    Nah, I would say that’s just wishful thinking. They’ve mixed lines up before in the artwork to suit whatever they’re promoting at the time. I’m sure that’s just SS Jazz put next to MP Skids. I wonder if there’s any traction with the idea that the mainline figures are sort of a pre-trial run for future MP’s. That Jazz looks fantastic and I’m tempted to pick one up, but I’m not really dipping into many mainline figures these days. I’m trying to stick to vintage G1 and G1 MP. I’ve been strongly considering getting the season 3 characters from the mainline and calling it good, so I don’t need to spend money on S3 MP’s. They look really amazing and we as a fandom, are totally spoiled for choice right now. What a great time to be a TF fan/collector.

    Everything else on the cover is WFC/SS. That's just SS86 Jazz.

    54 is Reboost, but I get what you meant. Jazz as 55 would be cool, but yeah, I expect that is just SS86.

    In fact, I'm pretty sure the art is supposed to only reflect figures released (or announced and on sale, anyway) so it's gotta be SS86, even if Jazz was MP55.

    I think it means that we’ll turn any Jazz sighting into a hope and get reeeaaalllly excited about it

    Dinobots are big, but they have really simply transformations. If Takara can squeeze the "masterpiece moment" in a 60 dollar toy, a "black mambish" upscaled model could totally works

    Normally this month would set off a run of shows over the coming months, but Takara has pretty much avoided any publicity using them the past year, so theres no idea what to really expect. I doubt Skids is the only reveal this year, and from the interview it seems like whatever behind the scene issue Raiden had, has been cleared up. Whether we see something the next few months or later remains to be seen.

    Wild idea: scramble city combiners will have the leader that combine with an UltraMagnus like armour to form the central body

    This will probably be the case since next year's chug motormaster will be commander class according to leakers, and it's only a matter of time till takara starts to take cue's from hasbro.

    Since 2.0, 3.0 is all the rage I think old Magnus deserves a 2nd chance at MP. For me though they have to go the toy route with a white cab robot. However the robot does not need to match any MP Prime, 10, 44, etc.. It can be it's own mold and armor with the trailer. What say you?

    I'd definitely be down for that. A more G1 toy inspired Masterpiece would be pretty awesome.

    I personally would like Magnus to be the white robot with the trailer as armour. Always loved the white Prime bot and I like the idea of him not being just a straight repaint of one of the other MP Primes.

    Although what I think would happen would be something like Roadking. Black Magic engineering that makes the cap and trailer transform into a bot slightly taller than MP Prime since that's what he was like in the cartoon.

    Hard to say much since it's an early prototype.

    Does mean it's coming earlier than I thought though.

    We're getting/gotten 4 "they really made those" releases but no Galvatron, Rodimus, or Grimlock. Strange times

    I'd be ecstatic over Cosmos. Maybe they'll announce Galvatron or Rodimus as we get into Raiden for the Transformers 2010 characters

    I'm ecstatic over mp jetfire coz I don't have to fork out aftermarket prices for the FT version :cool: 

    Coz at the end of the day, TT will always remain the big fish in the MP TFs scene.

    Honestly all TT has to do is match the articulation and make it less than 300-400 USD and they win (especially considering FT ridiculous reissue price increase).
