    Agreed, I'm pretty positive Nightstalker was just a way to squeeze some ROI out of the one of the otherwise unused designs...there's just no way they'd release it prior to the actual Steeljaw if it was going to be a simple repaint, IMHO.

    The name change after all these years just fried my brain. I'll never be able to find this thread again.:confused:

    I hadn’t seen those reviews. I’d be interested to compare to first release ones.

    I think too that Nightstalker not leading to a Blaster release is a sign of redesigned cassettes and players to come. I’d love to see a pictorial coffee-table sort of book about the evolution of the MP line with all of those old designs and how they evolved (or didn’t) to actual figures. It’d be fascinating.

    Fortunately, theres a show this month, I believe. Seeing Notrab give Bee the thumbs up also, leaves me hoping we get an another minibot reveal soon.

    I wonder if we'll see MP Starscream 3.0 in 3rd quarter 2020 and MP Galvatron in 2021. 2021 is the 35th anniversary of the '86 movie, and various folks might be interested in Galvy - those who get MP Starscream 3.0 (to re-create Starscream's final moments), folks who get Haslab Unicron, folks with MP 10 or 44 (to re-create scenes from Return of Optimus Prime), folks with MP Rodimus Prime (interesting they reissue it in 2018). And it's curious to me that they reissue MP-13 Soundwave - perhaps so folks can have Megatron, Soundwave, and a new Starscream.

    This approach could explain the FT cash-grab with the easy repaints of their Cyclonus and Galvatron ... TT appears to be interested in charging +$200 for figs, and they need big boys to sustain that model in the ensuing yrs ... a transition to Movie bots would ease the transition in collector’s minds, with Chibi mini bots sprinkled in between to lessen the wallet crunch ...

    It's sadly come at a time where my interest in TT MP is at an all time low!

    Thread title threw me off too..Much better this way, hopefully less infighting, props to @Superquad7.

    I'm feeling a waning interest too, I really don't understand why they do this every single time. In this day and age, we need constant information.
    I would kill for a job to create constant content and handle all social media pertaining to the Masterpiece line, provide weekly updates on insights to keep everyone from leaving the hobby during the lulls.

    I honestly wonder if there is a way for me to apply for a job like that.

    Fingers crossed we get a V3 Starscream or something cool soon, a baby blue fully painted, white-faced Thundercracker is high on my wants list.

    Thanks dude! Like others the rename completely threw me.

    Similar here, waning interest meant I stopped posting here years back. Totally agree on what you’ve said about the lack of information. So you’ve got my vote!

    Still excited for MP Hound (and for whatever is next) but it’s shocking how we had the ‘tip of a hat’ to MP Blaster with Nightstalker and then....nothing.

    I dnt get the waning interest aspect ... like the era of Roman persecutions, when saints and martyrs were made, the dry spells and periods of doubt will only serve to reward the true G1 faithful ... the wandering in the desert is always part of the greater journey ... :)

    Hey guys. Been out of it a while. I know Hound is coming. Anything else from G1 confirmed or heavily rumored?

    There was a rumor mp-49 is Cliffjumper. There should be a show the end of this month, where I guess we find out if its real or not.

    Well that doesnt do much good in this thread:p .
    Even though Titan Scorponok and commander Sky Lynx should be interesting.

    All right we seen teases of everybody's 2020 goodies, hasbro, 3rd party, bandai, its Takara's turn to show something.
