    So all three of them don't come with shoulder rockets out of box eh? I guess I'm getting more of Wu's wares.

    Every time Hasbro or Takara save a penny by cutting corners, the third party guys make a dollar.

    Smokescreen comes with his, but they're different (animation accurate and kind of fugly IMO). I'm not sure why the main story link from the front page says MP17 through MP19, there's no special Amazon.co.jp item on the MP19 AFAIK.

    This is one one the most clever things I have ever seen written on the boards.

    Very very nicely done.

    You ever wonder if maybe Hasbro or Takara cut corners because they know that there is someone out there to pick up the slack for missing a show-accurate accessory?

    Takara: "Who cares if the gun for the new Transformer is missing or wrong, Dr. Wu will make one for us!"

    'Dr. Wu' is probably the Takara-Tomy budget manager.

    Says, "I think we should skip the <insert accessory>; the added cost would not increase marginal profit and no one will even care."

    Thinks, "Oh man, the fan-base is going to bitch and moan about this missing <insert accessory> and 'Dr. Wu' will sell thousands! Mwuhahahahaha!"

    I'm all for them, I'm just trying to figure out if they're going for more toy accuracy, animation accuracy, or just something cool. We need a speculation list, add or correct as necessary:

    1. Soundwave (neither)
    2. Jazz (Toy) or Hound (animation)
    3. Sideswipe (sort of like the toy)
    4.
    5. Mirage? (both)
    6. Wheeljack (animation)
    7. Soundwave (Toy)
    8. maybe a stylized version of Wheeljack (toy)
    9. Prowl/Bluestreak (Toy) or Red Alert (animation)

    UPDATE. Dr. Wu just posted a poll on his weibo page, with numbers 1 to 9 and the following instructions (translated from CHinese with google)

    So it looks these cannons are for Masterpiece Prowl, and he's asking the fans to choose the designs he will make.

    Being a member of Weibo I voted for three. Here are the results of the poll as of 4:40 pm Eastern US time today... Looks like #2 is winning.

    Make them all, price them reasonably, and I will buy them all.

    I'd vote for 1,2 and 9, but how about make a toy accurate one with a white base and chrome missile.
