Seems to me Soundwave doesnt lend himself well to the MP treatment. His transformation is VERY simple which means you either have a MP with a very basic transformation or one with an overly complicated one just for the sake of being difficult.
Looking for the Megatron gun (or just the stock) that came with 20th anniversary MP Optimus Prime.

We wont see an MP soundwave, his alt mode is too useless.

We should see an MP Hot rod, Mp thundercracker, MP Galvatron and an MP Bumblebee. Thats what i want wanyway.

And maybe even more...


That should keep Hasbro-Takara busy for sometime.

And it would make a lot of people happy.
Well, me at least. ;)
Currently looking for:
- the projectile for Cybertron Supreme Class Starscream's arm cannon
- a gun barrel for Classics Jetfire's (the little black thingy that plugs onto the front of his swing-out shoulder cannons)
- the rotor for Micromaster Tracer (from the Military Patrol)

If you have one of the above and want to part with it, please PM me!

I really do hope that it is a new mold. If TakTomy wants to continue to rerelease the same 3 molds over and over, I'd almost prefer that they just end the line.

Ok, I am totally a believer now!!!

I checked with 6 of my sources and they all say the same thing...

MP-07 will be US Starscream, and MP-08 Will be the Vs 2 pack Prime and Megatron!! I'm wondering if that MP starscream will be in US Style Packaging?? personally i hope all the extras are in the 2-pack, I. E. Trailer.. I'd save 500 Bucks to buy that packaged deal!!! Oh and if US starscream is in the Takara MP boxes, I'm totally buying those as well, they will fit my MIB/MISB Collection better..

Takara milking the fans.


They can milk us later ... new mold 1st please.

With Walscream out now ... totaling 3 Seekers, and 3 Prime molds. Logic will only tell us that we are getting 2 more Megatrons, possibly a repaint to Galvy before moving on. (unlikely, but wouldn't surprise me one bit)

Well, there's always Thundercracker ... maybe 4 of each? Nemesis Prime?

Dirge? Thrust?? Ramjet????? ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGH!

If I can milk it like this right off the top of my head ... just imagine a Hasbro executive sitting at his/her desk, scratching his/her chin about how to maximize the profit margin on the MP line.

What are the six sources and who are their sources. It happens from time to time, that they are getting the news from each other and not different outleds. I can easily believe that all of the six sources just quoted from that one Chinese page (which doesn't make the news entirely unreliable, but the same news from six different sources would be better).

What other take at Megatron? What's wrong (like really wrong, not just complaints about plastic theses or the 'rust' on the feet) with the existent one?

2 of my reliable sources live in Japan, and frequent a message board over there, their information is pretty accurate, my Hasbro source has no comment on the rumors from ACTOYS website he still says the MP-07 will be a Decepticon and he MP-08 is an Autobot..take that for what it's worth.., however, another of my sources works for HLJ and has insider info from his sources in the toy acquisition departments of wholesale distributors for Takara, ect.. Still another source I have is a friend of mine from back in the day when i used to live in Guam, he lives in HK and has a brother who works at a factory owned by takara.. he e-mails me all the time on cool stuff coming out.

I am especially excited about the re-release of the Takara Batman Begins figure!! :grin:

but like i SAID the main sources all say the same, that the rumors are accurate.. it remains to beseen if my buddy at Hasbro is correct and everyone else is in the wrong.. :-?

Personally i dont see the point in an MP "two pack", since these are elitist collectors pieces, why would they release a two-pack? Those kinds of deals only work on the more popular lines and figures, and only work if the figures arent that expensive to being with. An MP two pack would be utterly pointless and a total financial disaster.

I think the rumored autobot and decepticon MP figures that will be next will be new molds. The two pack idea is just stupid.

If we really do get a two pack the only thing that will make me pause is the pricepoint for the Optimus & Megs pack. If it's ridiculous I won't even bat an eyelash.

Here's hoping for a Yamato Masterpiece Jetfire. Not likely since diehards have already bought the Yammies and modded them already. But still Takara needs to do a Masterpiece Jetfire.
WANTS:
- Studio 86 Grimlock, Sludge and Slag.
- 2016 Titans Return Powermaster Prime.
- 2011 WFC Darkside Optimus Prime Takara Japan Tokyo Toy Show exclusive.
- 2008 Classics Takara Tomy Henkei Convoy (C01).
- 2008 Crystal Convoy - Tokyo Toy Show exclusive.
- 2001 RID Super Mach Alert.
PM with pics & prices. Thanks.

I agree, a 2-pk would be too expensive.

Hopefully they will give us a "car" vehicle figure soon. Sideswipe, Wheeljack, even Hot Rod; just something original.

I'm slightly encouraged about the US Starscream, since I missed the Walmart one, but too many repaints are troublesome. You won't know what to wait for and what to grab when it first comes out.

I still think the MP Hotrod is the best bet. Remember how awesome classics hot rod was? Now imagine that in MP form....wow

I agree I'd love to see that, but if the 2-pack is rumored to sell for around 300 dollars US, then I'd buy that, remember the prime complete was only 150.00 starting, its the online retailers and evilbay that drove the price up to 300.00 and beyond, this 2-Pack would drop the Prime complete versions prices down and would be an ultimate collectors piece for those who missed out on either of them, or the trailer version for that matter, as I did with the MP-01.. I can't justify 300 for a Prime in trailer combo, but for a prime, Trailer, and Megatron combo at 350.00 retail I'd sure as hell buy that!!

What about those of us who already have prime and megs? Although id love a non-battle scarred mp prime with a trailer, it seems like an awful waste of an opportunity to just release a two pack. We need NEW MOLDS! I love the MP line, but it seriously lacks diversity and quantity.

well think of this way, more milking, means more money to develope more and better MP molds, for newer characters.. besides they did a 2-Pack for Beast wars reborn, so now I need that to go with my Masterpieces, it's an MIB thang!! :grin:

So Takara/Hasbro has to sell more spin-off versions of existing Masterpieces in order to fund development of new moulds for the line? And they're going to do this by packaging together 2 figures, at least 1 of which most adult collectors would already have, for $300 a pop??

Uh, if that's the case, then I don't think we'll ever see a new Masterpiece.....
