Well that's it! I'm selling my PS3! I never play it, (only my 360 or MGS4) and Thundercracker, bluestreak and Ratchet and Ironhide must be bought!!!

And ALL SHALL BASK IN THE GLORY THAT IS KOBE AND THE QUAKERS LOSING TONIGHT!!! MUHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAH!!!

 

FIXED 

 

As far as we know, the next one after Thundercracker (MP-08) will be Grimlock, which will mean we'll finally get a new Masterpiece mold. Here's hoping Hasbro releases him here in the states, and not as a Walmart Exclusive. If he ends up as any kind of store exclusive, I'd much rather have him sold as a Target Exclusive.

 

tamo, u r  

 

 

Well I think MP Thundercracker was inevitable and I, for one, am quite happy to hear it. Now i just have to figure out what to do with my original MP-03 SS. I've got the Hasbro one, so MP03 is rather redundant now. Anybody want him? He's only been displayed and TF'd a couple times.

 

My guess is that they're going to do with Universe Ratchet what I hoped they would have done with Alt Ratchet if they ever made him: change him from an ambulance to a modern EMS vehicle (which are usually SUV's). This mold definitely allows for it, so my fingers are cross that that's the direction they take since, as you said, an SUV ambulance doesn't make any sense.

And honestly, I wouldn't be too surprised if they still used this mold for a potential Trailbreaker repaint/remold as well.

 

The last two are the same mold (Thundercracker might have a new face like Skywarp did), but MP-5 was Megatron and MP-4 was Convoy Complete. Starscream was MP-3. Unless you count the white Starscream released in the US packaging.

I for one am glad they are doing Thundercracker. Now that they have him done, they can concentrate on a new figure.

Is it bad that because of the news of THUNDERCRACKER being made into a Masterpiece figure, I finally bought Masterpiece SKYWARP because although I could stand having only 1 of 2 Masterpiece seekers, I couldn't stand having only 1 with the full trio available? Ugh, I'm weak.

 

I want him, PM me and we can talk about it.

 

We all are....

 

Thundercracker.  

 

will Hasbro release a Universe Ratchet? if not I'll have to buy the Henkei one! and MP Thundercracker is a must buy for me! was kinda hoping the next MP was an Autobot since the Cons are out numbering the Bots!

 

I was hoping MP-07 was Grimlock, I guees he'll be 08. Hopefully with Ironhide coming out in Henkei in October, we'll be getting the classics version sooner than I expected, either way I'll be getting whichever comes out first.

 

This is probably the longest since the last MP was released. Glad its back in the game!

 

Yay! More money spent for me!

 

Hasbro will release a Ratchet for universe after animated Ratchet has left the shelves.

 

MP-09 Grimlock better get here damn fast! How the hell does it take them a year to release another f*cking repaint?! Before I didn't mind the seeker repaints, but now I am pissed.

EDIT: How much you wanna bet the next MP is Sunstorm?

 

$100,000,000?

I'd be willing to take that bet, as there is probably less than 1% chance of that happening...ever, nevermind as MP-8.  

For some reason people think that Takara likes to release Sunstorm figures. They've only released the one. The original. No Henkei, no Robot Master, no Galaxy Force, no Superlink, no Masterpiece. They did release Hasbro's Titanium (as a direct import like the USA Editions).

Hasbro on the other hand has released Universe, HOC, Titanium, Cybertron Minicon, and Cybertron LOC (there might be more I'm forgetting).

Plus, have you seen Takara's other Masterpiece Seekers (Starscream & Skywarp)? The even changed their schemes to be more realstic, what do you think they'd do to an orange (or by Hasbro's standards, yellow) jet? If the image on Skywarp's box is any indication than Thundercracker will be a very dark blue to match the "realism" of the other two.

I wouldn't mind if Hasbro does Skywarp in toon colors for this year's Walmart exclusive.  

 

im gonna go broke!!!
