP Ironhide. Only the Masterpiece treatment can produce a G1 accurate Ironhide for both robot and vehicle mode, since the cartoon robot mode was essentially a cheat to cover up the fact that the original toy robot did not have a head. Obviously, they can milk the mold for a Ratchet repaint.

I think everyone can agree that Wheelie deserves the MP treatment. :P

I can see Hot Rod or Rodimus Prime. The only other Autobot I can easily see would be a complete Ultra Magnus or Bumblebee, both of which I want ahead of Rodimus Prime, though.

Bumblebee's sort of small, but is an integral figure if you ask me, and his G1 figure sucked. Bad.

Decepticons? I can see several more, but I'd say I'm hoping Soundwave above all else, and possibly Shockwave as new sculpts. But I don't know how popular Shockwave would be. Retools of the coneheads makes sense, and I'd buy all 3 of them.

But if they're doing "Leaders", then Rodimus and Galvatron have to go hand-in-hand. I was hoping they'd end the line with those two though, as they're not high on my list.

One thing in Rodimus's favor is the fact that the new Black Convoy has Rodimus on his comm-link, and that's been an indicator before of which MP would be coming next previously. The only one appearing on the screen before who we haven't seen an MP of is Bumblebee, which is the one thing that throws that off.

^Interesting, has that communicator bit been confirmed, or just speculation?

I mentioned him. I just stated my slight preference for Hot Rod first. :P

Hot Rod would be cool.

Just as long as he is in scale with MP Prime. If it is Hot Rod he should be the size of an Alternator. If they are going for Rodimus Prime he should be bigger in botmode than an Alternator.

MP Grimlock was a disappointment in my book, figure is way too small.

No idea if it's been proven by any reliable source, but it's been a pattern I've noticed. I've read others' comments too, and they seem to have found the pattern.

MP-01 had Bumblebee and Starscream, if I remember correctly, then the MP-02 had Prime on the comm-link (the other arm just had some techno-babble), MP-04 had Megatron AND Grimlock...

So far, the only comm-link to not "preview" (and precede) a forthcoming figure is the MP-01 Bumblebee comm-link. I found it odd that it was Starscream on the MP-01 display, and not Megatron, then we got Starscream. MP-02 wasn't previewed, but Starscream-forward were.

I'm assuming that the Black Convoy comm-link wasn't an accident, and is a sneak-peak at the next MP.

I could be 100% wrong and it's all speculation, but it's worked so far.

I would kill for a Masterpiece Triple Changer! MP Blitzwing anyone? =P~

Otherwise I'd be happy for a Galvatron or Rodimus. Or maybe the Perfect Edition Ultra Magnus.

I bet they'd be itching to do Bumblebee, if only Volkswagen would let up on the use-of-image thing. Not only would it be a well-known and iconic character, but the repaints and remolds could go on for a while. Masterpiece Glyph and Tap-Out as exclusives, anyone?

Galvatron or Rodimus would be nice. I can't see Soundwave really working - there are too many aspects which can't be usefully reconciled.

However, there is one possibility that everyone seems to have overlooked for the moment (possibly due to the Binaltech version of him). A highly repaintable, well-known G1 character who appeared in many stories and arcs, has continued appearing in comics to the present day, and who forms part of the Autobot command structure.

Who would be interested in... Masterpiece Prowl?
