    Hell yes to more energon cubes.

    I still think a big stack of energon cubes that doubles as storage for everything by turning it upside down (or with a removable lid or something) would be genius!

    I want a Teletraan 1, he's a valid character! I'm drooling just thinking about it


    As for Blaster coming with a mini-me, I think Tracks has us covered there - although he's coloured silver which probably won't be what they go with on the actual MP.

    Guess we need a mini Blaster +?

    Combiners are just really, really unlikely to happen in any reasonable time frame, for the reasons you mention. At this point I will be happy to finish the pre-Transformers Diaclone and Microchange guys, select Japanese guys, and I'm good.

    I'd love that! If we're going to do that, how about a Lincoln Memorial for Megatron to sit in? :p 

    LOL! Reminds me that no matter how much I love the Marvel comic and feel it's superior overall to the Sunbow toon, it could be just as silly.

    ::raises hand:: I'm one of those old-school fans who grew up with G1 but came back into the hobby with BW. A great cartoon and a great toyline. It may not be for everyone, but I don't think BW's importance to the brand can be underestimated.

    All fantastic ideas. I especially want Teletraan I and Quintessons.

    In my survey response I begged them for decent MP humans. Bigger and more detailed than the useless undersized germs we have been getting so far.

    According to Autobase Aichi, there is no MP Dinobot in this month's Figure King magazine.

    The issue's summary here: フィギュア王No.233

    I'm surprised there doesn't appear to be coverage of Tokyo Toy Show. We might have gotten some photos from the slideshow.

    Could be that it was too close to press. A lot of magazines work 2-3 months out these days.

    So I would assume that the next G1 MP is Blaster. If so, then I would like to take some money from my Piggy Bank (Saving for Dinobot and Jazz) for something else.

    Blaster should be taller than MP-10.
    I think is secure to say that dinobot is coming before blaster.

    As long as he's a good cm taller than Soundwave I'm good - which would put him around MP-10 height I believe.

    Why, because the toy was huge compared to G1 Optimus? So was Shockwave and he became a relatively small Decepticon MP.

    I have no doubt that Blaster will be about the same size as MP Soundwave. Cartoon/comic/scale chart had him shorter than Optimus and thus he will be shorter than MP-10.

    Bust out the " oh holy scale chart " . I don't think blaster was taller then Prime . Then again , I'm not even positive on that statement.

    He's not, he's the same height as, or ever so slightly shorter than prime

    So do we get a double reveal in a few weeks? Preorders open in 3 days so we should get our tape reveal.......Blaster reveal wouldn't be too long after that?

    One day someone will realize that even Takara isn't worrying all the much about that damn chart as anything but a rough guide and just burn it.
