YES! Bring it on! An empty slot in my collection for too long.



Dang, I’m excited.

 

My guess is that TC and SW will be general releases now that Hasbro is going all in with releasing the MPs through Pulse now. It’s not like it used to be with Hasbro having a separate release. The increased demand from them will likely pop both those guys into a full retail release.

 

*looks at pic*

MP Combaticons confirmed!

 

Blast effects for sure. Could be a set of null ray blasts & a set of jet propulsion blasts, or maybe something that doubles as both.

 

Well if he does come with Combaticon parts, MP Galvatron confirmed  

I think this is going to be a big year next year ....and expensive year, let's hope they got their q.c. together.

 

Personality destabilizer

 

If we get null ray effects, we better get two, minimum. I’m hoping for the cosmic rust chunk-removing claw attachment personally. A more universally usable Megs-in-gun-mode wouldn’t go amiss either!

 

What was the Cliffjumper rumor?

 

This picture:


EDIT: For more context, this picture was posted in September 2019. MP-49 Black Convoy was revealed in November 2019 for a July 2020 release.

 

Guess this was initially the plan, first 2 autobots on earth

Given the situation next year, I think they would definitely go with Jazz first with the Porshe license. I'm pretty sure in the last interview they hinted at wanting to work with the minibots, I thought I had saw it somewhere someone actually translated it non-mechanically.

 

If the parts rumor is true then I can see the Combaticons being after Raiden. Otherwise I think the next Decepticon is Galvatron.

 

They'll be using that same megatron gun from previous releases for the next 100 years  

 

Looking back at this post in hindsight 
MP 53,54,55 Jazz Sideswipe 2.0. And Skyfire. That would probably shut some people up, till the price was revealed.

 

Yeah, $175, $150 and $400 in all likelihood, and that's with AJP discount!

 

If they attempted Jetfire, I honestly think they’d have to bring it in under the cost of V3 Prime. Same for the Dino’s. The big=expensive thing just doesn’t work for 2nd tier characters, and Jetfire doesn’t have to have a crazy complex transformation. Like the Dinobots, he’s really big, but potentially not that complicated, and TT would probably design a little More frugally there, I’d hope.

Still, he’s probably start at 3 bills  

 

Ok I'm here now. Please do tell  

 

I thought about this last night, how it seemed like too much coincidence to time his reveal with anniversary.We took Arcee being pushed back due to the virus, but maybe she was pushed backed to open up for a different release. TTEmploy had mentioned he didn't like sharing too much unless he was absolutely sure because things change. So I can totally see that happening. I always look at is them running a draft board.I grew up a 49ers fan and Bill Walsh revolutionized the draft with his system where each pick was assigned a value as well as players, basically if you did you scouting well you were set up to improvise on the fly, the thinking was took out of it. if your pick is worth 80 points and you don't have a 80 point player on the board you dont take a 69 point player you do something different with the pick. Arcee ended up POing very well, I wonder if that changed some of their thinking, she basically left poor Tigatron in the dust as he's still on his first amazon POs.

 

I'm not a sports guy, so I think you're talking about feetballs and moneyballs? Is Brad Pitt responsible for stealing Arcee? I knew he was a shifty one.

 

I was always curious about this: do the Takara designers just work on one or two designs simultaneously, or do they work on more than that at a single time? I imagine it would be the prior due to the relatively high quality of each MP release compared to their third party counterparts (of course, the quality is just my opinion). Also, when reading the interviews for MP44, they've been designing it since 2016 or 17, and the finished product doesn't feel like a piece from that time. And don't forget, they hire real manga artists to draw schematics and whatnot, so there's more to this line than just designing the toys.

In fact, bringing third party companies in here for a sec, Fanstoys releases a figure by month, so I have no doubt they have designs for EVERYTHING. If you have a design for freaking Fort Max, I'm sure you at least have designs for every ark and 86 movie bot. Just wondering the pace of Takara's design team...

 

  You dont know about Joe Montana 
it was more about being flexible and setting yourself up for success, so decisions you make now may seem baffling, but your seeing a bigger picture. I think a great example would be Red Alert +, I wouldn't even call that reaction meh, there really wasnt a lot of" I need that"......till they announced Inferno and it fell into place. Similar to how they seem to be setting up Galvatron, since Nemesis Prime and haslab Unicron each release seems to keep leading us to where we can say " man they must be getting close to Galvatron." Will they? who knows plans could change again, but I'm willing to bet they have plans if sells for Starscream exceed or don"t match expectations already.
