So if Hot Rod is coming down the line, and Arcee might be MP-29, is it possible that finally Springer will be MP-30?

If there's any pattern to this at all, it looks like they're avoiding combiners and the larger scale 85 lineup like Inferno and Grapple at the moment and just going for the standard size cars. If this is true, I'd say no to a triple changer like Springer yet but maybe a Kup or Blurr. Having said that, they'll probably release Omega Supreme next just to show there's no rhyme or reason to the release schedule anymore.

Thing is, guys, Takara does MP reveals via things like magazines and toy shows. This image is too plain to be from a magazine.

And if fully physical prototypes of Shockwave and Hot Rod don't have ID numbers yet, why would an unproduced black silhouette already have one?

And more importantly, why would a picture of Arcee bear Hound's name instead of Arcee's name?

We've updated the news post to reflect the information Sabrblade pointed out. Probably safe to assume this is a hoax, but leaving it up because speculation is fun!

Agreed. And we've only known about Shockwave for less than 24 hrs. I, for one, haven't fully mentally digested that yet. Screw this rumor. Shockwave is real.

Aww. I was really hoping this might be true, too.

Goddamnit Takara, get your badckside in gear and give us MP Arcee!

Just cause the image is a bad Photoshop job doesn't mean it's not happening either right?
It's definitely not proof of anything, but when I see something like this I always just thought someone working at the factory found something out and just quickly put an image together. We shall see I guess.

If this came from anywhere but 4chan, I'd probably be in agreement with you on that :lol:

My gut feeling about arcee being mp -29 says that this is false.
We already have Shockwave or hotrod potentially taking that spot.mp -29 being a release not far off of ironhide would have been revealed.
Mp -28 Shockwave,mp -29 hotrod or vice versa.

One possible character to get release before them would be ratchet. Him being a straight retool/repaint of ironhide. Potentially Taking the mp -28 spot. But we will see lol.

Maybe its because they already have a bunch of lambos already that they dont want to go back and make another lambo mold just yet? Just like they havent made the coneheads. They would rather do all the redecos possible before moving on to the next step for both those alt modes.

Yeah, it's the obvious-photoshop element combined with the 4chan element that lead to discredit this.

Not saying it won't ever happen, but that the chances of it happening soon based on this likely fake images are about as likely as an MP Wheelie happening based my posting the following pic:

I feel like we've done this kind of fun once before, but it's still hilarious to me so I shall contribute the following:

Why would we even need a MP Arcee when the Generations Arcee is so perfect.

It could be done a little better. The hands aren't great, and the scale is off from MP

And the large backpack of altmode kibble is much bigger than it was in her character model.

I would love an Arcee that fits in with my MP's but if the rumour does turn out to be false, I'll be happy enough with my classics Arcee.

How dare you suggest Roddy jerks off to robots? What the hell is the matter with you? It's just rude and insulting.

He jerks off to cyborg porn. Totally different things.

People who jerk off on mechanical beings seriously need to get fetishes right. :-P

Bioplogically, the sight of exposed human skin and their pudenda will elicit a programmed genetic response. But a normallly screwed on head would see the image as just that, a mechanical representation of what looks like the opposite gender.

To even suggest the act of jerking off, putting something sexual really goes miles in displaying how screwed up your psyche is.

On the main topic:

Ever wonder guys that there's still no word from the Artstorm fembets Elita-1 and Arcee? It's been over a year and all we got were A-3, Optimus and Grimlock. Maybe that's the basis of the rumor.
