The first MP Soundwave was pretty cool, but since then, some 3P did better. Will this new MPG Soundwave take the crown?

Frankly I struggle to witness any difference from the original MP toy in the provided picture. Could it be a simple reissue, due to the tease of his Autobot counterparts?

There's also MPG Broadcast / Blaster and apparently an MPG-20 Hot Rod.
Whether Hot Rod its a redeco of MP-28 or a new mold is unknown.

The image is showing Soundwave partnered with a bird cassette, which would lead to the assumption of Lazerbeak being part of the package. No additional information is known at this time, so only speculation exists if this is a new mold, or how many cassettes will be included--- since the X posted image is shadowed, one could even argue if the bird is Lazerbeak or Buzzsaw!

Eventually it will be since we know we're getting Twincast. Though, oddly enough, the original MP Soundblaster is already in cartoon colors with the purple chest instead of the toy colors with the red chest so maybe they'll do toy colors MPG Soundblaster next.

I am....whelmed. I missed Soundwave the first time around and have always somewhat regretted it but I was also hoping for a redux to address some of the shortcomings the original had. Maybe I just bite the bullet this time, I dunno....

I have the old Hasbro version with the yellow visor and it's a good mold that does justice to the character. I recommend it.Syclone wrote:I am....whelmed.

And all those mini cassettes that came with it, too!

Thanks to Takara, we have another teaser to share with you today, that of a re-do of G1 Hot Rod / Rodimus in the MPG line!
The teaser does not offer us too much information, but a full reveal cannot be too far behind. This will be a 3rd attempt at an MP-styled Hot Rod / Rodimus, following the early Rodimus Prime and then more cartoon-inspired MP which also received a Targetmaster repaint. Time will tell if this is an improvement on those 2 figures.
Check out the teaser below, and watch this space for a reveal in the near future!

I reckon a new take on Rodimus Prime is long overdue, despite me having no interest into it whatsoever. I wonder if they'll stick to the Hot Rod "evolution" gimmick or go for separate figures.

If this is a new mold then I just hope they stick to it either being a Hotrod, or a Rodimus Prime this time. That said I feel like this is just going to be another repaint of a old MP.

Another Hot Rod. I love Masterpiece, but it's beyond stale now. Just the same characters all over again. Plenty of G-1 characters left to do. Hell, plenty of Beast Wars characters to do as well.

I once owned the first MP Rodimus. It was gigantic and awkward. I was never impressed with the 2.0 version so I skipped. Will this 3.0 version finally succeed?

The only way they'll get me to purchase this is if it's a simpler transformation AND the Targetmaster is included.

I would prefer if it was magenta, but this is a fine looking bot.

Well, that's certainly a better sculpt in some ways. Not crazy about the "wings", but this is "Style Gen" like the upcoming Optimus so I guess they have a lot of liberties they can take. I doubts this will be a simple transformation, but the Style Gen series is supposed to be simpler so I guess we'll wait and see.

Very interesting. Reminds me a little too much of Commander Roddy.
Just hope it's not $350 bucks.
My Roddy shelf will need to make room for him.
Also, can't wait for comparisons to MP-28 who is now 10 Years old.
Also, also, will it come with his targetmaster Firebolt or will we have to wait for a second release to see that.
And we'll get yet another fishing rod to toss into the accessory bin never to be seen again.
