    You forgot Shockwave:)  Looks more like MP29 though. Was hoping to see something teased, even though a MP Skyfire was rumored before.

    Nice cover art and all.. but new Million Hero Transformer books missing all those exclusive figures just takes the thrill out of buying them. Bleh.

    I'm glad about that.

    They were kind of stressful to get. And expensive. Artfire is now practically worthless but cost a lot of money at the time, for example.

    Kinda agree but at the same time exclusive Japan only Transformers figures were all the rage. There was so much potential for Japanese G1 characters to be released via Million Hero books. I guess the exclusivity had petered out significantly...now that the Brand Unification has occurred. Thanks Hasbro..

    Wants catalogs to return with each fig. Checklists one one side and poster art on the other.

    I wouldn't get to bummed out yet chief. The covers don't always feature MP's inside. Last years had a short spread on Beast Megatron who didn't make the cover. I also think this is the first time a MP got featured on the cover back to back years with MP-44.

    I'd like an official Hasbro Transformers collecting app for my phone.

    People should start getting this today so if there's anything worthwhile in there it shouldn't take too long before we see some pictures appear online. Cool.

    I had a peak in the new Generations book.
    Nothing earth shattering.

    They briefly touch on Raiden in the interview.

    For anybody still doubting, it WILL be a Masterpiece.

    From the way they spoke it sounds like it's in very early stages of development (or at least it was when the interview was conducted).

    looks like they've got the original designer on board (Kōjin Ōno) and he wants to make a better version.
    They also say they want to satisfy train enthusiasts with the vehicle modes.

    Release date is yet to be determined.

    Other than that it was just your regular design sketches for Bee, Hound, Blackarachnia and Lio Convoy. Also a few pages on the crowdfunded Unicron.
