Seibertronian koolkollectibleskhai has come across a most intriguing image. We all know the troubled story of MP-23 Exhausts release, and while he was not cancelled unfortunately his Collector Coin never saw the light of day. Until now it seems! Some had surmised the coin had already been produced but then held back from release with the figure, and as we can see the coin was indeed made and now making its way through some... unsavory channels. See the coin below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

What exactly are the "unsavory channels" spoken of? I see very little in the way of details on this story...

Ahhh....okay. Illegal is unsavory, so that makes sense. I wonder why they wouldn't have just been destroyed by the manufacturer instead of stored somewhere.

TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust: Coin Uncovered

Takara Tomy isn't involved in the coins, that's all Hasbro Asia's doing.

I said all along that the coins had to be out there, there wasn't enough time to cancel their production when the plug was finally pulled on Hasbro Asia's Exhaust release. I Still say Hasbro Asia should push for a new paint deco of Exhaust from Takara Tomy so that the coins can still be put to use.

Via fellow Seibertronians Emerje and Cobotron we have another chapter to add to the definitely non-trademark related story of Takara Tomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust - it looks like it might receive another release this coming October! Currently listed over at AmiAmi for 4900 Yen (approx $41 USD).

Will you be trying to pick this figure up the second time round? Take a look at the Seibertron.com gallery, ponder, take a breather and let us know in the Energon Pub.

Oh my god its going to be aweosme for the people who don't have him yet and terrible for the people who had to pay how much extra to get the figure

I heard this was just unsold stock being liquidated, not a full blown reissue. Anyway, it's a fabulous MP. If there ever was a character to be retroactively inserted into G1, this would be my pick.

From your neurotic OCD troublemaking member.

I just transformed my Exhaust since the day hlj delivered my order last April. Always kept him in Lancia mode and all the carcinogenic endorsements not withstanding, I seem to prefer this rolling endorsement of death over Wheeljack (both car and robot mode)

These images I am uploading are not mine but I recently applied them on my version.

The decals also includes the "fix" on the "Malboro" triangle logo

Behold and judge.
