I love the licensed vehicles, but I could really go for an every other new mold release being a licensed vehicle and a fictional vehicle.
Extra Options? That'd be my guess. What they are I couldn't say, but I hope it's a head or two!Emerje wrote:Nobody is going to mention that 15,000jpy base price tag on the Sunstreaker repaint? Regular Streaker had a 12,000jpy base price so what are they including that's worth 3,000jpy?

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

So, not sure why this occurred to me, but I looked up the definition of "cordon". I thought maybe it was just a name, but....
cor·don
ˈkôrdn/Submit
noun
1.
a line or circle of police, soldiers, or guards preventing access to or from an area or building.
"troops threw a cordon around the headquarters"
synonyms: barrier, line, row, chain, ring, circle; picket line
"a cordon of 500 police"
Not a word I use regularly, but now that I see it, SURE! I've heard that used in the appropriate context plenty of times.
My point? Solid clue pointing to it being the police type and not the red Diaclone.
Just thought I'd share.

Personally, I think that’s a great thing. The 07 movie designs are the most influential and I’m really eager to see what’s coming on the heels of Barricade and Ironhide

Rejoice over what? This is just repaint news. It doesn't count. I want to know what the next original mold will be.
Those characters are funding a stagnant third party market while Hasbro and Takara look the other way. I would love to see some of these happen though, especially in the instances where the unofficial options aren't very good.Seibertron wrote:Blaster should 100% have a unique alt-mode.

In the MP-42 Cordon thread Cobotron literally JUST wrote:AWE YEAH!
That is AWESOME!!!!! I knew my patience would pay off. It has really been working for me and what I'm after to just wait and simmer on Masterpiece figures. I've handled Sunstreaker and he is beautiful. Glad I can have the mold more inline to my likings.
