    MP-45 is shaping up to be the figure I didn't know I wanted. I'm looking forward to this!

    Great example.
    That would make sense. Like if they made an MP-44+ they could include Diaclone stickers to go across the trailer.
    Never liked hints. They mostly lead me nowhere.

    Would I spend $400 on a Diaclone sticker?




    Yes. Yes I would. :crazy: 

    They're not hinting at Perceptor. Jack's going to sprain something, reaching like that.

    Oh yeah of little faith:lol 
    Perceptor has a good a chance as Blaster considering he was originally from the Microchange line. He's arguably more of a player in the cartoon than Shockwave.

    Arguably nothing. He was actually in the movie and had a major role in Season 3.

    Sure, Perceptor's a major player across two seasons plus the Movie, and his Microchange origins place him right in the sweet spot of the Masterpiece line. But like Digger pointed out, they release stuff all the time that can be taken as hints, and nothing comes of it, at least not for years. MP Perceptor? Yeah, most likely. MP-49 or 50? No. :lol  No.

    Oh yeah, and considering I’m not buying the original Convoy 3.0 I’d totally be down. Also gives me an excuse to explain what Diaclone is in my fanfic.
    Right okay. Perceptor would be nice. Although knowing me I’ll just buy the Chairman retool.
    What does GOAT mean again?

    I liked almost everything about this figure from the start except for the back of those feet. While this may be old news it looks like it is not as bad as originally advertised. Can't wait for this next month.

    Indeed (at least imo.) The feet have never bothered me either, and almost all the MPs have giant clompers. As for the kibble in general...

    Masterpieces are not permitted to have glaring non-toon-accurate (or non-movie-accurate) window (or other car part) kibble anywhere on the rear portion of their bot modes!

    Except for all the ones that do:

    ...
    but Bee 2.0's stick out a little further so it's unacceptable.

    (I'm sorry, I had to. Forgive me.)

    Would be pretty weird if they weren't, right? "Here's homages to single episodes for you to use once for a photo and then throw in the trash"

    That said, MP-21G came with the I <3 Cybertron and 180 Deceps stickers that only appeared in one panel of the comics.
    I'm not expecting a fully reusable type, but if they're made of stronger material, but also with a weaker glue, and they could be used a few times, then that'd be cool.


    Man @AnonymousDwell, that Bee pic is giving me major nostalgia to 2014...

    [​IMG]


    I remember the tease in June 2013 from BBTS, the long wait for our first silhouette (maybe Jan/Feb 2014?), then the first grey prototypes, also showing off his height alongside Prowl. Good ol' Hasui and his Twitter.
    The reveal of MP-45 was the polar opposite. A tease from @TTemploy and then bam full-colour prototype on display at a toy show, official pics a few days later. And just under 8 months between reveal and release, rather than MP-21's 18 months.

    MP-21's announcement is what made me join these boards, and gradually dive back into the MP line. Only had 20th Annie Prime until that point, was still waiting for his arm sticker to come true. Didn't take me long to realise I was gonna need a Prime in the proper scale to my new Bumblebee, MP-10 was bought soon after. History repeating itself 5 years later, with versions I'm even more amazed by.

    Seems generally like a weird idea to me. Seems more like a photo shoot thing. Or if you display your figures in a particular episode.

    tested. I don't know much about different type of sticker / decal , but the adhesive doesnt lose all of it after one stick on the figure. the adhesive will last for some more uses.

    Are the stickers easy to remove from the figure?
