From the wild world of 4chan we have our first hint at the identity of MP-15. Based on the silhouette it will be a repaint of MP-10 Convoy 2.0. Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime perhaps? Check out the teaser below and let the speculation begin!

This better be a Ultra Magnus with a proper City Commander upgrade Armor.

If it has a new trailer that gives the mold a True Ultra Magnus look would that at least be considered a new mold although a trailer only?

Agreed

FINALLY a accurate G1 Huffer!!! Looks like they really are doing masterpieces for all the 84 transformers!

But I'm crossing my fingers for a Pipes repaint!

If this is Ultra Magnus, I'm REALLY hoping he comes with the proper trailer/armor and isn't just a "white Prime" straight repaint. If they come out with a proper Magnus, I will be happier than a pig in mud! This will be the last of my "I want without question" figures :grin:

I got Grimlock, Soundwave is coming, and Magnus rounds out my top 3 favorite characters. Please oh please oh please let it be him with accurate trailer/armor!!

I find this oddly amusing. MPs of Huffer and Pipes, that is, which I really would consider getting.

As it stands though....

I will go only with new molds this time TAKARA.
No more expensive repaints!!
I'm waiting for megatron v2.0 and galvatron.
Or whatever other than optimus or starscream repaints

Well the only way that I will buy this guy is, Ultra Magnus whit armor/trailer. Otherwise forget it.

UM with trailer: I don't wait and buy the uber-expensive Takara version. :grin:

UM, no trailer: Buy the Hasbro version. >:oP

Nemesis Prime: I CAN'T DEAL WITH THAT RIGHT NOW. :BOOM:

If this is Ultra Magnus, they KNOW they can't pull off another white repaint and let it sell. It's gotta have a new trailer.

I'd be more apt to believe in a Nemesis Prime.

Would buy Nemesisisisis Prime. Would buy white Prime with Magnus armor/trailer. Would not buy white Prime.

SG? Please Takara/Hasbro? :BOWDOWN:

by **DesertKing** » Wed Sep 26, 2012 2:52 pm

Hey.... that doesn't look like Galvatron.......... :sad:

Right, just a crazy theory!!

I reckon it's Ginrai!

You see, the visible text there is 神秘的なシルエ -

Shinpitekina Shirue - I think the missing part is tto, making it Mysterious Silhouette- but that's not the point.

The first character can be read as Jin, 神. As in 超神; CHOUJIN!

Choujin Masterforce!

I think the word itself has been left as a clue! It wouldn't be the most cryptic clue ever used... Remember the Rodimus reveal?

Well, that's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

How come there is no yawning icon? Anyway, I will use this quote.

Mykltron wrote:Do. Not. Care.

Well, this is Takara we are talking about. We all expect there will be repaint coming up, right?

How about Black Convoy?

Me, I don't need a Black Convoy...maybe Nemesis Prime, but no to Black Convoy.

A forearm repainted MP-10 isn't gonna get many buyers.
Sorry, but it's either gonna be Magnus, Nemesis or Shattered Glass.

But here's a slightly more reasonable theory. A grey repaint to homage his dead body in the Movie or a translucent ghostly version

If it's Ultra Magnus without car carrier trailer/armor....

-coughs to cue in 3rd Party companies-

I figured it went without saying that it'd include a trailer of some kind, for the "Super Ginrai" or Powermaster mode; the opinion of Magnus with trailer is a popular one, Ginrai's would be no more complicated.

As for your suggestion... We must remember that it is unlikely they'll release the robot alone, so any colour change or theme would apply to his packed-in trailer as well. It's grey already, and a ghost trailer would be a funny thing to see!

If we're sticking to reasonable repaint theories, then I'd say G2. No new tooling is required, and it's different enough that people may bite.

Hmm, I know this theory has been tossed around about alternating Bots & Cons...

10 - Prime
11 - Starscream
12 - Sideswipe
13 - Soundwave
14 - Red Alert
15 - ???

Which if that's true, I'm guessing we're looking at Nemesis Prime. Unless they really piss people off and do Motormaster (because since it's the MP-10 mold, there goes hope of him in a Combiner).

But I still really want to hold out hope for Ultra Magnus with a proper trailer/armor. :grin:
