    Cool. But I'm sticking with MMC on this, they consistently create high quality products. Wish it were Jazz or Cliffjumper.

    It's likely that it will eventually happen. Biggest hurdle I see is figuring out a suitable targetmaster and deciding how exclusive the release will be. Heh.

    Meh, was really hoping for a movie character after Hot Rod but they gave me two Decepticons in a month so I shouldn't complain.

    If this is true, then yet again it kills the whole argument that "3Ps won't do a particular character because Takara is doing it" which I never believed anyway. It is nice seeing a new MP mold from Takara but I must withhold any praise until I see some color photos and the item is released given Takara's track record lately.

    They've been killing it lately. I had my reservations regarding Hot Rod, Ironhide, and Shockwave but they turned out great in hand. Ramjet? I'll give you that.

    That's nice, I'll definitely buy it and all the inevitable repaints.

    But I was really hoping the next MP announcement would be more substantial, yeeeeeeeeees.

    I can see it being like Hot Rod with a modernised transformation but similar and lots of nods to the G1 toy.

    Or maybe they're just functioning as if 3rd parties aren't important. ;)

    I would actually like it if MP Inferno was licensed. I can't imagine the license cost would be crazy... Either way he is going to be a good addition to the line.

    How long was it between silhouette to full reveal for Tracks and Hot Rod? I feel like it was pretty quick, like a couple weeks at most. I'll be surprised if we have to wait till the toy show in June to see more of this guy.

    I hope this one doesn't have the flaking chrome issue of the last 2 issues.

    Nice.
    Since Takara has been making molds that can be reused as other characters (Inferno>Grapple, Ramjet>Coneheads, Ironhide>Ratchet etc..) it would stand to reason that they'll also be doing Trailerbreaker and Hoist at some point.


    Keep in mind that we don't know how good the Masterpiece version will be from just this silhouette, it may end up not being quite as good as the 3rd party offerings. There's no way to tell at this point.
    Ironhide being one example of this imo.
