:lol I'm a sucker for these movies.

Chime in over in the movie thread. I have question. Need someone with TF knowledge to help me out.
 
I don't know anything about these movies.


They simply don't exist to me. But as long as it makes money, it means that HashTak will have more $$$ to release amazing masterpieces.

Yeah, that's the only major, potential value I see in them. The increased visibility/profit. They are offensive to me in just about every other sense. . .well, they probably gave John Turturro a nice house or two, which the guy also certainly deserves.
 
While I do believe that this movie will be the same mediocre entertainment as before, after this trailer I DO have the slight hope that it goes more G1.

Megatron´s silhoutte looked near spot on, the horn in the ground + the planet hovering near earth and the metallic hole that they were researching give indications of Unicron.

But that Megatron is back and that Optimus turned on Bumblebee makes no sense.
They introduced Galvatron...so wth?!
 
Finally got my MP G1 shelf done, now I only need to hang up the pics again, but for now I like that very much:

Last shot again, just cropped, so the perspective is right. :)

great setup man! that looks REALLY cool! :clap

Few more Thrust photos. Really wish MakeToys would move forward with their "Howling Meteor" 3rd party Starscream; it'd be nice to see a fresh take on the Seeker mold.

those are some great shots of the figure! good job! :clap
 
I think MP Inferno is by far the best thing TT has put out thus far. The engineering, ease and fun level of the transformation is only matched by Ironhide/Ratchet. What an incredible figure by TT. The fact that this cartoon accurate representation of Inferno turns into a real life Fuso is just insane.
 
Here's the MP class of 2016 for me, with no more releases that I'm getting until Feb 2017. I did pass on MP Optimus Primal, but overall that makes it almost one MP figure per month released by Takara, which is pretty damn awesome.

I'm still loving this series of figures, with some of the best G1 styled Transformers ever made. With the likes of Megatron, Grapple, and Dirge to come in 2017, plus hopefully more announcements from the core cast, it should be another fantastic year!

I would add that Jazz to my MP shelf in a second! Looks awesome. Jazz would be the first character (besides the Seekers) that I would buy an extra to display the alt mode. I guess I'll get this for now, and then the eventual TT MP.

I'd much rather wait for the real thing,


That's me though. TT will likely kill it.

Going back through the releases over the past few years, it's clear that 2013 was really the turning point in the MP series.

Before 2012, we only had Grimlock and Rodimus that can still fit in somewhat with the new MPs. And then in 2012, they rebooted the series with Optimus and Starscream.

2013 shot the series straight into the stratosphere with brand new designs like Sideswipe, Soundwave, the cassettes, and Prowl. Variants like Red Alert and Tigertrack, Streak and Smokescreen, and Nemesis Prime were also done.

2014 was almost a dud year with only repaint variants like Soundblaster, Silverstreak, and G2 Sideswipe. That is until right at the end late in the year they released three brand new molds in Wheeljack, Bumblebee, and Ultra Magnus to end the year with a bang!

2015 was definitely the year of the repaint, with Diaclone colours emerging in full force with Exhaust, Bluestreak, Red BB, Clampdown, and Road Rage releasing. Only two new molds were released in 2015 in Star Saber and Tracks. But of course, the two big releases for me were the long awaited repaints for Skywarp and Thundercracker! Getting those two to complement Starscream was something I had waited a long time for!

2016 was another huge year, with brand new molds in Ironhide, Shockwave, Hot Rod, and Inferno with some decent retools/core colours in Ramjet, Thrust, Ratchet and Anime Red Alert. Of course Diaclone homages continued with Delta Magnus and Loud Pedal too. Looking back, I think 2016 ranks amongst their best so far!

Seeing the releases summarised year by year, I think Takara have really taken the MP series to another level over the past 3-4 years. I dont think many collectors would have envisioned what we have now back then. I think it truly is a golden time to be a Transformers fan, especially if you're a G1 cartoon or toy fan.
 
Re: All things transformers!!!!

Takara defines the "real thing"?? :lol they are not the final authority of transformers toys

Eh, they are to me, so, I couldn't care less about what you, or anyone else thinks on that regard. If you enjoy fan made transformers, more power to you.
