    Really hope the three remaining Decepticons will have the same "recreate the death" gimmicks that Megs and Jazz have (i.e. removable left arm and battle damaged chest for Brawl and removable/battle damaged head for Bonecrusher).

    Yeah those OS KOs aren’t cutting it anymore. Also with WJ Optimus coming out soon, their own OS Blackout won’t be in scale anymore. Which is funny yet disappointing

    It seems like rumour about MPM Starscream was false or did I miss something?

    I think the same rumours that told us about Barricade, Jazz, Ironhide, Bee Movie Bumblebee, and Megatron also mentioned Starscream. So I'm confident he will be the next MPM, or at least be released next year. Strangely, the last couple have come in a different order than the rumor stated, so perhaps Hasbro did some shuffling. In any case, I hope it's him and Ratchet next year.

    No the rumor in question said specifically that there would be three new MPMs, Megatron Jazz and Starscream. Also there was a rumor on an MPM ROTF figure, which we have yet to hear more about. Now, as for Megatron and Jazz, those were obviously correct, so it's safe to assume that Starscream is next. Although I'd be surprised if we see him before next year starts...

    And as for the potential MPM Ratchet, we only assume he's coming soon possibly with Starscream because he's the last of the 2007 movie Autobots to get an MPM figure.

    On a personal note, I hope they release those two next, but then afterwards work harder on the 2007 decepticons and don't just jump to the ROTF characters and completely overlook them... I hope Brawl Bonecrusher AND Blackout get their MPM figures before 2025. And here's to hoping for a Frenzy and Scorponok too.

    Thanks. Maybe Hasbro switched Starscream with Megatron, because they have plan for Studio Series Megatron on the way.

    It would be nice to have full cast from first movie in Masterpiece scale.

    Let there be MPM Blitzwing.

    Yep. Until then, I'm still using WeiJiang's Blackout and Brawl and Dream Factory's Bonecrusher. Best substitutes we got.

    One thing that could be taken into account for is that maybe Hasbro might also release an mpm Optimus Prime based off the Bumblebee movie. Mpm-7 kinda came out of no where, and the design for Optimus in that movie is loved, so maybe they have something planned. Complete speculation tho

    Man I'd rather have a revamped MPM-4 first.

    While I'm sure Bumblebee's a good movie and the G1 inspired designs are very much appreciated, to me Transformers movie franchise pretty much finished after the 3rd one.

    I wonder when and if they’ll do that. Most likely as a ROTF mpm re release maybe? If the mpm line makes it to DOTM I can definitely see a revamped mpm prime since the DOTM Optimus design is different with the abs

    F1FBB5C9-A35E-4AC2-BF61-30531835790D.jpeg Found this on Instagram, description says they’re KOs but I have a feeling they might just be more stolen factory rejects.

    Pretty sure lt02 does that with exception to the breakages.

    That doesn’t fully count, it’s a KO. Also I meant from a design standpoint, not QC. I should’ve been more specific lol

    Hopefully hastak learns from what went wrong with mpm4, and take some cues from the black apple os ko.

    The BA Prime has pretty much all the improvements MPM 4 needed except for having his hands remove for the swords. I don’t think Hastak would be opposed to removable hands on an Optimus V2 since Megatron does the same thing.
