But we already have an MP Rattrap ... 
All joking aside, how well does the T30 RT scale or blend in with the BW MPs? I'm not a BW kid, but I do have a soft spot for the old rat.

hes ok when next to primal, but when compared to dinobot and cheetor hes a bit too small. he should be just about a head smaller then cheetor, just below chest height.

Mp Rattrap, only 300 US dollars.
Seriously though I really like the T30 one, they'd have to do some good work to make me want to buy.

I'll bet on the outside and root for Transmetal Rattrap. Not only is 2020 the Year of the rat, but with the Classical elements cycle running concurrent with the zodiac one it is the Year of the metal rat. With Lunar New Year in 3 weeks I expect news to break fast on this one.

What will probably happen is that they'll have a decent amount of die cast in him to justify the metal element for the year of the rat, which will then justify the kinda ridiculous price.

This makes the second time Takara has hinted at MP Rattrap.

From the first hint last year, I'd assumed MP Rattrap was more or less a certainty. I would have thought Rhinox would be next and they'd want to save the smaller figures towards the end of the line? Then again, second/third tier characters have already been put out ahead of him, so who knows when he will debut in this roster.
On the flipside however, those eyeing the fate of MP Tarantulas and MP Tigatron must continue to wait...
My innate cynicism tells me, they will try to inflate his price with added plastic rubbish ala BA's "stand", instead of pricing the smallest MP Maximal honestly.

I sold BWMPs Dinobot and Megatron, I let Blackarachnia be canceled. I was gonna sell Cheetor, but keep Primal.
If this is true, and looks good enough, I might have to do some backtracking.....dammit.
Then again, I vastly prefer the Transmetal version of Megatron and Cheetor, so....

The Transmetals flopped in Japan. The organic-looking beast modes of Season 1 are what the Japanese market prefers.Stormtalon wrote:I'll bet on the outside and root for Transmetal Rattrap.

Besides, when it comes to Transmetals, there is the elephant in the room.
Megatron is the largest character in Season One. Transmetal Megs and Primal loom over that model. Rampage even taller than them and Optimal Optimus is a massive step up from him. Takara have always said Season One would be it for BW MP's. If by some chance Transmetals were to receive such an upgrade, I doubt the pricing would be palatable to many fans/collectors.
