    The Combaticons always sort of reminded me of the A-Team members - Onslaught was Hanniball, Brawl was BA, Vortex was Murdoch, Swindle was Face and..... I guess Blast Off would have to be the van.

    I think Super Ginrai/PMOP would be way up there too.

    My take on the Aerialbots, whom I so badly want as MPs:

    Air Raid- The Sideswipe of the group. Young warrior who is reckless, impulsive and lives to have fun.

    Skydive- The Prowl of the group. Excels at what he does. He's the aerial tactician to Prowl's ground tactician. Studious and serious.

    Fireflight- Like Hound, he loves to take in the beauty of the world around him. Unlike Hound, this can lead to him not paying attention to what's going on around him. So, he's a bit of an air head.


    Slingshot- The Cliffjumper of the group. He's an abrasive jerk who likes to brag, but he gets the job done.

    Silverbolt- Leader of the Aerialbots. Brave, determined and protective of his troops.

    Since TT has made the Seekers, there's no reason they can't make the Aerialbots.

    Cool take on their personalities :thumb 

    However, per the bolded part: while that's a nice idea, they can't really be compared. The Aerialbots have to be able to combine. They're C-listers vs A-lister Starscream (and his B/C list repaints).
    They're more complicated to make than the Seekers, since they have to be able to combine with each other. That complicates not only their engineering, but also their possible release schedule.

    I hoped that what my 10 year planned showed is how unlikely it is we'll get many (or any) Combiners. There just aren't enough slots in a year.
    For what it's worth, I also hope I'm wrong.

    I'm all for TT just making individual MPs for the Aerials, non- combining. I look at them, the Protectobots and Stunticons as individual bots, instead of a gestalt.

    I'm perfectly happy with my UW/CW combiners. I'm one who does not need or want MP combiners, mostly because of the extremely tricky engineering that would be required for a solid combining mode.

    I'd rather just have the individual characters.
    :)

    Can you imagine the rage-filled posts that would fill these boards if they released them as non-combiners?

    It's okay, because it would never happen. It's not what the MP line is about...and even if they did roll that way, the individual combiner characters are too insignificant to be MP'ed on their own.

    I agree completely, I think combiners are highly unlikely. I was just imagining the outpouring of hate and rage that would happen if that ever did come to pass.

    I have a feeling MP Magnus 2.0 with cab robot and trailer armor is inevitable at this point. It'll probably be the 2nd figure to use the 50k yen MSRP.
    I'm surprised it hasn't by now since Yuki outright said he already started sketching it out and publicly stated he wanted to work on MP God Ginrai.

    Then again...there's been stuff rumored prior that still isn't out so there's that.

    Ugh, I hope not. As much as that's how I wanted Magnus to be in the first place, I don't want to shell out that kind of money for a V2.

    I don't think any of us do, I sure as hell don't want to. I just think it fits the bill more than MP-44 currently does.

    All right, the ten-year plan, all the way to MP-100. This was hard, Sam! I have to say, it's not so much finished as it is abandoned. Sad to admit with 52 numbered releases and a theoretically limitless amount of lettered and + releases, I was only able to work in one Minibot and not a single Constructicon, so I guess everyone insisting to me they'll never do combiners can rest easy find something else in the list to nitpick.

    I wouldn't mind non combining aerialbots, stunticons etc either. But I'm afraid not everybody will be this open minded about the combiner characters. .

    Trains are badass and Raiden would be awesome!

    Weren’t the trains Diaclones? What continuity were they animated in?

    That made me chuckle.

    If it was anywhere near close to being that list then I'd give up now and call it a day. Only 3 figures I'd absolutely love to see officially now are Mirage, Galvatron and PMOP but I ain't gonna be collecting these things as I approach 50.

    I think we'll see 2 of them much sooner, Mirage is anyone's guess.

    Love this!

    Fingers crossed we see some of these come to fruition! But wheres the MP Fire Convoy love? Armada would be nice and all but surely Car Robots would be covered first?
