    Reflector, I think one of the options on the last survey was a ringer anway ansd will get announced in the future. Blitzwing/Astrotrain could be an option

    Eh, if this started back with Hasui and he never got to finish,its something he probably made sure happened in the Generation line. Bruticus would be a no go simply because of raiden.

    I think it's Soundwave 2.0, they're barreling through the A-listers.

    Has Perceptor been rumored at all during the run of the masterpiece line thus far?

    I have to say I never cared much for him when I was younger and had only seen a handful of season 1 and the movie but after watching the entirety of the cartoon as it was aired in the US; I NEED an mp Perceptor!!

    He's the last of the 17" reissues not redone, but he would have been "new" still under Hasui. I dont think it would be anything we would consider a redo at this point.

    I don't remember him being mentioned by any of the insiders I am following. He has been listed on Surveys in the past.

    I just read back a couple post. So its not Galvatron or Blaster. Jazz or Mirage both have been rumored by multiple sources. 2016 by an insider and 2018 by Hasbro Asia Staff.

    Unless the "design shift" @Shin Densetsu alludes to is the shift to hyper articulation/accuracy of the MP-30s, as opposed to the shift from Hasui to Kobayashi...but yeah even then, I'm not sure a new Soundwave mold was really on anybody's radar until redos became a more concrete thing with MP-44. I still think he'll be really soon :D

    That's a lot of characters scratched out then! :eek:  Shin I understand you can't say too much, just a quick question: would you say this was a character being developed around the time Tracks was announced?

    I feel like everyone's name has been through the rumor mill at this point, but I have a vague memory of asking about a Brawn rumor and someone said something along the lines of having heard a Windcharger rumor. All I know is, outside of Jazz always being at the top of the list, with this Starscream that I'm banking on being between $200 and $250 on AJ and hypno-toad knows what Raiden will end up costing, I wouldn't mind a stretch of minibots and/or insecticons.

    Definitely on board with you there. Easy on the wallet and a slew of characters we need.

    The only characters I can think of otherwise is one of the minibots. They did show the design for Huffer way back when MP-10 was new. I'm at a loss for wholes it could be at this point.

    Was this expected to be revealed at one of the Toy Shows that was canceled this year?

    Years before that and not long after MP-11 was released or possibly before that.

    If I'm not wrong, Shin is the guy who occasionally hints that Takara and Porsche worked out a licensing deal quite a long time ago. I think this mystery figure may well be Jazz. And what delicious irony, if Jazz was finalized and licensor-approved back in 2015 and then Takara killed it for the aesthetic shift, and then they had to go through the whole design/approval process all over again! All this time, Porsche isn't the holdup, it's Takara themselves! :lol

    Expected by me? No.

    I actually thought we’d see more of Raiden before anything new was announced.

    Does it have anything to do with a set of rumors from Rocket Punch Army?

    Wow, definitely in the 10+ year old category now. If that is true maybe one of the insiders from the old MP speculation thread dropped that hint, but damn I am at a complete loss now.

    If it's not an MP of Time Warrior or Oreo Bot then I'm going to have to say it's either Cloudraker or Fastlane. One of those two. I mean, who else could it be? Camshaft? Downshift? Some other character from an old order form I just looked up online?

    I didn’t know they posted rumors
    I don’t think they did, initial source didn’t really post there.

    I’m the guy that gets shade thrown for vouching for cleaner and more believable jet modes along with hoping against hope for toys that are built to last, you might be confusing me for someone else.

    Whoops, sorry. I wonder who I'm thinking of, then.
