Paying for MP-44 is gna be like cutting yourself for the first time ... hell yeah baby!!  

 

The deciding factor will be how many request TT gets for MP-44 repaints. Most of the MP-10 repaints weren't initiated by TT: YotH and SG were Hasbro Asia, while the BAPE's and the 7/11 and the Lebron version(s) were done at the request of stores (leaving only regular, black and evangelion for TT).

As @GearsRollo stated, the high price for MP-44 (even if just for the robot) would likely mean stores will be less eager to request a special coloured version for their exclusives.

However, I do expect to get at least a toy/plus version to come out of it, since it would fit with Megatron and to draw in the toy/diaclone collectors. Normally I'd also expect a black version, but since we didn't get one for Hot Rod (while that is pretty common) I'm not so sure we will get one for MP-44.

 

Well black version is my most wanted.

Probably cause the Deception representation in the Masterpiece series has been lacking.

 

Does anyone know when Amazon JP will take money for MP44?

 

at release

 

When it rains, it pours. Our dog went missing yesterday. The topper to a weeklong crap sundae.
 

I need something to cheer me up, because I'm seriously depressed right now.

Best news would be our dog found and okay.

Right now, I'm turning to my love of Transformers to keep me going.
Any new MP news or rumors?

 

Really sad to hear that, hope your dog comes back safe and well soon.

 

Very sorry to hear. Phamduc received early copies of MP-45 Bumblebee and posted a review of it in the 45 thread in News and Rumors. Hope it's able to lift your spirits a bit!

 

It's a good read. Totally worth the look if you were at all concerned about MP-45 vs MP-21.

 

Is is a great read, but I was not concerned about 45 v 21  

 

So speaking of 45 and his sticker sheet, could they be setting us up for a MP Perceptor. Would make for a nice child's play episode tie-in

 

I may read it later. Our pup us still missing  

 

So has there been any substantial pre-release photos for MP-44 aside from box art?

Kind of strange since this guy's release in two weeks....

 

Nothing lately. Speaking of box art, I’m wondering what’s on the back of MP-44’s. We still haven’t seen it.

 

Holy crap, two weeks?!! Kinda snuck up on me there Prime!

 

Oh no! I’d be beside myself if mine went missing. I hope you find the pupper soon.

They usually drop a bunch of stuff any day now. It may be that they updated the box a couple of times with confirmed releases close to the production line, so they’d hold back on them.

 

I don't know besides someone getting theirs a few days before release, they've slow-cooked him for over a year now, it's not much to see but him in our hands.

They'reven definitely doing the same with Lio, whose spread should be dropping any day now.
Hopefully we can get some good news in September

 

That's is really heartbreaking. Losing Man's Best Friend is very emotional. I would know.

 

i wish you the best

 

Sorry to hear that. Hope your pup makes it home safe soon to take some of that crappiness away. Keep your head up.
