That's a pretty silly thing to say.
How do you figure? When was the last time we had an original Sunstreaker?

That question is basically a red herring. The point of the MP line is to create animation accurate robots with officially licensed vehicle modes (where applicable). What other lines have done in the past doesn't really reflect on what TT is doing with the MP line now.
Like Aggie said, when was the last time since the reboot that TT has given us such a lazy rendition of a character? They haven't yet, and there's no reason to think they will anytime soon.
Besides, if they were going to simply put a new head on the Sideswipe mold, they would have given us Sunstreaker instead of Tigertrack.

That's what got me. TT has yet to do anything to shake my confidence in the MP line. You can't look at the C/G line as a basis for the way they view repaints and retools within the MP line. With Wheeljack and Tracks sharing the same mold, or say Sideswipe and Sunstreaker (which was brilliant in execution) is all well and good for C/G. But they have yet to pull any tricks like that with the MP figures. Hell, even on things they might've gotten away with like the Datsun bro's head sculpts, they didn't cheap out on us.megatronus wrote:....But when folks say they have no confidence in Takara to do certain things....

If Takara comes out with a good gun Megatron I'd still buy it. But right now that doesn't seem all that likely, they seem more likely to release a Tank Megs or Galvatron first. And even that seems a way off.

I totally understand and buy the timing argument. But to say Takara won't get to Sunstreaker because Tigertrack exists, well... I buy that less.

You could say Tigertrack was a no effort cash grab (which is OK since it was still technically "correct"), but their next Diaclone homage (Exhaust) got a new head sculpt and accessories! They're not even cheaping out on Diaclone homages! Also, isn't their next one (BLUEstreak) also going above and beyond? I'm pretty sure its been pointed out that his head is from the Prowl sculpt, while the body is from the Streak sculpt (which is how the OG Diaclone would have looked).
They may not be releasing stuff according to OUR schedule, but they're certainly doing right by us.

It's good for getting up to date news, a ton of my Apollyon updates have come from there, sure you have to sift through a fair bit of "his crotch is too big" or "the Legs look awful!" And now "aghhhhh those dimples, pre-order CANCELED!" But they have had a lot of useful Apollyon updates.
It's also a good place to pick up a bargain or two if you have the patience.
