    Bumblebee, only make him insanely complicated, also give him a gun bigger than his whole body. And have a rotating face for a toon face and toy face. Also, instead of lights give him a little horn. Beep beep. Also, give him alt-mode details ala MP SS, like maybe an engine, spare tire under the hood. (well, would it be the trunk even though it's in the front?)

    You people may think I'm joking but I'm not. I'm dead serious right he-ya.

    Most likely IMO (from a 'new molds only' view)
    Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime
    Bumblebee
    Soundwave

    (From an 'updated old molds' standpoint):
    'perfect' Megatron with scope/stock parts
    Ultra Magnus with Armor

    They need to change the head on the new Alternity (Fairlady Z)Megatron and repaint them into the datsun brothers.

    I would love to see it be Dirge or Galvatron, BumbleBee might be more probable for the one after next but I do think a conehead is up for the MP treatment next time around to let them have time with developing a completely new one.

    That sucks, you're missing out! Though the damn things are pricey...

    Hmm...Jetfire, Shockwave and Soundwave are the ones I'd love to see. It's nice that, at the moment, we have a line with more Decepticons than Autobots. I'm not partial to one or the other, but it bugs me that the Decepticons from the other lines I collect are seriously outnumbered. Either way, it'd be nice if they alternated going from Decepticon to Autobot to Decepticon for awhile.

    MP9 - Soundwave w/Ravage and Lazorbeak
    MP10 - Jetfire
    MP11 - Shockwave
    MP12 - Prowl
    MP13 Constructicons/Devastator (fully formed, it better be twice as tall as MP Prime and Megatron)
    MP14 - Hot Rod
    MP15 - Blitzwing
    MP16 - Ultra Magnus trailer that can become attach to MP2 and become armor/fully transformed Ultra Magnus
    MP17 - Ramjet
    MP18 - Perceptor
    MP19 - Thrust
    MP20 - Ironhide
    MP21 - Dirge
    MP22 - Ratchet
    MP23 - Galvatron
    MP24 - Sideswipe
    MP25 - Combaticons/Bruticus (also twice as tall as MP Prime and Megatron)

    Plus get eHobby to churn out MP Sunstorm and MP Nemesis Prime already. They can always turn Soundwave into Sound Blaster if they want to.

    I leave off Bumblebee and Jazz because of the potential problems with the car companies behind the alt. modes. Otherwise throw them in too.

    I would really like to see an MP Hot Rod with a transformation scheme like he had in the '86 movie. I remember him bending over and then his arms rotated during transformation and that really stuck out to me, I don't know why.

    MP Bumblebee is a no-brainer, but I don't think they need to get Volkswagon to sign off on it, do they? They'd only need to do that if they want to put a VW emblem on it. Since BB would be a smaller figure, in order to make it worth the $130 it would cost to purchase, they could include a semi-articulated Spike.

    Other than those two, they're quickly running out of characters that not only deserve the MP treatment, but that I would actually spend $100+ for.

    I can see them doing one they can get some easy repaints out of like coneheads, prowl/BS/SS that seems to be the way the releases have one so far.

    Would blow some serious fan paste if it was Soundwave though!!!!!!

    I'm personally hoping for Soundwave (+ three minions) followed by Shockwave.

    The rest of the Dinobots would be all sorts of awesome, but recent years has shown that apparently Grimlock is the only that exists anymore according to HasTak.

    Alternators already fill the role of Autobot characters, so I don't want anyone getting a more expensive MP treatment UNLESS it's Ironhide, Ratchet or Trailbreaker... since they totally got f'd in the Alt line.

    My hopes for a MP Skyfire went away as soon as I saw how tiny MP Grimlock was.

    The MP line is made up or original G1 characters.

    Neither of these are original G1 characters so I doubt we'll see them.
