I think there are still some 3rd party trailers available through some of the online retailers.

well the first hasbro release had the black gun glad i got it when i did
dont understand why they decided to change his gun color to grey add in some blue (why blue)
Being how Takara Tommy has always made efforts to make the toys color accurate as possible
and give us a gun in the wrong color is confusing

They probaly made the guns in one run, so have a surplus, they new they were gonna re run this mold, so wasn't much effort to make more than needed of the accessories, if they decided against re-issuing then now much lost. Setting up the poduction of the accessories probaly costs alot so would be worth while. Also there is no black plastic in the convoy figure so it could be a cost saving, especialy if the gun parts are made during the same injection process as the the other grey parts as the leg. But in saying all that, they seem to waist money on other lame accessories that people don't care much for, or maybe that is so they can justify bumping up the price. Just a thought

Somebody needs to hurry up and get the thing, translate whatever the voice chip reveals, and tell us who the next masterpiece will be. (Shockwave or Soundwave, fingers crossed)

I will not be getting it though. If there is any form of Masterpiece Prime I will be getting it will be MP-04 so I can get Prime and his trailer.

I like that pose of him with Megatron though, looks good.

Took a gamble and ended up getting the MP-01L. Surprisingly, I find the build quality better than the MP-01 and I'm liking the the chrome paint job on the specified parts.

That's good to know. Thanks for sharing.
