    It used to be MP Devastator was at the top of my want list. Now, considering what they'd charge for it, I don't think I'm even interested anymore. I'm still curious to see how they'd pull one off...but I don't think it'll happen at this point. He'd be WAY too expensive to release in one go and I don't think TT are big enough risk takers to release him one or two at a time over a year or two.

    So no Grimlock update then...got it. ;)

    It is actually scary I’m agreeing with you more and more. lol.

    I have been saying that for the longest time. The + versions are simply fine, they’re not bad. But even the best one of them all (Wheeljack, IMO) just looks outdated when compared to Sunny.

    I wouldn’t be against the idea, but truly don’t see it happening unless it’s the seekers and Soundwave.

    Is Tigatron really more likely to be the next release compared to Tarantulas?

    None of us know. But there’s a pretty strong rumor from someone I know personally that says Tigatron is finished. I haven’t seen the cat, but he says he has. I hope he’s not blowing smoke up my ass just like the rest of you, because a massive off-white and teal catbot on my shelf would be pretty super.

    Okay, did some clean up to remove non-MP Speculation.
    Please keep it on topic and refrain from posting off-topic stuff.
    Carry on.

    Agreed, lol. We might need a separate thread for people that aren't 100% 3P or officials loyalists and give out criticism and praise evenly. Weird that something like that doesn't exists yet. A sort of "non-affiliated or no chosen preference" thread.

    Either way, TT has gone too far into its new direction for me to jump onboard. If I did, I would supplement my collection with x-trans and DX9 releases. FT doesn't fit the current aesthetic, IMO.

    The TT beast wars stuff is pretty amazing. I could see them completing all of S1 and I think it would be really cool to see them get into S2/3 a bit. A dragon megatron would just be incredible.

    At the rate that Hound is (or isn't) going, TT will have released the next two BW MPs (please be Tigatron and Rattrap) before he sees release.
    If Hound is held up for an extended period due to QC issues being fixed, I really hope they release the next G1 MP ahead of him.

    I really hope not. I hate it when people release things before something else that was scheduled before. It really annoys me and just makes the wait even longer.

    Hey folks, this is a off topic, but I think the mods might forgive me in this case;

    I’ve just heard that longtime contributor, tipster, and all around nice guy tcracker has passed. There’s a thread called “tcracker has passed away” if you want to pay your respects to a member of the boards who brought us all a lot of good conversation over the years.

    I hope they are considered a Rodimus Prime v2

    Tigatron as the next BW mold could be cool !

    Rodimus V2 would be great. They just reissued him...but it could be something similar to MP-01 with the “last shot” release. If that’s the case, I expect nothing but good things from a second version.

    Forgiven.
    Let's keep this thread to MP speculation, but by all means, if you wish to pay your respects to Simon feel free to post here:

    Yeah, I think a v2 version without Hot Rod mode could help to get a better transformation, better articulation, etc

    If i am honest, I wish a complete transformation without split the trailer from the cabin

    It would be nice, but I think it’s unlikely. However I don’t want another Hot Rod alt mode that turns into a Rodimus Prime. I see as a likelihood, Roddy disconnects from the trailer and takes more trailer than usual with him to give him some bulk. The leftovers convert into a platform similar to the G1 toy. I would be genuinely surprised if TT went in the direction of Carry, since the alt mode is too small and leaves you with no platform.

    I noticed there's a trend in Japan that they achieve toon accurate combiner with massive faux parts leaving many extra pieces behind. I think Japanese will be forgiving if TT takes that kind of approch as well.

    Source?
    :p 

    Only non transformer I can think of is God Sigma and that's not too complex. Outside of Gundam and Transformers, I don't keep track of the other stuff. Bandai partsform stuff to a degree so it can't be that big of a deal. I think the only thing that would stop them is If there wasn't big enough japanese market to make one feasible. The Stunticons would be ideal, maybe Bruticus, I do remember seeing a lot of military kits last time I was there.

    Yeah a new rodimus Prime could be cool. Just has to not break his knees.
