[1AZRAEL1]

Sold!!! It was inevitable, but can't wait to get them and frenzy/ratbat set if they do them. More likely frenzy and buzzsaw though.

Awesome - at last a MP Ravage :D:D:D

On the plus side there's bugger all toys domestically to 'take our cash.' Other than TRU MP Optimus Prime, there doesn't seem to be any big ticket items coming from Hasbro to tempt me. Gives me time to save up... not sure if I want Rumble/Ravage though... I'll wait and see what the RRP is.

like all of us you will succumb to the temptation!!

[Tober]

I wonder if these will come bundled with the Hasbro release of Soundwave..? I don't really see Hasbro selling them separately, if at all.

First glorious coloured pics!

We can only hope, but either way Takara Tomy or Hasbro, my wallet will take a beating :D

[GoktimusPrime]

...the clever thing for Hasbro to do is to make Rumble purple/blue to appease the FIRRIB fans. ;) Hmm... as a RIRFIB fan I maybe shooting myself in the foot here. Mebbe I should get the TakTOM version just in case Hasbro goes FIRRIB.

[Tober]

First glorious coloured pics!

Awesome! Although I imagine there's no articulation in Ravage's neck.

(And LOL at the classic leaping ravage pose) :D

[James18]

Wifey will kill me for this...;)

[kurdt_the_goat]

I'm really excited for all these cassettes - considering the originals are so good, it's really impressive that they have at the very least considerably improved the accuracy.
There hasn't really been a transformer at this size since the originals that has had the benefit of todays engineering.
The Universe Ravage that came with Hound had the advantage of a wider stance, but lacked heaps of articulation compared to the original.

[canofwhoopass_87]

Ah cool! If they're starting to release add on stuff to other MP's, let's hope for some Ultra Magnus armour too!

Making a big call here man. No modern version of any G1 character lacks articulation over it's original 80's toy :p

[kurdt_the_goat]

It's indisputable! G1 Ravage has toe articulation!

[Lord_Zed]

They look very nice, all the G1 details are there.

After having a look at the latest FOC and Prime toys in the shops today (and not buying any), I can't help but think overpriced higher end toys are the last bastion of the TF collector. At least for me.

FIRRIB. It's already been settled

ORGASM PANTS AWAY!

4200 yen. I am happy with that. Ooo, up your TF Prime. No more toys for me thanks, I don't care how nice the tank vehicon may look now!

[gamblor916]

Those cassettes look oh so sweet. Take that FIRRIB!

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

Welp, sorry wallet, looks like I'm picking up MP Soundwave and his little friends.

[Kazza]

Wait, are they are dedicating MP 15 and 16 to just soundwave's cassettes? I'm actually angry about this, they should just release them as one MP set not 2. Not only that, i always thought masterpiece's were reserved for important individual characters not small group based characters. I was hoping that Ironhide or Ratchet's igear versions where going to be announced as the next takara tomy MP's, but guess that wont be happening.:mad:

[ITZTRU]

important individual characters

like Sideswipe? And Red Alert...?

I think Ravage is an important character. Plus Soundwave is IMO, incomplete without any minions. PLus they are cheap enough (relatively speaking). Go buy an igear Ratchet :p

Well, red alert had that one episode...
:p

[Starscream77]

2012/13 = MP heaven. How many more can we get in a 6 month period???
Love it, but my bank account won't :D
I vote MP Hound next

[Kazza]

Yeh i'm well aware that some characters aren't as unique as others, but at least sideswipe and red alert are there own characters (red alert should just be MP-12A or something), they're not based on a team. Ravage, buzzsaw, frenzy and rumble, are just soundwave's underlings. I dont think they are worthy of a masterpiece in their own right.

[Tober]

There's never been a lot of continuity to the Masterpiece line, except repaints, except MP-5 Megatron...

I'd expect eHobby to release a Cobalt Sentries set in about 6 months as well. Not so sure about Kiss Players or their other variants.

[Kazza]

I would love to see takara try out some other characters, maybe some masterpiece's from beast wars, would love to see a masterpiece version of tigerhawk or dinobot.

That would be cool

And hard I reckon.

Still waiting for myMP Glavatron TAkTom

Yes i've seen you mention that in another thread, that too would be awesome, and i would of expected a g1 version of bumblebee masterpiece by now, cant believe the movie bumblebee beat g1 at getting a MP release. But i fear with MP15 and MP16, we might see future releases of MP splitting up characters and teams, e.g. combiners (if they are ever considered to be released as mp's), and cause most jap MP's have to be imported, importing extra boxes cost money and takes up space.

[Jinto]

I was um-ing and ah-ing over the Perfect Effect Cassette Bots for a while. I love me some Ravage though so for the same price I'll probably go for these bad boys.

[Bidoofdude]

That would be cool

We all are bro... we all are. *pats back*

Yeah ...the traitorous schizoid of an autobot...

The cassettrons are what make Soundwave and Blaster ( lets hope they make him as well... all the more appealing. He has an army inside him :D

[Hursticon]

This pair will all be the perfect compliments to a Chrazimatic Masterpiece: Bought, also. :D

[bowspearer]

Well; the pics released today, coupled with HLJ's Preorder price, nearly brought a tear to my eye... A bloody happy one! :eek::D
