    Sheer principle they should reveal MP Insecticons after the +$400 Fanstoys warehouse Insecticon find. I can see the comments now," I'm gonna stick to my FT Insecticons, who knows how much Takara is going to charge"

    Watch Takara's be only $200sih dollars right after the Fanstoys $400-$500.

    That would be a sight to behold.

    Oh no no no, I italicized 2022 for the sake of it being pure speculation. My bad, should have made it a bit more apparent, gonna fix that rn.

    Actually thinking about it more, we are in desperate need of a new MP Reflector set, and I think it's perfect time for Takara to step in and give the official interpretation of them.

    Same with the rest of them, though i'd say to a lesser extent than Reflector.

    Insecticons: Amidst a reissue of the currently paramount MP Insecticon set, I would like to see some new blood in the Bug Wars. Some extra faces as well as some lightning effects (for Shrapnel at least) would be very nice to see.

    Blitzwing: I fucking want Blitzwing SO BAD. I have FT Berserk on pre-order but i'd buy the hell out of an official Blitzwing. The only thing I think that would be a bit of a hindrance is the licensing. Not cause of brands being stingy but just being somewhat outlandish brands we really don't have a track record of. I imagine the tank, being created by both Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and the JGSDF (pretty much their army) would be easy, but Mikoyan-Gurevich/Mikoyan (Now under the United Aircraft Corporation) seems like it'd be a very hard license to get, I wanna maybe guess partly due to it being a state-owned corporation (UAC's majority owner by a 92.3% stake is Rostec, which is owned by the Russian government), though i'm just tinfoil-hatting here.

    Reflector: Already said my piece.

    Galvatron (the best for last): Just fucking make him already.

    I would love a MP Reflector. I think he would sell really well because he is a troop builder and you know some fans will buy more than one.

    Plus the third party options don't really do it for me.

    Bar one bad face (i.e: the grimace, which I never use, the other two are fine) Spotter is fantastic; I have him multiplying into the distance next to MP13 carrying compressed pink energon (cassette tapes)

    Might not be official but it scratched the MP-Reflector itch for sure. :) :cool:

    What happened to May's figure king? It's June now and I haven't heard a peep about it, anyways, hopefully we start seeing the final colored prototype of Skyfire soon so we can that out of the way and see the next decepticon mp.

    there was almost nothing in it re. Transformers

    Autobase Aichi is usually the first to report on the TF related contents of Figure King (but never posts photos), you can check it out on their blog

    Man, just enjoy the ride. I’m as excited as the next person about this line but the notion of “okay, what’s next?” seems like it doesn’t allow people to enjoy what we have on the way. Skyfire is at least a year away anything after that is probably longer.
