So is it me, or is anyone else here thinking..."Man...I can't believe I'm going to have to drop double the amount on MP Magnus because I'm just going to have to get the inevitable Diaclone repaint."


Seriously though, I'm almost more excited for the Diaclone repaint than I am the G1 release.

 

I wouldn't mind a diaclone MP Ultra Magnus but only if it was released around a time when I didn't have a load of stuff already scheduled to come in. That being said, the Masterpiece Diaclone repaint on top of my wish list is a Diaclone blue Bluestreak.

 

I though that Tigertrack wasn't based on the diaclone figure but on the actual ehobby exclusive release from back in 2000 ? Maz! You out there?

 

Tigertrack is a diaclone sideswipe.

 

It was, but the ehobby exclusive was based on the original diaclone yellow Sideswipe. So MP Tigertrack is also a MP diaclone Sideswipe in a roundabout way.

 

already double dipped on magnus and will probably buy a diaclone repaint and a yellow version ..you know they will milk this mold for all its worth  

 

Of course were still waiting for the seemingly obvious and essential Bluestreak/diaclone blue repaint. (although in fairness that mold has seen quite a few releases already, perhaps decreasing the need for them to dig up additional repaint possibilities- I can't think of any logical Magnus repaint besides the diaclone)

G1 toy colors too if they wanna be super lame.

 

Yeah. Maz's articles make a great read on the subject. Look up 'Who is Tigertrack'.

The photo I posted is of MP-12T with the ehobby Tigertrack. But I think the red shins and blue feet are homages to the Diaclone toy. Basically the only new thing the ehobby release brought to the original Diaclone toy was the name 'Tigertrack'.

 

Isn't the recent Silverstreak another Diaclone repaint?

 

I'll be getting both MP22 and his repaint regardless  

 

Kinda hoping more for a black Nemesis-style repaint. Why? Mp-10B, that's why.

 

That was more of a G1 toy accurate all silver repaint, but it's further proof that repaints are always likely with MP molds.

Further proof is MP-10, which not counting the Takara vs Hasbro version differences, has had a black "Nemesis" repaint, a gold trimmed Chinese New Year repaint, and will soon have a EVA purple repaint.

There is no way Takara isn't going to get out the paint brush and give Ultra Magnus a second deco, and eHobby would love to do a Diaclone deco for sure.

 

I'm just going to get MP Ultra Magnus in his G1 colors

 

Supposedly, sunstreaker was supposed to be red and siseswipe yellow, but they nameswapped.

 

Too bad yoth prime wasnt in G2 instead of having the transparent trailer.
