I tip my hat sir. Got any explanation for the color choices on the mini Blaster?

Nice! So if we get a fourth MP Tracks there's still another color for lil Blaster (besides SG)

I'm actually loving these Diaclone homages from the Masterpiece line, especially when it both retroactively creates new G1 characters AND adds to the notably smaller numbers of the Decepticon ranks for MP offerings. I'm betting we'll get some sort of "Decepticon" version of Blaster based on this Microman color scheme from the MP-25L set once they get around to actually making Blaster, though they may just stop at the obvious (and quite similar) Twincast repaint.

It also makes me wish he had gotten more of these years ago. A retool/repaint of RtS Turbo Tracks as "Loudmouth/Vivisector," Exhaust (heavily modified in deco so as to not irk Philip Morris...again) from the Generations/United Wheeljack mold, Clampdown and Deep Cover from the Universe 2008 Sideswipe mold, etc. I think the only hope for these now would be Takara, as Hasbro never had much interest in Diaclone homages. I loved getting "Burn Out" and "Lift Ticket" from BotCon 2015, but Fun Publications will be done with any and all exclusive figures by the end of this year.

Side note: I've been working on kit bashing Universe 2008 Sideswipe and Sunstreaker into Tigertrack and Diaclone Red Sunstreaker, which I'm thinking of naming Hotstreak (I don't know of any fictional use of a red Sunstreaker yet). I got distracted with this project about half way through, so it's a bit hard to put the pieces back where they are supposed to go now. Plus, a few screws heads have stripped. >.<

Those are awesome colors! And the head sculpt is banging too!

I won't buy because I'm perfectly satisfied with Road Rage. Still, ya gotta admit that new version is very sweet looking. Even went the extra mile to give it a new head!

huh. i like this. may try to get.

pretty cool.

Incidentally, God Ginrai uses a westernized "goddo" (ゴッ) in his name because it's meant to be a play on Gojira (a.k.a. Godzilla) if you remove the correct syllables (Go* Gi*ra*).

What you may not know about Japanese is that kanji can have multiple readings, depending on factors like how the character is used, if it's standalone or in a compound. The kanji for "god" has two: kami standalone, or shin/jin in compounds. Needless to say, there are a lot of homophones in Japanese.

Ok, enough about that, back to Loud Pedal. Pretty surprised it uses the mouth plate of the original toy, but not so much at the body: 25 is the Tracks body after all, while 26 is the Road Rage type.

Still, that black paintjob looks GORGEOUS.

actually I really like what they are doing here. I know its another character but it makes me want to have him stand in as Needlenose.

I was also thinking about he Needlenose connection.

I thought Needlenose was a grey jet? Or am I missing something?
