Ok wasnt goibg to buy him but im sold articulation I fast foward past part see one master piece figure aticluate see them all move same some with out waist movement that is only differnce,

Maybe 3rd party will make trailer hitch for prime and magnus to pull each other trailers, and prime face plater to have his prime mouth without armor, really like how truck detaches from trailer, maybe someone will come up with some extra pieces get rid of red bumper, and have bakc flap fold up more in bot mode

Mp unicon rumor more likely to get city bot over unicron metroplex, scorponock, fortress maximuss over unicron unicron be expensive complex pieces to transfom xity bots little less complex but both be 500.00 or more maybe if they make either one unicron or city bots

After Magnus? Exhaust first and then finally Star Saber.

yeah thanks for that insight. I meant what are the future releases gonna be... there's the ark contingent which has a couple of candidates left but they also seem to be going off on tangents like magnus... in the video review, ben mentions an mp unicron rumour... I wouldn't care much for that for example, would rather have the smaller figures continue...

I agree that there's more I'd like to see before Unicron, but aren't we still on the 2 lg / 4 small MPs per year?
With Star Saber and Exhaust already in the pipe for 2015, we still have 1 lg and 3 small to go. I wouldn't be surprised if Megatron is one of them, with all the chatter about him recently... Has anyone heard any more of the rumors of Ironhide and Ratchet coming next, or was that just someone's wishful thinking?

Was kind of bummed the articulation isn't as good as Stack's... but everything else about him seems so solid. Loving the 'lead foot' diecast.

Wish there was waist articulation

Its sucha great figure... The price point it's amazing! I can't believe that you can buy this much toy for that little money, it truly is a Xmas gift, thank you takara, i am waiting for my TWO!

I've always enjoyed all versions of the MP-1 mold, in fact it is my favorite mold now and forever, including MP-2... I had put away MP-1 in favor of MP-10 to stand next to my MP-2, ultra magnus, and it scales rather well, all of the metal of that mold makes it feel like ultra magnus, but cannot quite get over the fact that it is just a "white painted optimus" and it doesn't matter how many times i tell my friends, they always forget...

But now, after years of waiting, it is finally here and done right, it brings tears to my eyes!

wow this looks really good with the G1 toys in alt mode.. G1 Alt modes are always the most accurate

News Credits: 22 · Wed Dec 24, 2014 10:08 am

I'm actually seriously thinking about getting this. I was gonna pass, but I have MPs Hot Rod, Rodimus Prime, Optimus Prime, Grimlock, and Bumblebee. Magnus would go towards the movie cast.

tough choice... how long before you can afford the second choice? UM has a lot hype, but the MP10 reissue hasnt "flown" off the shelves like i thought it would.

Promotional stop-motion video from Takara:

News Credits: 668 · Fri Dec 26, 2014 4:42 am

Seibertron.com board member Cyberpath linked us to the TakaraTomy YouTube channel which features a stop-motion animated video of MP-22 Ultra Magnus! It shares the complex transformation, plus the features of it and how it can interact with the other cars, as well as a quickie Optimus scale comparison. The very recently released Bumble is sharing the limelight with newcomer Magnus, as well as the car molds that came before them. Prowl to Wheeljack, along with Sideswipe and every use of the Datsun mold in between! TakaraTomy takes us back to a time of amazing stop motion videos with this new entry on their channel and it's an amazing sales pitch to get you to buy all the figures!

You can see the roughly 2.5 minute video by clicking the embed below:

time for a stop motion mp series

not enough decepticons but that was always a prob even in g1 (always thought the decepticons' air superiority and strength made up for the lack of numbers)
