    Do you guys think we're getting a hinged backpack/barrel to preserve the perfect transformation?

    It's like when FT revealed Acoustic Wave/Laserbeak and then Takara revealed MP-13 shortly after. Massive difference that made FT's look amateurish.....especially Laserbeak.

    I know MP toys don't normally do electronics, so my one potential bit of sadness will be that he won't make the awesome Astro Magnum "pew pew" laser noises...

    Is it just me, or does Hot Rod looks a bit downscaled? or is Shockwave going to be really huge?

    Huh. How tall does Shockwave seem to you guys? Assuming Hot Rod is MP Car height, Shockwave looks kinda like Ultra size, which would work well for Classics. That'd be pretty sweet!

    Shockwave will be at least as tall and Starscream, but will probably be as tall as Soundwave.

    I dunno I see balance issues with Shockwave. One of the best things about Quakewave was how amazingly stable it was in almost any pose. I dont see that being quite as good with the official one. Don't get me wrong I"m stoked to see an official Shockwave just not sure how posable he will be. Now the Hot Rod, him I'm on the fence about on one hand the chest looks off on the other hand any rodimus without his paint applications looks a little off so I"m cautiously optimistic.

    And now I'm full on ready to cancel Quakewave's preorder. I'm poing Shockers when he goes up for order.

    I'll still be happy with FTs offering. With that said I'll happily pick up both.

    It look like that. Maybe Mp 30 Ratchet, Mp 31 Jazz, Mp 32, Mirage, Mp 33 Brawn, Mp 34 Reflector, Mp 35 Trailbreaker, Mp 36 Galvatron, Mp 37, Cliffjumper, Mp 38 Megatron V2. I'm getting to far ahead. I hope they also redo Rodimus and I know they will redo the seekers. Can't wait for color pics of Shockwave.

    Ironhide's MSRP is just over 10,000 yen. I don't see Shockwave going for less than that and not more than 15,000, the same as Star Saber, unless he comes with something like a Space Bridge play set of course:lol
