A post from the Cybergeeks Alliance Facebook page has made us do some digging, and it appears as though there may some foundation to the following rumour. Chinese website TaoBao has added some listings for upcoming Takara Tomy Masterpiece figures, including MP-25 Tracks, MP-26 Red Tracks (Roadrage) and MP-27 Ironhide! Check out the placeholders by clicking on the mirrored images below, and start preparing your speculation filters and wallets.

Shouldn't Tracks be MP25B or save him for a later MP release like after Ironhide. Instead of having two Tracks in a row.

My body is so ready for Ironhide. If these rumours are true of course.

Red Tracks or Roadrage? I hope they can feminize the mold for her.

I would love some MPs of Ironhide and Tracks!

Maybe for the first time ever we will get a good Ironhide and Ratchet. I've been waiting thirty years for this news. Also tracks is a great decision. Must be easier to get the licensing for him than Jazz.

Also, why the long wait for any of the coneheads?

I'm quite happy with my 3rd party Ironhide, but I will be more than happy to pick up the eventual Masterpiece Ratchet!

i hope these rumors turn out to be true

if they're continuing on the path of MP levels that they've done in recent years, these will be awesome

This is good news all around. Can't wait to see how they pull off the flying mode. Wonder who's designing this round?

by **wilcosu35** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 12:37 pm

tracks has been confirmed by a dutch shop (and, unofficially, ironhide and megatron)

Thought MP-25 was suppose to be Megatron? :???:

Guess it means the rumor was debunked as false or it will come much later than sooner,like Eight plus months later.

MP Tracks is great news, As It's a great character and design that will transfer nicely into a MP toy.

MP Ironhide and his mold mate Ratchet,I'm a bit worried about. As HasTak has tried and failed countless times before to create decent update toys for these characters. Will the bigger MP toy size help?

Does that mean Masterpiece Raoul as well? And maybe a Blaster in boombox form?

Love the idea of Tracks and Ironhide.

by **Dead Metal** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 1:40 pm

Cool

Saddened that there still aren't any Decepticons, but also glad that that means I only need two figures this year

Nice! With Ironhide on board, and the inevitable Ratchet, we'll have most of the major Autobots who died in the 86 Movie.

Just need Brawn & Windcharger...

Who'd have thought Road Rage would be the first female Masterpiece?

I'm surprised all the purists aren't flipping out over her having her own number, but it makes sense..[quote="JelZe GoldRabbit"] So there's the retool that justifies the new number.

I couldn't care less about Tracks and Road Rage, but Ironhide? Hell yes. And hopefully that means MP-28 is Ratchet.

[quote="megatronus"]Though MP12G has the new face (and all new accessories, though those don't seem to count much in terms of assigning new numbers), and he didn't get a new number. But perhaps he's the exception that proves the rule? Or maybe it was because he was still explicitly a Sideswipe of some kind?

Im surprised by the welcome these rumours are getting considering its only a listing on the Chinese website equivelant of Ebay without any confirmed evidence.

I found this on Weibo via a very reliable source....

I'll take a Tracks (love that car mode) and an Ironhide. It's gotta beat the Classics deluxe version!

I'd rather have some Insecticons though.
