    In this case it's not to unreasonable. We havent heard any more news but I'm not dismissing it yet, or the fact they may roll both of them out at or near the same time. The decision to do Bee 2.0 versus Starscream or Grimlovk leaves one to believe 2.0 is part of their plan for something, mostly other monitors. If they have the license to do CJ they most likely won't hold back any more for Jazz.

    Possibly, but with the frequency that TT rolls out MP's, it is highly EXTREMELY unlikely that they roll out two simultaneously... and Jazz should definitely be produced before Cliffjumper.

    They rolled out multiple new molds before; Hot Rod/ Shockwave and Bee2.0/Blackarachnia . Think it depends on how long they go till the make the next announcement. More importantly it will depend on feedback from the surveys. I doubt they'll start releasing 8 new molds a year, but overwhelming demand for G1 could spur an additional release. Shame the first run Prime had the knee issues, we'll most likely get a reissue crammed in and they'll try to run off that. Strangely I have more optimism in the line than previously. It seems like they have started to find a niche in the Japanese market.

    If we are really hoping for miracles, then it would be Rodimus Prime and Galvatron.

    There, BOOM. This place would go to shit.

    This board ain't ready:lol 
    Most people would probably think they look good, the usual suspects would deride it for toon accuracy,panels, useless accessories or FT. Then the b!tching would commence in full force about why it isn't cheap enough for every chug collector to get one too.
    So yeah this place probably would go to sh!t

    I can only imagine what this place will be like with all the back and forth when MP Jazz is finally revealed.

    I still think Galvatron and Jazz would be great. Target: 2006 is 33 years old now, would be cool.

    If they make it a deformed vehicle mode like Bumblebee 2.0, then they can maybe skirt the Porsche license and make it work. Unfortunately, Jazz has no chance imo.

    Bumble 2.0 still has a license. Doesn’t make it any less likely that Cliffjumper won’t have one.

    Well, I can hope I suppose but this is a moldy carrot at this point. I've given up on there being an MP G1 Jazz or Cliffjumper because Porsche just flat out refuses to let their brand be used.

    Unpopular opinion:

    Jazz would be nice and all,


    But I don’t care for it as much as others seem to. I mean, for me, it wouldn’t mean much if they never make it.

    I’d still get it day one, there’s no doubt.

    I'm still dreaming of a Marvel powder blue repaint of Galvatron. A toy deco will probably be the closest we get, sadly, but it would still bring the T:2006 feels.

    That’s exactly what I’d want as well. I’m happy enough that Takara has enough canon which makes a + Galvatron remotely possible. But the X series seems to have ended with Grimlock.

    Yeah, I'd say the odds of a blue Galvatron are pretty slim. + seems like a pretty safe bet, but first we've got to get the standard Galvatron.

    Galvatron, Cliffjumper and Jazz - now that would be one hell of a line up for an MP release year. Hope this 49 rumor pans out, but I just don't know.
