I bet it's just a typo. It'll get fixed.

 

The rocket launcher will be Amazon exclusive or what.

 

The shoulder rockets? They're built in to the mold of each.

 

Give it to me all at once, and put them in the same sized box as MP-10, packaged in vehicle mode, with the hands, feet, weapons and accessories in their own indentation (or in a plastic baggy). But that would involve some waiting given that the 5 or 6 characters have to be highly detailed and articulated to be masterpiece worthy. Never say never......who would've thought there would be a MP Red Alert, Bluestreak and the cassettes.

As for the Amazon.jp exclusive, it's probably going to be missile pods that you can insert into the shoulder cannons. Still have no idea what accessory gimmick will come standard with the 3 datsuns.

 

I don't like the idea of toy accurate shoulder rockets being exclusive. I think many already want them to add to their Prowl, I know I do. And with the figures already only having one known accessory, seems like a rude thing to do imo.

 

just feeling so happy. just preorderd prowl and bluestreak both for 120 EUR shipped, that's appr. 160 USD shipped. that is a great price considering i am in germany  

 

Most probably the shoulder canons are the EXTRA accessories for the Amazon version

 

The shoulder cannons are built in and not an extra accessory for EITHER figure.

There is a rumor that toy based (rather than cartoon based) shoulder cannons are an Amazon.co.jp exclusive. But there is no evidence yet to support this.

Maybe they merely mean the 'missiles' then...?

 

Dr. Wu will probably have something for the purists, much like they did the chisels for Sideswipe.

 

Seems like a lot of debate over a completely unsubstantiated rumor! What's the source of said rumor? Someone posted they "heard" it was gonna happen?

I think the chances of a 3rd party making the toy-accurate launchers are MUCH higher than them being an amazon exclusive.

 

Hasui posted 1h ago a pair of pics of MP17, this one seems new, with the rifle on the car...

and a close up (seen yet, maybe now in higher resolution) with this description (translated with google, not touched)

 

And it says Highway Patrol now  

 

Thanks! And what's also noticable: Highway PATROL is spelled correctly on this picture! So even if it's just a photoshop of the same prototype used in all the other pictures, at least Takara noticed their mistake.

 

LOL I didn't notice before (but just cause I'm not interested in this item   ) the thing  

 

Nice to see the typo fixed! ^__^

 

So what does the exclusive entail?

 

I would've liked for it to have said 'PATOROL' xD
I'd just laugh everytime I saw it!

 

A 3rd party will make all these little stuff,just a matter of time.

 

Everytime I see new pics of these guys I get even more excited for the upcoming release. Really digging the headsculpts, the waist and abdomen detail changes between the molds to keep them cartoon accurate. Takara is really stepping up their game.

Now if we can just get an Ultra Magnus to transport all the cars in....
