ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[thecorsair]

I wouldn't say he is the worst. That's Rodimus.
Megatron looks great in gun mode, and if you have the attachment that just toys put out a while back, it looks great. I have it on my wall, fully transformed. It does look silly in hand as it is oversized, but far from a pos.

With Megatron the only mode I'm intrested in is the robot mode, so much so that I would be perfectly happy if the V2 Masterpiece doesn't transform at all.

When the V2 gets revealed I'll be intrested to see if it takes any cues from Toyworld's Hegemon because that is by far the best G1 style Megatron currently available.

Looks like I'm getting MP-10 and waiting for V2 megatron... thanks for the replies.

 

[teemu]

Going by the MP-17 video, there are some parts that look like a real ***** to transform!!!

Nah,that guy just needs to take off the stupid gloves

Good decision. I was so excited for MP-05 when he first came out but he's my least favorite MP mold. Surely, they can knock it out on the next one. I'm excited for it.

I just found what could be the first youtube review on MP-17 Prowl. Now this reviewer sorta gives me the creeps, but I was mainly interested in the figure and tried to block out his um...voice and antics I guess?? Anyway, check it out!!!

Nah. A transformer that doesn't transform at all will never be ok to me. Ever.

I think the problem really relies on the legs, they are too skinny. I don't have hegemon, but I heard good things. Shockwave also had the skinny leg syndrome back in the day, and FansToys outdid themselves with their attempt at him. I'm sure takara is taking clues from them, one can only hope, right?

Until Hegemon came along I didn't think it was possible for a G1 Megatron to have a really good robot mode and still retain the ability to transform.

It was a while ago but a Takara guy mentioned that FansProject's City Commander gave him some ideas for how to tackle Ultra Magnus armor so if that was the same dude that's designed everything from MP10 onwards then I think there's a better than average chance that Megatron V2 will be something like Hegemon, but even better.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I do hope they make a V2, but them reissuing mp05 really makes me wonder WHEN that will be. I know mp10 came shortly after last shot mp01, but with them tackling the G1 vehicles (nothing wrong with that) at full speed, I don't see it happening soon.

Now, where is my MP Galvatron!!!!!?

 

[Ra88]

Oh snap, tease for MMC's (potential) new project.

^Welp, Goodbye Nova Lord, Hello MMC Overlord.

 

[soundwave]

Was flicking through the kids channels earlier looking for something to watch & one of our channels called KIX has started showing Transformers: Cybertron from the beginning again & I had forgotten just how awful the series was.

I tried watching it but by god it was terrible, the voices don't fit the characters, the stories made little sense, animation was bad, just everything was dire.

I'm so glad I'd forgotten about this series but now I have to mind wipe again.

Can some please pass the mind bleach

I don't believe the reissue story.

If a legit reissue of MP05 was happening all the Asian retailers would have known about it and had their pre-order info up before BBTS got wind of it.

As of a few minutes ago Anime Export, Hobbylink Japan, AmiAmi & Hobby Search have jack s**t on an MP05 reissue.

So if BBTS are lying about an MP05 reissue in order to shift the old stock they've acquired, it also raises the possibility that they could be lying about Wheeljack and Bumblebee.

Prior to WJ and BB being "announced" the smart money was on MP20 being Megatron V2, people with some history of inside knowledge were hinting as much.

It wouldn't suprise me if that's actually what still happens.

A new Ultra Magnus using the MP10 mold plus a new trailer that forms his armor is happening at some point, I expect Galvatron will get revealed soon after.

soundwave,
I'd love to help on the mind bleach but I used my supply up during my last attempt at getting into the modern version of Doctor Who a couple of years ago

Thanks for posting that video koolkollectibleskhai. The previous one was interesting. I didn't know he came with an exclusive cannon.

Man you missed out on the Galvatron cameo!

Did the toy come to life and blow that girl into a million tiny pieces?

Or did the Doctor finally get fed up of having annoying companions being written as the focal point in a series that's named after him and clobber her with it?

If the answer to both is "No" then I don't think I missed anything of value

Lol DAMMIT!!!
I've been trying so hard to forget the abomination that I saw but it's just not working, it's probably the worst TF cartoon I've ever seen...honestly it's just soooooooooo bad.

In MP17 news it appears that Kapow Toys will have their shipment in today & orders will start shipping tomorrow & they should be with everyone by the end of the week (according to their FB page)

Also I'm not sure how widespread this is but it appears that MP11 is getting another release during November & Kapow will have some up for Preorder soon...

If the price is good I might just have to finally see what all the MP11 fuss is about.

NEWS!

Masterpiece starscream is getting a reissue.

[karamazov80]

LOL After waiting all this time and assuming it wasn't happening, I finally caved and bought a custom repaint about a month ago (still waiting for it. . .). Great news, though.

--edit: reading TFW speculation, it is that this might be $220, in which case it's going to be really overpriced--

Great news on Prowl, I got my shipping confirmation from Anime Export today so mine are also en route!

It's nice that MP11 is finally getting another run as prices were getting a bit on the silly side.

It is currently the only Seeker I own....that may change if Takara release Skywarp and Thundercracker with the MP11 mold and do something to set them apart like giving both different face sculpts.

What with that Grimlock reissue price a while back, we shouldn't have been surprised...

Still worth 220 imo... but barely. Really only because he's an essential character.
