Update : Local Malaysian Toy Shop Indicated MP10 as Convoy

Posted by TCracker Apr 22, 2011 at 1:39am CDT 32,484 views
Local Malaysian Toy Shop - Famitoys had indicated that MP10 will be Convoy Version 2. That gave extra confirmation that the next Masterpiece will be none other than Optimus Prime, possible with a new remolded look.

This has been reported a few days back and speculation has been rife on who will be MP-10, but this latest tidbit shed more credibility to the news posted earlier here in Seibertron.com

I'm not believing anything until I see more resources. This just seems dumb for Takara to want to make a smaller MP Prime.

Unless it's the Powermaster version and can combine with the trailer, I don't see this flying well with anyone.

Usually, I'm cool with anything they release, but I don't want another Prime for an MP. I've already got MP-04 and that's fine for me.

I was expecting Galvatron or Devastator.

Galvatron actually seemed logical seeing how Rodimus Prime just came out. I would have even been happy with Devastator as unlikely as he would be.

your opinion, robofreak, I respect that.

My sources had indicated to me back in December last year that MP10 is Convoy. It's just a matter of time before the reliability of this information is vindicated.

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as attacking you if I did. So far sources are few on what this actually is so I want to wait until I know what it is for sure.

I kind of went off on a tangent yeah, my rants can get opinionated quite a bit at times.

Still, why another MP Convoy? It just does not make any sense at all. I know Prime sells, but to make the figure smaller and include a traile with a $250 price tag is insane.

Just want to make sure that EVERYONE know the MP-04 was sold with a trailer for $180.

$70 additional better give me something that can top MP-04 and I have a hard time figuring out how they could possibly improve that figure.

Disappointed though glad it isn't a clear version
of something... Did we need a larger THS lol?

MP04 and 01L are dandy for me. I'd be more interested
in a Walmart Thundercracker though (they usually release a
seeker sometime around a new movie? lol).

Definitely would have to see pics before I bite. For
250 (yeesh) he must be mostly if not all die cast?

Positive note if he is smaller then the inevitable Megatron
ver2 will definitely be closer to scale then looking like a
DE which might be worth the new prime alone... (hopefully
mostly die cast too!)

A convoy but something that would piss me and a lot of fandom off....

a lot of G1ers around.

I say Movie Prime with Trailer. Would be a waste as I don't buy the movie stuff... and from all the G1 guesses it would send the most people up in arms.

could see a God Ginrai, or Ultra Magnus but magie isn't a convoy. Oh well we'll just have to see

Patience is an acquired virtue.

I really want to see what this looks like. I've always said that I don't want big overly tall Masterpieces, Grimlock is the perfect height for me and by the sounds of this thing (if all is true) then it would be perfect for my collecting preferences.
I will wait for more concrete info but my MPL1 (still MISB) may well end up going on Ebay to raise cash for this instead.

If they're re-booting the line then fair enough but I just hope Galvatron gets a figure this time as he was the logical choice to follow Rodimus (and my personal most wanted Masterpiece - in his anime colours).


I just hope everyone realises that this means we'll probably be getting another all white "Magnus" and Nemesis Prime as well down the line...... :BANG_HEAD:

There doing a brand new Optimus Prime mold with the Trailer?

considering the one for sale now is peoples "Last Shot" at that particular Prime Mold

But YAY! I won lol :grin: :grin: :grin: :lol: :lol:



Sorry to disappoint you mate but the gold medal goes to me, silver for your good self as the first one to guess who it was correctly was the Jazz man back on page 2, with only one hint and no second chance guesses either!! :KREMZEEK:
Sorry, not trying to be a d***head (think I failed though LOL) but I got it right first. Feeling smug now, though it was a big hint. ;)

Or yet another version of Optimus Prime. Which would be an easy pass for me as they've already done way too many Optimus Prime repaints in this line and a new mold but still Prime would be just such a boring choice. Oh well, interestingly I'm actually quite pissed off now as this seems like it's the most likely choice.

I'm not going to buy it unless it totally trumps THS AND the original MP in EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE.

First thought was something boring like Laser Prime or Power Master Prime or some other version that would be released instead of a character that really needs/deserves a Masterpiece but I'm sold on this idea if they can pull it off.

Another MP Prime? For $250? No thanks. I am perfectly happy with the one I have.

Too bad. From what's being said on this topic, it looks like Takara will have one hell of a shelf warmer.

Just when I got too excited for another G1 Masterpiece... I already got my MP Optimus Prime with the trailer so I'll pass this one.

Come on Takara! If you can make the Seekers, why not make Jetfire, Jazz, Roadbuster, Wheeljack, Devastator, Arcee, Springer, etc.

This seems like such a wasted opportunity, I love how Prime has become the movie Bumblebee of the MP line...Im off to cancel my pre order now.

For that kind of money?
Don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.
Hasbro cannot even get a Windcharger figure released worth a few dollars...

I'm anxious to see what he comes with, other than the trailer. MP Hot Rod/Rodimus will be a hard act to follow. I want to see what they bring to the table.

True. But for me, if it isn't a Laser Prime or Powermaster Prime, I'll pass myself. I have the 1st one from Hasbro (I think), do no need in another one. I do wish Takara would have done something different. And am I reading right? Will this be the last MP?
