    Ignoring is never the answer IMO. We all have the right to express our views, as stupid (not saying his was) as they may be.

    The dude digs 3P and feel it's necessary to let us know, here in an official forum of all places. Let him.

    That other dude will wait for the KO because he's so savy and smart, let him. Always makes me giggle.

    All those comments will be buried once this is shown.

    I sort of disagree. Soundwave would benefit a lot from better articulation, and not as much detail on some parts IMO.

    I'm happy with mine, mind you, but I could never say no to a newer version made with the level of love that MP-36 enjoyed.

    I'm kind of in that group as well, though I wouldn't say I don't like MP-10. I feel like it fell short in some areas that MP-1 didn't, mostly in the way of articulation. However, I do really like the alt mode cab on MP-10. I'm hoping that this new MP Convoy/Optimus Prime will follow Sunstreaker's example of an alt mode with real-world detail and proportion with a 'bot mode that follows the cartoon model sheet. Amazing articulation is a given at this point, and I'm really looking forward to a Convoy/Optimus Prime that will be on par with Megatron in that regard.

    Don't think cartoon Prime will look evil even in black, he will just look dead. Longer arms suits evil guys.

    I can see that too, or a remolded one. When Megatron got released he came with unplus Optimus,Starscream,and Soundwave. I do wonder if the reason that none of them were pluses was because those characters are popular enough to be remade or updated versus slapping on a different coat of paint.

    Hopefully this version will also come with a trailer, roller, and a normal size energy axe.

    I guess 13+ could get some new parts the same way as 29+ and 36+, now that there's precedent. Still don't think he'll get a total redo, though.

    So you’re championing freedom of speech and choice yet saying my choice to ignore people I find annoying, on a place I come to escape reality and enjoy my hobby, is wrong? Might add you to it buddy.

    I only dropped the 3P comment because of all the vitriol over a simple comment of not knowing the point of this release when there are others to make.

    And someone was thin skinned enough to put me on 'ignore' over it. I'm not personally attacking anyone over it, but based on replies you'd swear I did.

    If that's your reaction to his post then maybe you should?

    Please don't.

    How would I be able to sleep if you put me on your ignore list?

    Do you realize the damage you will inflict on me?

    Please don't!!!





    Not sure you read the part "IMO" when I wrote that. Please don't take stuff out of context.

    I'm totally happy with MP-10, but I hope this version is amazing for those who aren't. I'll still look forward to seeing more images as they are released.

    The very fact that he sold out means he was underproduced. If he was overproduced, he would not have sold out.

    Sooo... Stirring the pot is necessary?
    With how left/right these discussions can be, sometimes taking away the enjoyment of the topic or the intent, riling others up isn't exactly a good practice.
    Oddly enough, I kind of caught the joke for what it was.

    On Optimus, with him truly being the posterboy of the franchise, I would be surprised if they didn't go all out and do the trailer, Roller, axe, multiple parts and maybe even mini figures.
    And I would be okay with that!

    Companies produce on a formula that takes past sales and product movement into account (forecast). Takara produced what it did based on these facts. The demand ended up out-weighing the amount made, so they made more.
    It wasn't under produced, just wanted more than initially predicted. They made exactly how many they should have.

    Same thing happened with Sideswipe and Soundwave, where demand exceeded expectations and they had to do another run

    :rolleyes:  Ok

    The definition of something being underproduced is demand outweighing supply. When that happens, the item sells out
