    Regarding that new gun he's shown holding at the show, most of us were thinking that's for a repaint (+ toy homage or Detritus), but after @Phamduc's report that 45 Bumblebee has a sticker sheet that wasn't shown in any of the promo shots, I wonder if this gun will be another one of those kind of unadvertised surprises?

    Fingers crossed. That would be a fantastic surprise. Even better if it ends up being silver.

    I dunno guys. Here's the thing, and I don't know if we just didn't look closely enough at the TTMall page, or if the listing changed, but in the accessory list for Bumblebee it does say a sticker:

    トランスフォーマー マスターピース MP-45 バンブル Ver.2.0

    Same thing for that 'surprise' Bluestreak effect adapter for MP-44, it actually is mentioned in the accessories list:

    Nothing yet on the TTMall page for Hound that could be deduced as that gun. Not saying that it couldn't be updated in the meantime, though.

    Yup, according to TTMall it’s China for Hound, Vietnam for Blackarachnia.

    Yes.


    There’s just something about this thread and puns :lol 



    New argument against Hound coming with this gun. Where’s Artemis in MP-48’s package?

    This could be made more humourous with TT simultaneously releasing MP Hoist.

    Honestly? He ALWAYS kind of did in robot mode. Hence the 'gorilla prime' appellation he used to carry. The extremely bulky and LONG arms combined with the weirdly short thighs and shins (which weren't helped by the way they 'hid' the wheels)... and that tiny gun in those huge arms also wasn't a great look. The biggest draw to MP-10 off the bat was how INCREDIBLY better the truck mode was than MP-1, plus the fact that it came with a trailer from the jump. But I don't usually display in vehicle modes, so I'm not the only person who didn't jump on initially until it was clear they were rebooting the scale AND it was available in brick-and-mortars around my way for $100 (which is basically a "what the hell, if they're practically giving them away" type situation).

    I still hate the proportions and I hate them all the more now that WeiJiang showed how easy it would have been to fix them with MPP10. But over time that figure has become beloved as: 1) the foundation of a nearly-complete Masterpiece line (if you include 3rd party toys, there are only a handful of season 1-3 characters left undone at this point), and 2) A classic toy in its own right... for all its shortcomings, when you think of how many official iterations this thing has had (Takara, Hasbro, YOTH, Nemesis, Dead, Shattered Glass, Bape red, Bape green, Evangelion, Ghostbusters, Golden Lagoon... and other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting, to say nothing of the various KO versions like cel shaded, realistic paint, mirror chrome, and alternate Shattered Glass scheme plus the upscaled AND downscaled versions), odds are that anybody who's serious about collecting Transformers has at least one of these things. I know dudes who don't collect TFs per se but who have an MP-10 (or variant) just because Optimus was such a huge part of 80s pop culture. This (and Soundwave) seem to be the MP TFs most likely to be in a non-MP TF collection.

    MP-1 was much more niche because Transformers as a whole were a much smaller deal (and, IIRC, far more beloved and desirable when it first dropped... the fandom went NUTS trying to find these things). MP-44 is also destined to be a niche item, as it's so damned expensive -- and has tough competition from 3rd party toys that are 1/3 to 1/4 the price -- that not all of the TF collectors will actually want one. MP-10 will probably be the last TF toy in a loooong time that pretty much EVERY collector has in some shape or form.

    I am thinking about getting this now.

    Is the hood a separate piece or part of Hound?

    By the hood, do you mean the front hood of the jeep or the tan covering? because the front hood of the jeep is a part of him.
