    So let’s see...likely accessories for hound:

    Cage for ravage
    Key for cage
    Pistol (obviously)
    Visor (if it’s not integrated)
    Alt. mode turret (if it’s not integrated)
    Holo-driver
    Butt golf club
    Attitude adjuster
    Two additional hound figures
    3 foot tall autobot
    Spare roof that can be attached in alt. mode
    Water skis for alt. mode
    A football
    A hollow boulder that he can hide under

    Some of these are more likely than others...

    Well he never moves or transforms in the episode so with Takara's current obsession with "toon accuracy" he wouldn't need any joints at all. So that should lower the price tag considerably. :)

    I've been saying for a while now that I wish someone would make better humans. Preferably a whole line, since there are not just loads of toon characters but also some really cool Marvel comic humans too. But if TT started the ball rolling that would be great: something like the old Human Alliance scale.
    Oh gawd I can't stand the Raoul type figures, they're like something you'd expect to find on a cheap board game! Plus, the only thing more useless than a human molded into a standing pose is one permanently frozen in a sitting position! :lol  And the humans are going to need articulation so they can hopefully either sit in Hound or stand beside him. I wouldn't worry about seam lines as there were almost always convenient lines in the character model designs so that animators could move a person's arm (for example) without having to redraw the rest of them. I agree that articulation on lesser clothed humans looks odd - when you see it on wrestling figures etc - but for the most part clothes will provide natural break points.

    I don't know why I love the Chip Chase that came with Sunstreaker so much though. I'd be happy for others if they started introducing bigger articulated figures. Happy for Masterpiece Theatre as well :thumb 

    Maybe we'll just get the fixed-seated hologram driver from Arrival on Cybertron, then.

    I would think these are all quite likely. Especially the two extra Hounds and the 3ft y’all Holobot.
    Something has to account for Kobayashi’s bloated budgets...

    Regarding the speculation of MP Prime 3.0 that would never happened, it comes from my personal observations from many toy blogs in China mainland, and it was not verified from my suppliers or friends in Hasbro Asia. I'm glad that I was wrong about it, and MP Prime 3.0 is truly amazing.

    BTW, I really hate the way how MP Hound's cannon is hung above his shoulder, how I really hope there is another way to resolve this. Cheers.

    I particularly love the Raul minifig & couldn't have put my finger on the reason why--but that's it! I love board games!

    If he comes with just the boulder accessory, instant buy.

    May I suggest to add a hologram generic human driver as seen in MTMTE.

    But really, the boulder is actually one of the easier options if it's a printed paper craft, like Soundwave's displays and Energon cube inserts.

    I have to ask- how many people would actually use all these accesories? Unless they are weapons, I leave everything in the box. I have a feeling that many keep these trinkets in the box after a use or 2 as well. Would rather they not include a whole bunch of useless accesories and keep the cost down

    I know some like the extra accessories. I personally don’t. They stay in the boxes. Sometimes I sell them to offset costs. I would be happy with just the weapons and no gimmicks. Just a good solid transforming figure. Keep it simple. But even then I don’t display them with weapons.

    They didn’t fix it on her. My copy of Tracks had no problem with that neck joint. But my Road Rage has it. I tried clear nail polish to add some thickness and it made little to no difference.

    Been clicking that panel up for ages. And I’ve not ever felt like it was even close to breaking. Sounds like there’s some variance in that part.

    You're not too far from reality my friend!
    Even if my big long hands and fingers come handy when playing a six string bass, they're a chore when modern technological devices are involved!
