I hope BlueStreak and Sunstreaker are the next two to be anno0unced.
Followed by Jazz and Bee'
Followed by Jazz G2 repaint, and Goldbug.
hot damn! I love me more cars!
I wondering what the next 200$ price point fig will be..
Shockwave?
Renewal Megatron?
Blaster?
I wouldnt count on all the Autobots. Volkswagen, Jeep, and Corvette may not be as willing to license their old school cars to Hasbro. Same thing with who ever owns the Wheeljack or Mirage race cars. Maybe Trailbreaker/Hoist since it was a GM vechicle.
I'd worry a lot more about all the sponsors Mirage and Wheeljack have. Ho boy.![]()
Trailbreaker and Hoist are Toyota brand trucks, which falls under the Toyota Motor Corporation, or TMC. TMC currently owns the Toyota, Scion, Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino Motors brands.
If they changed VW's minds for the Lambo rights, then everyone else will fall in line. I'm sure Nissan is happy with the coolness of the Alternity GTR's. My guess is these will be original Z's.
As far as everyone else, they got Binaltech's, and with older models, most companies aren't trying to make money of old designs. I'd say there's a good shot at getting everyone, with only BB, Jazz and CJ being the two biggest pain in the asses
And WTF is Cliffjumper anyways ? In my childhood I always assumed he was a Honda...

I always thought Trailbreaker and Hoist were Ford Broncos. Theres always repro labels for those unwilling sponsors like Alitalia on Wheeljack. But who owns made the car ? Same thing for Mirage ? How about Inferno and Grapple ? We know Volkswagen wont let Bumblebee happen. Did porshe say no in the past ? And WTF is Cliffjumper anyways ? In my childhood I always assumed he was a Honda...

Much difference in the body as Sideswipe vs Sunstreaker.
They will have to retool prowls roof to make a silver/blue streak.
God I wish Sunstreaker would become reality.

If it's Sideswipe sized, I'm not really impressed.

You must have never owned any of these figures, or even picked them up.
The only difference between the Prowl molds and Smokescreen is a spoiler, a modified front end, and no light bar. The internal parts, doors, hood, everything else is EXACTLY the same.
There is not a single part of the figure shared at all between G1 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. They are totally different molds with totally different transformation schemes.

Doesn't matter, it's a new line, it would save them money.
having to remold bumpers and rears, is about as much difference as
Sstreaker would be to SSwipe at this point. I highly doubt Takara will go through the effort of making a whole new mold, just to have it transform like the old brick.

Trail breaker and Hoist are Toyota Hilux
Wheeljack is Lancia Stratos
Mirage roughly based on Ligier JS-11 F1
Inferno and Grapple are Mitsubishi Fuso's
IronHide and Ratchet Nissan onebox Vanette
Jazz Porsche 935 Turbo racer.

They will probably just do the same thing they did with Sideswipe/Red Alert and do a clip-on light bar.

Bowspearer wrote:I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the first MP combiner we got was Devastator. Besides, after we get a V2 Megatron, a V2 Skywarp, conehead seekers and Shockwave, we'll have all the 84/85 Cons. Heck in the next 2 months, we're getting 6 MP Cons.
The Autobots in terms of the 84/85 line though, have been significantly neglected for some time.
