Teriffic!!!

Grimlock I look forward to, I'm hoping for something very outside of the box transformation wise and hopefuly a return to a more solid body type for the MP line, as well as die-cast.

As for ThunderCracker, we all knew he was coming eventualy, and everyone with SkyWarp and G1 Starscream has been feinding him so it's nice to see an obvious dicision for a change!

Still with the release of ThunderCracker I can't help but wonder 2 things...

1- How long till a coronation gear redeco

2- How many Grey Screamers are going to be posted on ebay asap upon confirmation of a release date

So I guess this has been elevated to a very possibly true rumor (until the official announcement). My hopes are up! Although old Starscream has been my stand-in Thundercracker, I look forward to seeing that 'toon accurate blue Thundercracker.

MP Grimlock is a must own sight unseen.

Yea I hope it is going to be the Cartoon blue and nothing similar to MP Starscream, I need them to be able to be told apart. This is good news for both figures!

They kept up waiting about Grim ever since that sihlouette teaser, but it's got to be worth it. I'm wondering the scale, hopefully bigger than the MP seekers.

I could care less about TC though, since I'd love to custom my own sometime in the future.

I think most of us have Grey Screamer standing in for ThunderCracker fight now. I may sell mine when I get all 3 or I may possition him in alt mode with the others surrounding him when ThunderCracker arrives.

As for Grimlock, yeah, I'm making the mistake of getting my hopes up, but if its another MP Megatron with cheap plasitic and hazardious limbs, I'm gonna skip on him like a game of hop scotch (:|

It's finally official!

Wooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is true and well done I'll buy 2 - one for alt mode and one for bot mode.

If this true and it's a bit rubbish I'll buy 1 and keep it in the box.

If this isn't true I'll have a bit of a cry.

Excelent, I can't wait to pre-order both

. I was hoping for Thundercracker to join Starscream and Skywarp, and at last it was announced =P~

. I'm anxious to see pictures for MP Grimlock.

I hope your source is right,a Masterpiece BB would be awesome providing Takara/Tomy didn't abandon the G1 theme and make it the Bayformer version of the character.
As for Grimlock being confirmed....BRING ON THE PICS!!!!!!!!!
If I only get one Masterpiece figure it'll be this one

Comment by Sowndwave76 Apr 27, 2008

Looks like I'll be getting my first MP, and maybe 2!!!!

Grimlock has been my favorite Autobot character forever, and Thundercracker is my favorite Seeker.

Bumblebee? :shock:

Oh man, I wish they do our friend Bumblebee, he deserves a good MP treatment! I'd also love to see Ironhide and Ratchet. Can you imagine a MP Ironhide show accurate in both modes? =P~

And they can use the mold twice by doing also Ratchet :grin:

I have to disagree in a way there...a Masterpiece '08 Movie Bumblebee would be VERY cool since there really is not a truly movie accurate version. They could include the slide down mask, concealed rocket launchers, concealed arm blaster, and a squirt gun crotch! :o)
