    I got them through Dino Model on FB. Just contact them and should be able to get the upgrade kit.

    Absolutely. I hope to god someone will pick them up and produce that Ironhide.

    I actually heard some other company has the CAD files for BA Optimus, though. I really hope they go around to producing a DOTM version. The protruding abs are the biggest shortcoming of that figure so an updated version with a fixed ab/chest assembly that fits more flush with the rest of the torso (along with the gunmetal six-pack and pronged gauntlets too of course) would be amazing.

    Sentinel. Please Sentinel. I've been thinking about it recently and have come up with a reasonably short list of MPM/3P characters I really want someone to make. Plenty of others I might buy, but I desperately need these:

    Sentinel
    Shatter (she at least is on the way)
    Sideswipe (a better one than the bmb- which is somehow inferior to the deluxe- I really can't figure out what went wrong there)
    Drift (I'd take either although I think I like the TLK Benz version a little better)
    Ice Cream Twins
    Devastator completed (but that should be happening)

    I like Que and I’ll get him if he happens. But I really hope if someone does it they give us this guy as well. This is my absolute favorite version of Wheeljack and it would be a somewhat logical repaint.

    Toyworld. It's not 100% perfect, but they seem to have gotten a lot right. If she's all we ever get, she'll scratch the itch just fine.

    If I had to make an MPM (3P) wishlist:
    1. Ironhide. Someone please pick up those files from BA and produce that figure!
    2. An OS Starscream. Man that new ROTF repaint that came out is fantastic but it's still unfortunately only 1:1 and therefore too small for my collection. I need one that's at least 31cm+ tall.
    3. Sentinel Prime. We have multiple MPM Optimuses and Megatrons, and now even a Galvatron. We just need Sentinel to round out the "leaders of each faction" line of figures. He's probably my second favorite Bayverse character (after Starscream) so this guy is also high priority.
    4. DOTM Megatron. It's my favorite movie Megatron design and I need it in plastic form.
    5. Ratchet. Unfortunately I'm just not a big fan of the current MPM mold, and while the 3P one with the added paint certainly does help it only goes so far to mask the lackluster sculpt. I think a 3P company tackling it from scratch will produce much better results than what HasTak did. Preferrably with DOTM colors please.
    6. Dreads and Wreckers. The two fan-favorite trios (coincidentally from the third movie too) desperately need some love.
    7. Crosshairs and Drift. Come on 3P companies, Hound, Hot Rod, and even that obscure fucking WWI tank robot from TLK got the MPM treatment! We live in a timeline where a WWI/II version of Barricade and Starscream got figures before an MPM Crosshairs and Drift, unbelieveable! For Drift I'd much prefer his Bugatti alt mode please.
    8. Bumblebee remold, either DOTM or TLK versions. While this isn't a necessity it would be really nice to have one that isn't the 2007 Camaro because frankly I think it's probably his weakest live-action look.
    9. Que/Wheeljack. Wasn't ever really a fan of this character but would be nice to have for completion's sake.
    10. Skids and Mudflap...? I'll be honest I don't hate these characters like some people do lol. I actually really liked them as a kid. However even with my nostalgia it's not something I'm dying to have. Like Que this would really only be for completion's sake.
    Some others that didn't really make my list are a possible DOTM remold of BA Optimus (with slight mods to his chest and abs so they sit a lot more flush) and a maybe an MPM Fallen. Although honestly I'd prefer to get The Fallen as a poseable statue or non-transformable figure because he didn't have an alt mode in the movies.

    I’d happily take Bugatti form of Drift.

    I’m not crazy about the mpm Bb we got. But favorite versions were 70’s and black 60’s. If great toys of those ever happen I’ll grab them so fast (I know 70’s is rumored to happen this year- we’re getting very close to either an announcement or knowing the rumor was just that- very surprised a 2nd mpm for the year isn’t announced yet if we get 2). But I’ve made non transforming customs of both I’m very happy with, so I’m ambivalent now.

    Yeah I actually agree. I think that for an early MPM Bumblebee was really good but not great like some people make him out to be. I think he could definitely benefit from a heavy remold like BA Optimus.

    Also, +1 to 60's and 70's Camaro Bumblebee. Absolutely agree he looks better in those forms than any modern Camaro. TLK Bumblebee definitely is up there too.

    So if anyone's curious
    I managed to get a reply from NA themselves asking about more MPMs in the future and their answer was "it's our business secret, so we can't tell you right now." Take that for what it's worth I guess, at least it isn't a hard "No" :lol

    All good points!
    Agreed on all of this!
    I was lucky enough to get the dotm Que figure at a decent price back in the day but I’m still sad I was never able to get this version of it cause I probably wouldn’t have sold it.

    I'd like to see more toys of Bay versions of classic characters, like Prowl, Trailbreaker, the Stunticons, and a jeep version of Hound. And even MPM versions of ones that already got toys, like Seaspray and Powerglide.

    I'd love to see a serious version (mpm or at least voyager) of the osprey Springer. That was a fantastic design. The legends toy he got was underwhelming (even if appropriate for legends).

    Upgrade kit being made for Mista. They said they are not painted BUT will consider having them painted if enough people are interested.

    Good but unpainted kits are completely useless for guys like me.

    Well, if he doesn't want to bother to paint then, then I won't bother to buy them. The figure is close enough in my books to pass on this "minor" upgrade kit.

    The designer also said you have to take some of it off for the transformation. I think Soundwave is good as he is :p
