Not just that, but maybe sticky the Fortress Maximus gallery for a bit? Only fitting, especially considering the possibility of e-Hobby releasing Grand (once they find the mold for the Pretender shell that is)

I can't contemplate the price for n eHobby one....

Mrs. S would have kittens....

At least it's not April 1st

Huge Transformers News....?

Hmmm large sum of money on an obselete giant brick or awesome 3rd party homage, now thats a difficult decision!
For that price they need to articulated him into some sort of super Transformer!

Regarding the Masterpiece Evil Cassettes, do we know their sizing yet? Could I be right in saying they will be around the same size as the KO Oversized Cassettes that turn up every now and then?

Keen to keep picking up more Generations figures when ever we finally get them over here in the United Kingdom, Foc and Prime too!

Even though the shipping costs (and eventual customs costs) to Europe are through the roof, Encore FM is pre-ordered!!! Still going to end up cheaper for me than Brave Maximus was

Considering MP Soundwave was shown at a show holding a regular G1 mini-casette, I'm guessing the MP-15 cassettes will actually be around that size, so... pretty small (but much more intricate!).

This is the one Transformer I would have never guessed they'd reissue! Great news. I have no regrets about buying the original 2 years back but I will def. buy this one too.

Here's hoping they also reissue Grand Max! I really hope this is not some fake April fools joke. I would be Max'd out!

I take it you're not a G1 fan. Or at least not a Geewunner...

Expect ebay to have a crash in the price for Fort Max

Anyway, this is a good thing for collectors who have been waiting all these years Already own the USA version which, sadly lacks his "Master swords", so all I need are the reproduction swords to make him complete.

I hope to be able to score the MP cassettes, and no, the price justifies the intricate engineering that went into it.

To quote a line in a classic anime film " If there is a god, there must be a devil.........if there is a chojin........there must be an evil king/kyo....."

So, if Fortmax is coming, then SCORPONOK could be following next?

I'd donate mine if they want to reverse engineer it and can assure me that they would be able to get it back to me in one piece.

No. I've wanted this since I was three years old.

This. He's within reach, but doesn't make me want him any less.

Preordered him and the MP-15 set. Good LORD this is a glorious day!

Oooh I must have missed that one, but interesting to know. Would you happen to have a size comparison of Soundwave against someone we all know and own?

If the MP Cassettes are coming out at the same size as the original G1 Cassettes, they make for a very small Masterpiece again!

Maybe its just me, but I kinda liked Masterpiece when they where bigger and bolder than everything else, not just a highly detailed Voyager!

MP SW may more or less be the size of G1 Blaster (with his legs fully extended)

Already have him from my Childhood, but the option of keeping one MISB is too much to handle. Preordered. I too am eagerly awaiting a Scorponok, Black Zarak (with corrected plastic) and Grand Maximus coming out soon.

I guess nobody gonna talk about that Meg, I wonder how different it he from the original? Maybe with his Dark energon sword? I somehow wished that maybe he could be the same size as AM-21 but looking at the Voyager pricing, I don't think so.

Unless something has changed since we last saw the prototype MP cassettes, they are the same size as the G1 cassettes since those too can also fit into MP Soundwave's.

Even with greater articulation and little features, I don't see that being worth $30.00 a pop for a figure that's still not going to be any taller than 3-4".

Darkest Megatron? As much chrome as you put on it, it's still a pass, I'm happy with my PRID one. Jet vehicon General? Probably a Jet vehicon in dark colours (Ala regular Car Vehicon colours). If so, I'm on, never got the Jet vehicon.

Can you explain what you mean? I have AM Vehicon and AM Jet Vehicon, and they're both black. Vehicon has a blue bot body and Jet Vehicon has a purple bot body, but the vehicles are the same color.

So MP-15 is actually Ravage and Rumble?


Dunno about other UM speculators, but I'm feeling pretty stupid right now...

I'M IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

I'm all for Fort Max but I don't have the space or the cash for one.
The JVG has my attention though.

I love the cartoons and owned loads of G1 original toys back when I was a young 'un but they all went to a car boot sale way back in the Middle Ages!!!!

Im more of a moderist these days , loving the Classics!
Anything pre-Universe can bite my shiny metal ass!!

This release will obviously be welcomed for the hardcore G1 folk which is cool

we need a new mold for fort max that is just as big

He means the 'bot mode. the AM JV is a bright metallic pink as opposed to the purple of AM V, and why you're refering to said pink as purple is.....*facepalm*

He's basically wants the JVG to have a purple robot mode instead of a pink one. And the pink really is weird when the JV's are purple on screen.

You put G1 Fort Max ahead of G1 Jetfire? No matter how much of a chance other G1 toys have of getting reissues, that one will never EVER get an official reissue.

I wonder if the Fort Max will have a similar box to the original, with the foam insert and the design art on the outside.

Wow, Fort Max, really? That's quite a shock. Cool for those that want it!

So MP-15 is Ravage & Rumble. Okay... why the Prime silhouette in the teaser then? Lame, Takara, lame. Not that I'm complaining they're getting released, I just figured they wouldn't be the next numbered release.

Remember the MP15 picture was not from Takara, but from 4chan.
So unless it's an official tease, we should be ashamed for getting so excited.

PO'd MP15, still thinking about Fort Max.

Of course G1 Jetfire would never get a reissue, he was never a diaclone figure to begin with, just a repaint of a Macross figure, and there's plenty of those out there.
