    No gap the size of the grand canyon, between the backpack and his back? o_O

    And a head that didn't turtle into his torso if you looked at him funny.

    It's already reasonably toon, but like Smokescreen if they wanted to go full toon for the + version, then maybe the following:
    • Deeper blue.
    • Make the flames on the hood all red.
    • Toon autobot symbols on hood and chest.
    • Shorten the wings, they're absurdly long imo.
    • New face sculpts.
    • Fix the knee ratchets.
    • Fix the neck tabbing.

    Yes, this is what I think they'd do, plus change his gun color to the same color as the bottom of his arms. The face looks fine, though more options would be cool, as well as a verison of the alien mask like the one with Paean (or MP39). I don't know how easy it would be for them to also shorten the "flying arms" (the toon has no white part) and enlarge his tail fins.

    In the meantime, I'm currently trying to make my own MP-25+ with the KO. I've removed the wings and moved them into the wheel wells (with tape for now) so they match the cartoon shorter size from the front. Wish I knew someone who could design/ print a part that the wings re-tab into in bot mode for the shorter appearance. I'm thinking a piece that clips in the hole between the doors that the stand normally plugs into.

    The part his head rests on actually clicks in place, locking it in securely.

    Hope that helps you enjoy your figure more :)

    Haven't posted on here for quite some time, I'll throw my hat in the ring.

    Rodimus or Galvatron would be good candidates for 2020, they would work well to display with Raiden as they are from the same continuity. Starscream is a runner up for this MP slot due to all the speculation and him being just as overdue for a refresh.

    MP Rattrap, small BW figure off the back of the larger Lio.. keeps the S1 flow going.

    MP Mirage - last of the great 2 left.

    MP Red Sunstreaker, since the reissues in the factory being assembled why not make the red one whilst the tooling and assembly crew are there.

    MP Detritus which will have the QC improvements that will be seen in a Hound reissue.

    Honorable mentions:
    Huffer or Powerglide as minibots, lots of interactive vibes to be had.
    Soundwave v2.


    Lets see.... Happy new year fams

    So it would seem that Rattrap is being heavily rumored for the BW MP lineup.
    If true, that's:
    BW-2 New molds, and a repaint
    MPM-2 New molds
    G1-One giant goose egg for New molds, 2 repaints and a reissue

    Me incessantly repeating:
    PleaseDontBeARepeatOf2018

    I love ol ‘breaker, don’t know why everyone forgets about him. But besides minibots, we’re only missing Trailbreaker, Mirage, and Jazz. I guarantee they will take 3 years to release, minimum.

    I wonder which of those 3 we'll get first. Wouldn't surprise me if it ended up being Trailbreaker. Probably the easiest to get the license for.

    Me personally, I really want Hoist. However with the other green bot just being released, I think my shelf can survive a few more years without ol' chubby.

    Being Hound was all we got this entire year here's hoping for a new G1 mold. Or two? Mirage and Trailbreaker/Hoist would make me happy =0

    I think we'll be getting news of a Mp Mirage soon. Right before Mp-44 announcement was official, we heard about TE prime. They are very similar. Now TE just announced a Mirage.
    It just feels like some ko co is stealing the early designs. Just a crazy thought, not a war starter

    I did not forget him at all or even Skids.
    I think HoistBreaker would probably be smartest to release last so you ensnare the collectors who think, "F it, might aswell just get them to round out the collection"
    With the eyes of a new audience coming hot on the heels of Raiden it would be cool to entice them deeper in the line with something exciting like Mirage, then again... A trainspotter/collector might actually be more into a mundane Toyota Hilux truck hah.
    I recon Skids has caused much debate in their offices on how to design him due to his marginal anime presence so is a bit of an outlier in their plans to flush out the S1/S2 cast. He will come through, I'm sure of it.

    Either way, I'd love to see them all.. My next-door neighbor had Hoist and I thought his toy was pretty cool.

    With the way the accessories are now, I expect Mirage will come with his parachute.

    Galvatron would be an excellent choice as I think he would be easy to design, would coincide with Unicron, could pair with a Starscream V3, a TTS Reformat transparent MP36 or even Raiden & would work well with the new 1 bad guy leader a year.

    Powerglide and Beachcomber would be great at promoting the new human figures being able to pilot, their scales are kinda forgivable and fudgable imo.

    Either way it would be nice to see something/anything! soon, to reignite many of our waining enthusiasms.

    I really hope they dont redo the seekers just yet. Finish the guys that dont have molds yet! I have about 0 interest in buying 6-8 new version 2 seakers when i already have the current series.
