Ha! Maybe. But I'm still waiting on a few more. Like Diablue, Ultra Whitemus, Dead (Sleep Mode), Movie Battle Damage, G2, or hell even a MP10+.

You just never know, but I bet they're far from done with him.

A G2 version would be great as long as they do the missile launcher and battery pack. What I really want is a Fire Guts Ginrai version.

They should probably make a MP Super Ginrai first, since a Fire Guts version of this mold would instead be just "Fire Guts Convoy" instead.

They had the mold out for the MP-10 re-re-re-re-release or whatever, so SG and Gray BAPE have happened. I'd wager 10+ happens if 14+ had decent sales, which we'll probably never know of for certain unless they were good enough for them to brag about. Outside of that, I can maybe see a Magnus cab, but I think it gets retired sooner rather than later and they move on to MP Optimus 3.0. You know it's gonna happen one day, just look at how many MGs Bandai has done of the RX-78 and other lead suits. Flagship characters just get upgrades every so often, needed or not.

Most of the major venues have already been exhausted, and a white one would be obsolete with MP Ultra Magnus. Hell, with MP Delta Magnus, even a Diaclone blue one would be... less than ideal. Unless we're going the Magna Convoy route...

How... on earth.. does MP Magnus and Powered Convoy make those MP10 Variants obsolete? The cabs that come with those figures are empty husks, only worth a damn for the alt modes. If they made them I bet people would proudly pose them beside their respective powered counterparts. Like so:

I could see them skipping such a release on the account of them being basically substitute Ultra Magnuses (or whatever the plural is), until the fully armored toys were released. I'm looking at you too, Generations. What would you rather have: an "incomplete" homage to a (negligible) feature that was never shown, or the whole package as shown on TV?
