    I'm in no hurry to order MP Grimlock. For future MPs I'd like to see Galvatron and Shockwave.

    No need to pre-order my importer gives me first dibs on everything. A Magnus trailer, Sky/Jetfire, rest of the dinobots, Shockwave, and Blitzwing for starters.

    I preordered a couple as soon as I could and seeing the pics today just made me feel all the more sure I want it.

    I would probably like any character to become MP's, but whoever they make, I just want them to be top of the line toys/display pieces. I don't disslike how Megatron and Starscream look, but I feel they "skimped" on a few things and the quality of Prime hasn't been matched. I've heard arguments as to why Megatron had to be the way he was since, unlike Prime, he isn't a box that transforms into a robot. Fine, then I feel takara should do what it takes and charge what it takes to give us a figure that won't have easily breakable parts. Grimlock being more expensive I would hope is a good sign that he will be built properly.

    I'm not in a hurry to order MP Grimlock either. I'm waiting to see more details and size comparison when the final product comes out.

    im gonna preorder him, cause it doesnt cost anything for a preorder.

    as for new ones, im praying for:
    MP Shockwave
    MP Soundwave with MP Ravage and MP Laserbeak
    MP Rodimus (Prime)/Hot Rod
    MP Bumblebee

    though i think the only thing with a MPBB is that i dont know if the makers can get use of a VW Beatle...

    Unfortunately I don't have the means right now. An MP Shockwave and Rodimus Prime would be hella sick!

    As with allot of people, I'd love to have an MP Shockwave and Soundwave, for the Autobots, Ratchet & Ironhide would be nice. Tho one thing that would be freaking awesome would be an MP Devastator but the chances of that happening are very slim...

    Hell yeah an MP Devastator would be sick - bonkers really. But I guess it would be way too big if the individual parts are also MP.

    Ones I want to see.

    SOUNDWAVE. We need a good sound wave. I hope he'd be slightly larger than Starscream(robot)and be able to hold the old and new(classics hound) cassettes.

    Blitzwing

    Astrotrain.
    At that size tiple changers could be both show accurate and have very accurate double alt modes.

    Rodimus
    Galvatron

    Skyfire

    Ultra Magnus with Armor

    pipe dream

    constructicon (that could eventually combine)

    I've always like Hotrod and Rodimus Prime. I grew up watching the reruns of the G1 Movie. If they are to made in masterpiece, I would totally buy like 3 of each, whomever is made. Already pre-ordered 3 grimlocks.

    Hotrod was one of the transformers i could relate growing up... his charateristics was just so similar, this impulsive young kid.

    And Rodimus Prime was just cool when he was in the movie kicking Galvatron's butt.

    Sorry If Im reminiscing a little bit. But those two are my favorite characters in transformers.

    I pre-ordered. I've been excited about this since the first teaser pic a while back. I've been pretty happy with all the MPs out so far (except SS and SW seem a little flimsy, and never wanna stay on the stand in bot mode)...anyway...
    I'd love to see...

    MP Soundwave
    MP Shockwave
    MP Wheeljack
    MP Sunstreaker
    MP Beast Wars Megatron
    MP Beast Wars Rattrap
    MP (small scale) Bumblebee
    MP (small scale) Ravage, Laserbeak, Ratbat
    MP (small scale) Cosmos

    Yeah, I saw the teaser pic of Grimlock. :D  WOW, he looks awesome, just like classic Grimlock. I love his Dinosaur mode the most. He looks EXACTLY! like the cartoon in every way. Love it already.

    His robot mode looks awesome too, while it's smaller in scale to the Dinosaur mode, it does look awesome none the less. I can't wait to see some production shots of him.

    I already love him. I got excited when I saw the silouette of him, it was enough to get me to pre-order. It was a great teaser for a figure that I knew would be awesome once I saw it.

    I wonder what the changes are of getting the rest of the seeker (Coneheads) out of the Starscream mold. I would love to have a Thrust, Ramjet & Dirge.
