    Oh that's definitely a misconception, there are many many toys I have never owned. When i got into the hobby my goal was just that, to own all the G1 I never did. But I fell in with some very seasoned collectors and quickly started buying variants of popular figures, then Diaclone and pre-TF, so the list of G1 I have never owned includes some very bread and butter stuff:

    - Blaster
    - Any of his cassettes
    - Slugfest/Overkill
    - Trypticon
    - Broadside
    - Fort Max
    - Superion
    - Menasor
    - Defensor (although i briefly had Guard City)
    - Abominus
    - Piranacon
    - Any Pretenders
    - Most Micromasters
    - Squeezeplay
    - Sludge
    - Whirl
    - Roadbuster
    - Computron

    etc etc

    All the best

    Yes he was. Besides the extra accessories as Maz mentioned.

    Toy Hobby Market / TakaraTomy Mall have had quite a few in Japan. Toy Hobby Market was the precursor for TakaraTomy Mall.

    Awe man the memories. I remember trading a micro master black car for trypticon. Honestly not sure how that worked out, I remember the kid and I remember the trade well. My mom might have stolen fort max from Walmart. Not proud of that. Just a small fact of life I guess. Abominus and the Piranacons were the only full teams I owned. I had tons of pretenders. And totally hated them hahaha. Because naturally they weren't any of the characters on the tapes that my grandfather taped for me. My sludge was a buck at a local thrift store. And it was missing both robot legs. So the entire back of the Dino was missing But I was so excited to actually have a real Dinobot haha. I had the drill and the motorcycle of computron. Also the leader. But I took apart his spring loaded gun and couldn't put it back together. Never took apart another toy haha. Good memories. Thanks!

    Fyi, looks like you had google translate set to Japanese. Does a much better job if you choose Chinese (or let it auto detect)! :)

    Howabout....

    MP-15X - X is for extra large.
    Ravage and Frumble are correctly scaled in BOT mode - transforming into a full sized cassette.

    Here goes:

    "Traditional:"
    MP-10 - Convoy G2 Version
    MP-11 - Starscream G2 Version, Starscream Ghost Version, Ramjet G2 Version
    MP-12/14 - Deep Cover
    MP-13 - N/A
    MP-13/15/16 Cassettes - MC Cassettes (Garboil, Howlback, Enemy), KP Cassettes (Sundor, Glit), Stripes (Ravage), Wingthing (Ratbat)
    MP-17/18/19 - N/A
    MP-20/23 - Slicer
    MP-21 - MC Blue Bumble/Glyph, Bugbite
    MP-22/31 - N/A
    MP-24 - Dark/Black Star Saber
    MP-25/26 - N/A
    MP-27/30 - Diaclone Black Vanette
    MP-28 - Black Rodimus, Targetmaster Hot Rodimus w/Firebolt
    MP-29 - Gray Astro Magnum
    MP-32/38 - Burning Convoy
    MP-33/35/37 - Inferno G2 Version (I mean, if we're getting a +Lambor...), Hauler
    MP-34 - Shadow Panther, Tigatron (more or less)
    MP-36 - Megaplex, MC Black Walther (black/blue deco)
    MP-39 - Diaclone Police Lambo, Spinout
    MP-?? (Dinobot) - BW Grimlock, BWII Thrustor, BWN Hardhead, BM Dinotron

    (Obvious) + or Toy Versions:
    MP-10+
    Toy Versions of every core Seeker except Skywarp
    MP-13+ & MP-13B+
    Toy Versions of MP-16
    MP-18+
    Toy Version of MP-19
    MP-20+
    MP-21+/Toy Version
    Toy Version of Ultra Magnus
    Toy Versions of Tracks & Road Rage
    Toy Version of Shockwave
    Toy Version of Cheetor(?)
    Toy Version of Megatron
    Toy Version of Dinobot
    Perhaps + versions of anyone I've not listed, that doesn't already have one, pre-MP-24(?)

    Marvel/X Versions:
    Soundwave & Ratchet are the obvious ones that I'm aware of. Someone with more familiarity with the Marvel series could say which existing molds have obvious Marvel colors versions that could be done, but this could be like the + series and the obvious versions aren't the ones Takara opts for, especially if the cassettes do get an X version.

    Obscure/Other Redeco Options:
    MP-10 - Convoy Clear Version (Takara used to do this all the time)
    MP-11 - Every other Seeker (Bitstream & Hotlink, Ion Storm & Nova Storm, Nacelle, Cancelled G2 Seekers)
    MP-12 - Cancelled G2 Sideswipe Blue/Yellow deco (NOT the Go-bot toy)
    MP-13/15/16 (All) - SG Soundwave & Ratbat, Blackcat (obscure green Ravage)
    MP-21 - Botcon Glyph (dark metallic blue)
    MP-22 - Shining Magnus
    MP-28 - Hot Rodimus Clear Version
    MP-30 - Oil Slick (green movie-esque Ratchet)
    MP-32 - Convoy Clear Version, Convoy Universe Version
    MP-36 - Megatron Gold Version, Megatron Unicron Reformatting Version (Skywarp & Thundercracker technically could get this too, since they were around in that scene), Megatron Black Version
    MP-??(Dinobot) - Armada/"Dinobots" Grimlock
    Any Sleep Mode deco for a character with an onscreen movie death
    Anything random as fuck (BAPE or some other collab)

    Wait, what was MP-3G exclusive to? I thought that was eHobby as well.

    Uk Issue #15 was part 3 of Enemy Within. About 5 pages of Black And White (I think), mostly Starscream and Brawn fighting whilst RAVAGE watches on.

    So..... maybe MP15-X is an sepia grey-brown Ravage with black edges ?

    NOTRAB:天有不测风云 欢迎大家来打脸[​IMG][​IMG]

    Translation: Fortune is unpredictable, I welcome you guys to slap me in the face

    (btw, why are you guys putting it into a machine translator when I am already translating it?)

    Anyway, it's the weekend in Asia so really don't expect anything for the next 48 hours.

    Just wanna say thanks for the translations - whatever they say! :) 

    I love it when we get Japanese and Chinese speakers taking the time to translate little tidbits for us here in the 'west'. Anything is interesting and appreciated.

    It seemed peculiar they would announce something today when Figure King comes out Tuesday.

    I got it.

    It's a re-release of MP-15 with a new accessory: the Ultra Plane from Desertion of the Dinobots Part 1. You know, the episode where Soundwave is inexplicably hanging out in Ironhide's cargo area, and ejects Ravage, who's then caught by the tail by...

    ...Blaster.

    This is why MP-15X hints at a Blaster release.

    Watch out, NOTRAB! Ikkstakk has GOT YOUR NUMBER! :cool:

    Why is it MP-15"X"? I can explain that too. I bet Rumble is eXcised from this release. The X, post-reboot, will now indicate that something significant has been removed from the original release. If I recall correctly, the Ultra Plane was a fairly smallish UAV, and it's taking Rumble's place in the package.

    BOOM! Come at me, doubters! :lol

    It's "X" for Xtremely unlikely to be anything to it.
