    @jackisking, the likes for our respective coughing fits have become an impromptu poll: Jazz or Mirage?

    You are currently 6 shouts up to my 5. Ya bastard! :D :p 

    There can only be one winner, folks! Tune in next week for Scatman, Gitanes, or bust!

    There was Cliffjumper being bounced off of Brawn.

    Not turning that down,I think TF Wiki associates him with Brawn and Windcharger. Brawn or Gong is one of the minibot names you hear a lot that people want next. I would definitely rank him and Huffer ahead of some of the others. Maybe Cosmos is more popular than we guess also , Adams is a much cooler sounding name than Cosmos for an UFO.

    Since they had a design of an MP Huffer, would that be worth a quick re-visit? I’m thinking a total redesign considering how far we’ve come. A chibi Huffer to match a chibi Cliffjumper would be the bees knees.

    Edit: Pardon me I've just now found the concept art for the mp huffer that never was. Masterpiece_Huffer.jpg

    Yeah he was originally planned to come with MP-10. But the hydrogen collider and CERN happened and now our lives and existences are VERY different.

    I'd completely forgotten that Bee was originally gonna have articulated hands.
    So glad that the MP line is no longer being held back by strict budgets.

    That’s not what the prototype showed. MP-21 has a fake hole for a pin joint in his hands where other MPs would actually get a pin for finger articulation. The prototype never had finger articulation. The original sketch did have a wrist swivel though

    I think based on the weird thumb placement there was never a plan for finger articulation. Too damn small

    Honestly if you ask me it's a shame. The aesthetic of that Huffer concept is just *chef's kiss*.

    I'm beginning to think when these alt modes pics are actually revealed it will be an official reveal. Two months of no Transformers news in Figure King, it's about time for the dam to break with something new. Could be something like Inferno and Grapple with this, line art of the remolded parts from mp-45 or we'll finally see Raiden or Skyfire line work or prototype.

    If the test shot wouldn't have leaked I would be rather content with Nightbird and Crosscut and the releases coming up. Darn leakers

    Honestly, if people feel they're part of the conversation and want to chat back, we've hit exactly the note we want. A pub conversation about toys among mates. Thanks so much!

    That reminds me - still haven't listened to my moment of fame! Haven't found 2+ hours free yet to listen :( . Unless somebody knows the time stamp? :)

    No offense, but I'm going with the recently revealed 3P option this go-round.

    NOT because of hate for BB 2.0!
    Rather because I want a similar difference between my chibi-minis as I got between these guys:

    Bee and Cliff aren't supposed to be like the Seekers; I want them to look like different manufacturers' take on the same end goal.
