    In order of price that I've seen - Greenscream < Ghost < White deco.

    I really hope there's a Hasbro MP-11 because I refuse to pay $250 for the Takara one. Should have jumped on it when I had the chance, sigh.

    so i was thinking back to the last hints i remember some insider dropping hints on here... i think it was something about red white and blue, and the scale chart or something. did that pan out with the three car bots?

    I think it was actually a Matrix red pill/blue pill reference. But just for a lark:

    red: Bluestreak (legs, headcrest)
    white: Prowl
    blue: Smokescreen

    Or maybe that refered to Smokescreen alone, since he's red, white, and blue.

    I think it was more a reference to Ultra Magnus myself.

    Oh! Haha.......guess I might as well just reread through the thread :) 

    But anyway, what I meant was that it would be nice if it was organized and laid out in well, let's say, the first post.....

    It could be like.....
    "Okay, here's what we know so far
    Update: (date)"

    But it's ok, it's not that big a deal. Perhaps I'm just being nitpicky

    the clues are really unnoficial and half the people only ridicule those who say they are insiders and drop clues so last i checked those people actually left.

    it was something about the red pill or blue pill and the scale chart?

    i cant put thsoe clues to gether and get prowl, smokescreen, and bluestreak.

    We do miss your inside hints TCracker.

    Last I recall tho part of the hints included small small medium medium big. That is out of line but was of course noteably accurate as things change.

    My question TCracker, as it was you who dropped the blue or red pill in regards to the scale chart. Were those (at the time) hints of actually upcoming characters or was it a Matrix referencing that either we could take the dream pill and look at the scale chart hoping to see all those MP characters or we could take the reality pill and wake up to realize that Takara has no motive to complete the '84 cast?

    I took it as a wake up that the scale chart wouldn't happen. It was the worst clue ever!

    Please share!

    Thanks!

    I would love to see a V2 Megs, but the design worries me when it comes down to the legs, they have to be solid looking and not thin, like G1 and MP-5. And his arm cannon has to be perfectly scaled, in the cartoon, his cannon was roughly the length of his arm, maybe a bit longer,. if they could crack those 2 things, it may be the best MP to date, imo

    They need to take a leaf out of Hegemon's book for the fusion cannon...I'm pretty sure they can make the legs better tho.

    I'm gonna go out on a wild guess here and say next year is going to be the year of big and highly anticipated MP releases. I may be wrong but I would say next year it's most likely we'll see Megatron V2 and some of the others that people have wanted for a long while.

    Sorry to change the topic a bit, but what do you guys think the likelihood of an MP ironhide and ratchet? 30%? 50%? 70%?

    I'm trying to figure out if I should drop my preorder for the MP05W reissue.
