    One sets of Seekers equals three sets of blast effects. But two sets of Seekers equals six sets of blast effects. I hope Skywarp looks half as good as your digibash.

    Same happened with me, paid twice and got pp to refund the duplicate. Payment timeout so AE didn't get the payment authorisation. You will have to go through the report a problem link on the transaction page

    Honestly think Badcube’s Steamroll is quite good and looks great next to Sunstreaker.

    Cool if you like it. To me it's one step forward, two steps back in terms of aesthetics. Yeah it's trying to get closer to the cartoon look, but to my eye it looks much uglier than MP-12. Sure the face is less recessed in the helmet, but when it's such an ugly face maybe it should be more recessed! Pretty sure the right solution is to use fake tyres on the outside of his shins, since those 'discs' are supposed to be grey. Just looking at his shin now, it's just an oblong, no flare to it whatsoever. Ugly feet, ugly knee joints, ugly ab crunch - wow I'm not finding much I like! More power to those who do like it though.

    In any case when it comes to Badcube or MP-12, Sideswipe v2 will annihilate them both :wink: 



    Just.. GLORIOUS!

    I'm in for all three, who else is?

    really hope they don't drag their heels releasing these like they did with mp11


    been looking at pics this morning looks like it will be a really easy one to take apart to repaint just hope it don't have panels hiding screws with the toughest glue known to man like mp11 had :lol

    I doubt it. This will make good repaint fodder to fill gaps whilst Raiden is released, or while production is stunted as covid continues. Even TT needs cash, and this is money all day long, even if they go the Hasbro route if they reckon Japanese buyers aren't too fussed.

    They could do December '21 and June '22, or even September and December '21 depending on what happens.

    Hell, we could get all 6 main characters in 12-18 months if they choose to.

    Badcube made a good attempt, but I already have MP-12 who’s got a pufferfish face which can be improved on a lot.

    MP-52’s faces seek spot to me. So at least this MP is looking better as we get more info coming

    I'm in for all three too, plus the three Coneheads. :D  I really hope they update those too. I had Dirge as a kid, and my brother had Ramjet. Neither of us had a Seeker, so I would love to see the Coneheads get the same treatment as Starscream.

    Thank you so much everyone :D 

    @Sam I'd pay for all three right now if I could!

    @Shin Densetsu definitely in the works :thumb  (all three this time :D  )

    AE's done that sometimes with me. If it doesn't change after a couple hours, shoot them an email and you should be a-ok.

    You could say it's a jerk from A-to-Z? :rolleyes: 

    Seriously though, this. This all the way.

    I can't believe Takara's copying LemonTree!

    :lol 

    I'm still gonna go on my roll and say Sideswipe 2.0. Please Lord, make it happen.

    Same here. Either that or Takara can release it as an accessory pack that includes a couple other goodies, that would be great for both new and old MPs if they expanded upon that.

    Agreed other than I think MP-12 looks terrible too. Sideswipe is another character that has never received MP justice imo and I'm glad I never wasted any of my money or collection space on the attempts so far. No offense to anyone who thinks either are good and happy to have them, just not for me and I don't do placeholders.

    The three OG Seekers look good together, I'm only in for Starscream, Skywarp and Thrust though.

    I’m most likely in for all three, maybe the coneheads. Not sure, and it depends on how much I like the transformation (which I’m expecting to love).

    @chchchch , dude...TC and SW look like actual proto shots. I can’t even tell the digis apart anymore!

    Highest possible praise my friends! It's easier with these super high res images; I'm so angry at Hasbro for screwing with the colors on half of them that I sent a customer support request asking for them to be fixed. I fully expect to be ignored :lol 

    @Prime of Shadows you know you're getting all of them ;)

    I'll buy them all. I sold all of them (OG) as soon as the line art for MP 44 was leaked.

    God i'm hoping it's soon, but at the same time I hope they don't end up going full Seeker Fatigue like some 3Ps.

    Love the new logo by the way! Really is an amalgamation of what I showed off, haha.

    That's right! I had a sorta kinda similar embryonic idea, and @Sam and @HolyCulture had given me some ideas too, so I combined them into something halfway passable :lol  (special surprise if you zoom way in on the white background ;)  )

    Thanks again for the inspiration!!
