    I'm sure he would if there was anything available. Keep in mind, this thread was only started 3 weeks ago, about enough time to start gathering the data people have been posting. I'm not sure how fast people think things move but I dont think it's unfair to be a bit more patient before we start pushing for updates.

    I'd love an OS chrome Megatron to go with my OS Ultra Magnus & Nemesis Prime, as well as a Brown/dark-copper regular-sized KO for Browning

    1:1 or Under Sized (Voyagerish) but not OS for me.

    What might make me bite are any alternate colorways they might cook up.

    Megaplex/"Convoy VS" (Matte with Blue mapped to the red parts)
    "Black" Version (Gunrobo Brown Handled)
    One or more G2/Nerf-Safety Variants (Nothing ugly of course, but something with nice colorful Purples and such, like the Classics mold or whatever)

    Would different proportions affect the transformation? I'd like it to have the same proportions.

    I'd buy a Voyager version. Not MP or OS.

    Hoo boy. If that pans out I predict a heck of a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth. The number of people bemoaning the grey paint on MP-36 and wishing it was silver was huge. A whole bunch of people would have ordered this thinking that the only option they would get. To then announce a silver deco, and so soon, but deliberately waiting till after the first release? People are gonna be pissed at that.
    We still get folks abusing KFC for releasing a plain red version of their Blaster mould after the metallic one, and there was at least a couple of years between and heaps of ongoing demand for it. This though? This seems like a sneaky money grabbing tactic... so pretty much exactly what you'd expect from Takara!

    Either way I don't think that an update in this point is an unreasonable request by any means.

    So the MP Shockwave KO is hitting the market now, and... it's still costs way too much. I wanted one to repaint but, nah, pass.
    Why? Because they feel the need to match the original exactly. Including the electronics that made the original so needlessly expensive in the first place.
    I suggest removing all light-up and sound features. That'll keep the price down. And I for one have no interest in them whatsoever.

    The tears will be delicious. Sweeter than sugar for coffee.

    I don't want the electronics. Don't care about lights and I don't want batteries corroding inside my expensive figures.

    I wonder of Takara will do that as a repaint?

    That's what I'm expecting from this rumored version. It'd match the MP Optimi so much better than tooniegoonie Megachip.

    I'd be surprised if they did the red legs. They're going for a toon look with the line, not a G1 toy look. But they did do a toy repaint of the MP Primal, so I guess anything is possible.
