    And yeah, G1 MPs are surprisingly scarce. We want Jazz!

    I may be in the minority but I always preferred the deluxe Ironhide, I just think it's more accurate ( assure from the cannons) and has better proportions,
    It's too small though, but it did encourage me to get deluxe ratchet and hftd voyager prime to scale with it though

    it will live forever in ours hearts. I think that line has dead more time than Kenny, according to the fan. Oh well... Anyway, this could be the first time that we have a real contemporany Masterpiece, with VW Bee.

    I do hope the final headsculpt is better than that... or if not, we can swap it for the HA Barricade head.

    Man, this thing looks amazing. It's every bit as awesome as I was hoping. UGH, Hasbro, just announce this thing already! I want my MPM Barricade.

    The next MPM being Ironhide sounds cool. Beetle Bee getting the MPM after is annoying, but whatever. As long as the line isn't totally taken over by post-TF1 designs.

    Nope you're not in the minority. It could be a case of the silent majority.

    If the MPM line has been a failure after MPM-4, both TT & Hasbro could've just scrapped Barricade and be done with it.

    Oh yeah count me in as one of the folks thoroughly satisfied with both recent MPMs. :cool:

    Stop your doom and gloom and get real. Do you really think they're going to stop doing g1 mps? You have be stupid to believe that. They've even said they've got more in the works like Trailbreaker.

    Think it's the sunken head look. Hope there'll be a way to lift his head up higher from his chest.
    But seeing as Prime kinda has the same issue, I'm not getting my hopes up.

    Either way, I'm hoping we'll get more pictures of this guy soon.

    The molds are nice but they NEED to up the quality. I like Bee but he was a massive downgrade quality wise from the G1 MP's. Haven't even bought Prime because of this.

    I've avoided Prime because of the reviews that show him not tabbing together.
    Or tabbing together well.

    I don\'t think MPs are dead, but Takara and Hasbro are playing catch-up with OSKO Customs, genuine full, 3P MPs and possibly (losing?) sales to people simply buying leader class figures (CW Megs and Starscream, etc) and calling it a day.  Just look at the upcoming \"Peru Kill\" (MP Lockdown), the KFC Dino/Mirage and the Wei Jiang OSKO AOE Evasion Prime;  I am not a Bay fan, but all of those look tempting.

    Honestly, I\'m disappointed with this MP. From Previous pictures, it looked like it would be pretty cool. I guess I was wrong. I\'m sticking to my Right Foot-less Deluxe 2007 Barricade lol (if anyone has a right foot for him, please contact me immediately )

    not sure about the chest but the rest is ok. I don't think I'll be buying him but I'm sure he will have his fans.

    Was ik al bij de eerste geruchten....

    He's a must have no doubt, maybe i can replicate the first encounter scene although it's his 07 body for Bee
