    Sounds cool looking, probaly will be gorgeous in jet mode, but I'll pass. I don't display the MPs I do have.

    I am more surprised by the fact that it has taken so long to appear.

    I really hope it's not as nice looking as the henkei one. I've been quite content with Thundercracker.

    I don't get that either. Clear Microman were never any different than other Microman. My clear Geeg was just fine. Sounds like a myth to me.

    If this ends up being official I'll have to have a couple. If 3rd party I'll pass.

    Some dude did an awesome job on the custom Cone-heads a while back, can't see why Hasbro/Tak can't come up with a version that is as good or better for release. But I'm loving the Ghost MP Starscream idea if it's true.

    Official or unofficial I'm all over it, now the question to ask is "how much is it gonna cost?"

    If it's official then it will probably be from eHobby or another exclusive outlet, I'm gonna make my guess at about 200-250... might even go as high as 275. I'm gonna have to start saving now; I don't know weather to be happy or sad about this, it's good for my collection bad for my wallet.

    In cartoon colors, I think this will look awfully pretty, but that's me. :D

    Well I have seen figures with clear plastic that was substandard to the regular plastic, but it's actually pretty rare. I also work with plastic and the difference between clear and opaque is pigment. I actually made a replacement door for a friend's kid who had lost the driver side door to his '07 movie Bumblebee. He thought he had found the original and the plastic I used was just as good as anything else on the toy, clear or not.

    Also, I think an MP GhostScream would be awesome, but I can't help wondering why the OP hasn't just told us the name of the store and why he hasn't chimed in since. Makes me question the validity of this.

    If this is for-real, I'm one excited son-a-gun. However, I wish they'd slow it down a notch. All these exclusives and MPs aren't exactly cheap. :(

    Booo. Come on! Enough of the seeker mold. Hopefully this isn't the promised 2010 MP figure. Still looking to a possible Rodimus Prime.

    This would be a nice figure i agree BUT I'd rather have a brand new mold instead of another repaint of the seekers.. We need more Autobots in the line. Id be interested in

    Ironhide
    Ratchet
    Jazz
    Bumblebee Classic VW
    Magnus Armor thats not crazy over priced
    ARCEE!!!!

    Maybe Soundwave and some MP Cassettes

    OR hit up a totally different line like Beast Wars
    An MP Optimus Primal or Megatron would be awesome i think.

    When this DOES make it out, you can bet that it will be in my collection. I wanna have a complete MP collection as much as I can and this would be a great edition to my starting MP collection.

    I would like to see new molds also. The ones you listed would make great additions to the MP line.

    If this is released, Takara will have more seeker releases than actual mold releases. I'm wondering if mold deterioration will have an affect on this?

    Actually, I'd settle for a retool (new wings and conehead) of the seekers into the coneheads.

    It blows my mind to think of what a cartoon accurate Masterpiece Ironhide and Ratchet would look like. Get on it Tak! These guys didn't get any Alternators love and you can get at least two releases out of such a mold!

    Hmm... I do want an actual Ultra Magnus before the line falls into its own blackhole.

    But a legit clear Starscream doesn't seem out of range for the MP Line, though it seems more like an exclusive type item.

    As for my MP wishlist, since that's what the thread's becoming, what about an MP Inferno? With Grapple and Hauler? Was that the green one's name? Screw it, I just want the MP Fire Truck.

    Great. Yet another release of the same, defective mold.
