This. Dont even get me started on Bandai's SOC line.... lol.

 

Jezus. Its even worst with latest releases. There will always be some bad issues regarding both design and paint and finish.

 

It's too big to be a possibility but I really wanted Vector Sigma, compatible with MP-36's key

 

SOC MazinKaizer is nice to look at but the Winged Chest part is made of thin clear red plastic that is easy to break off unintentionally...That is a USD300 to 400 dollar figure!

 

A Vector Sigma compatible with Megatron's Key would be cool (I have the Hasbro Asia Vector Sigma but it's not compatible with Megatron's Key). Can't remember off the top of my head if Optimus got any Morphobots on him in Quest for Survival, the infection from Cosmic Rust, or ice cream from the garbage in Child's Play, but if he did it'd be cool if he got those stickers from Bumblebee.

My "secret accessory" will be my second copy being the clone from A Prime Problem  

*edit* Ninja'd by @chchchch ! Great minds...!

 

With our combined wills, maybe it will happen now!   I remember him getting Cosmic Rust'ed, but not sure about the other two.

My other pick, from Prime Target:  

 

Only Cosmic Rust. A circuit linker card from Day of the Machines would be cool, but rather obscure (not any more obscure than ice cream, though!). That piece of Autobot City would cool, or perhaps that green "sword" from Fire in the Sky!

 

Love the ideas for the plaque from Prime Target, card from Day of the Machines, and the emerald sword from Fire in the Sky, @Prime of Shadows and @chchchch ! Not getting my hopes up, but after Bumblebee's sticker sheet it doesn't seem impossible.

Btw, was Bluestreak+'s attachment piece for MP-44 unannounced, too? Or was that shown in the promo shot where it shows all the included accessories?

 

I believe it was shown, but not labeled for its specific purpose. A thought just occurred to me...a sticker sheet for Prime? Perhaps with stickers for his windows to crack them a la the Movie? He could come with several "cracked" stickers of vague shape to be put wherever you want to enhance the 'wounded' look.

 

That would be pretty excellent! If they could really be removed at least once or twice without destroying them, I'd probably actually use those!

 

Love this! Really hope this happens!

 

I think I might’ve missed something here. What secret thing are we talking about? And have other secret items been discovered with upcoming releases?

 

mp45 has a sticker sheet with it. And hound has that giant as fuck gun with him.

 

Even if Takara doesn’t, I have a hard time believing Reprolabels wouldn’t.

 

Yup, Bumblebee's sticker sheet wasn't actually a secret. I think because he was revealed so fast we never really bothered looking closely at his accessories list.
The listing for MP-18+ on TTMall always had an adapter for blast parts listed, we just didn't realise it was an extra one.

I don't expect MP-44 to have anything else, but I do love all your ideas guys! If those stickers that come with MP-45 are done well then I could definitely see those being a valid way of showing certain 'effects' for future releases.

 

Ah, great catch as usual, man! Have previous sticker sheets not been previewed before, though? Can't remember if Inferno's, Ratchet's, and Shockwave's were completely shown before release.

 

I don’t really remember. I do remember MP-21G’s was a complete surprise, but that wasn’t a mainline release. Not sure if Loud Pedal’s Diaclone stickers were also shown before or not. I think Inferno’s sticker sheet might’ve been shown off a toy show.

 

2 more weeks till Tuesday. For once, a lot of us will be receiving this at the same time in the US. Don't forget folks, Monday is Labor Day so people living close to the DHL Hub in Cincinnati won't get theirs on Monday.

 

I'll be at the beach Labor day weekend, so I won't be there to open him until Tuesday anyway. C'est la vie...

 

Syntax and lack of suffix aside, thanks for that and the laugh!
