That's a shame but, didn't we hear almost a year ago that there were plans for a blue Bluestreak?

The fruit born by those rumors turned out to be Silverstreak.

I heard after that reveal there was still plans to do blue, Bluestreak.

I think those might have still been rumors at the time, but that isn't to say that the rumors may never come true. But as of now, it's still in the rumormill.

The way Takara's been clustering their redecos, I imagine they'd want to wait awhile until the novelty/saturation of the Lamborghini/Datsun MP molds wear off before issuing additional decos.

Give it a couple years, and I can see a blue Bluestreak exclusive/reissue-type release in the works.

Not even that, all that happened was they announced a special Bluestreak repaint and everyone jumped to conclusions and then went mad when they reveled it was silver. The only thing that points towards a blue Bluestreak are those who read the name, and somehow completely ignore that the name is due to his personality and that the character was never actually blue to begin with (save for that one Binaltech that proved you could sell an inferior Alt Smokescreen to the right people, and the recent Quoro Q thing).

[chuckdawg1999]

What if the inevitable TRU exclusive, is blue? Dun, dun, duuuuuun!

[guarayakha]

Well flip-floppity me!
It's real you guys!
MP-18B, and it's limited.

Pass the mustard, we'll share your hat. That figure really looks good.

No need for me to do the custom job...but I was wrong about the head. They went with the straight Prowl Head/Face. I imagine retailers will pre-order the hell out of these and jack up the price...but I will get one. I could see getting two to change MP-19 into a straight Diaclone deco (which I prefer over the show version).

The one above was a custom. Why are you guys eating hats?

EDIT: The blues are way off, so no Diaclone MP-19, which will be way less expensive.

[Dead Metal]

I like metallic red, could be have a red Bluestreak as well? Or maybe a Black and Gold one as well?

[megatronus]

Preorder's up on BBTS for MP18B!

Which doesn't make much sense, since it looks like a Prowl redeco, but hey, let's throw numbering conventions to the wind, shall we!

I'm waiting for TFSource (because I have hundreds in credit), or I may try HLJ just so I can say I did it. People were getting their Exhuasts pretty quickly and I was impressed with that.

Of course, with the number being limited to 2000, I suppose I might want to move a bit quicker on the pre-ordering. If the others don't have it up in a day or two I'll just BBTS one. Or two.

[megatronus]

BBTS is normally plan B - if HLJ posts a preorder, I'll try to go through them, but for the time being I want to make sure I can get it somewhere. I can always cancel the preorder later.

Indeed. I initially ordered Ultra Magnus through them but switched to TFsource because free shipping is free shipping. I just don't like to cancel things if I don't have to. In a way, I feel like I should probably give BBTS the business, but I want to experience different stores processes and then there's the no money out of pocket thing with TFSource.

I kind of don't recommend pre-ordering from hlj. Why? They seem to be always unable to fulfill them.

[Sabrblade]

Looks like it's made of more Prowl-specific parts than Streak-specific parts.

Sounds like they pulled another Tigertrack

For now, I went ahead and pre-ordered from BBTS, just to be sure I can get one, period.

Now, how I'm going to display him when I get him is a whole different issue.

We have it on good authority that these may be proven to be correct, at the time being.

including a tank megatron?

Where did that come from, anyway? The news post just talks about Tracks, Road Rage, and Ironhide.

It came from the same source that has Burt Reynolds in Star Wars VII

If Burt Reynolds is in Star Wars 7, I will make a point to miss that movie!

never liked Burt Reynolds. Have yet to see a movie or show, That I think he didn't ruin. With his 1970's hippie laid back personality.

Not rumors, Just my wishing.

Wishing for the 2016 year. That Both Hasbro and Takara celebrate the Transformers 1986 movie Thirtieth Anniversary. By giving fans some Masterpiece Transformers toys that appeared in the 1986 movie.

From Hasbro in 2016. I'd like to see Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. Masterpiece Rodimus Prime with the trailer and in Movie colors. Masterpiece Ghost Starscream with kings gear.

From Takara in 2016. I'd like to see a brand new Masterpiece toy done for G1 Galvatron.

Since 2016 will also be the Beast Wars Twentieth Anniversary. Would like to see Takara also make a Beast Wars Masterpiece Voyager toy for Tigatron. That can get repurposed for Cheetor and Shadow Panther.

I think we'd all love to see an MP Galvatron, especially if accompanied by Cyclonus and Scourge.

As far Beast Wars... I'd be much happier to see more Generations updates. MP should stay as G1 as possible for as long as possible, in my opinion.

You're kinda right. Never thought I'd say that i *don't* need an MP of anything, but the Generations BW figures have been getting knocked outta the park. I can wait a loooong while for MP's to migrate away from G1.

But gimme a new Dinobot already!

You want your Dinobot fix? I read from a schmuck somewhere in the web that he supposedly seen blue prints of other MP- Dinobots in the works. Only that Tomy is taking its time and for us not to buy anymore 3rd party Dinobots.

Veracity of the source? Well the source I mentioned said something that a previous rumored re-release of various MPs (Lambor, Red Alert and SS) were fake and that only accurate part of the report was for MP-10 release which i meant for Taiwan.

Btw, I already raised that issue in the other thread and no one seems to have confirmed or deny that allegation.

Again, this IS a rumor thread and hopefully, the Dinobots do get the MP treatment.

He meant Beast Wars Dinobot.
