Also known as Prime Gets An Anal Probe.

[drifand]

I don't think I will see it here, if it does, I get one. But nothing to really shout about for the stand.

[nsm034]

hasbro yeah , not takara/ tomy

[Sinnertwin]

TakaraTomy.

[Bidoofdude]

If YOTH OP falls through, I'd like to get this. I might be going to HK in September as well. ;)

[The_Damned]

anyone got any idea where to order one?

[Sinnertwin]

The usual suspects: Amazon, RobotKingdom, HLJ, AmiAmi, eHobbyBaseshop, BBTS, TFSource etc... Keep checking back on their sites regularly. I'm sure we'll see something very soon

[Trent]

If its HK then that will mean Hasbro Asia. Good to see they are continuing their trend of re-releasing popular TFs. Get ready to be shocked at the inflated price. ;):rolleyes:

[nsm034]

TakaraTomy.

has hasbro on the base though

[BigTransformerTrev]

Is Prime planning to star in one of those deeply disturbing hentai movies where the hero/ine has an intimate encounter with an octopus :eek: ? Because that's what its looking like right there (we really need an 'ewww' smiley in the menu for that)

[Sinnertwin]

That it does, but the colour scheme is that of the version released by Takara. I thought that you were referring to which deco of the toy it was.

[seespotrun]

I find it weird that they chose to re-issue MP-10 now. It's not like he was hard to get the first time around. Hard to get for cheap, sure, but this Asian exclusive isn't going to be any better.

Your giving me flash backs to the Kiss Players Manga. :eek:

[k.wong23]

The stand looks good..wonder how much for this guy :)

[GoktimusPrime]

It's Malibu Stacey^Optimus Prime with a new hat^stand! :p :D

[lancalot]

i don't know if it is for this guy with the stand but TFsource preorder MP10 for $299

If you are thinking of ordering one wait till Robot Kingdom get a preorder up for it, since they are in Hong Kong you should be able to get it cheaper from them as it wont have to be shipped from HK to the US then to you as in the case of TFsource.

$239.90US

[Bidoofdude]

Knowing the RK markup, I'd say about $200-$220 could be the price. ;)

[serialmonkey]

BBTS emailed a pre-order notification out around 12:39am. When I logged in at 5:30am they were sold out already.

Luckily RK isn't :-) Probably cheaper even with my PoL.

[Sinnertwin]

Now that Prime, Soundwave and Sidewsipe have had a second run, i assume Starscream, Red Alert and the cassettes shouldn't be too far behind.

I really hope Starscream gets a second run!!! :D

[GoktimusPrime]

I'd rather see MP focus on NEW characters --- like finishing off the rest of the 1984 Autobot Cars (all the 84 Decepticons have already been done) and then 1985 - e.g. Dirge, Ramjet, Thrust, Snarl, Sludge, Slug^Slag, Swoop etc.!

You know that's not going to happen until TT & Hasbro use the moulds to an inch of their lives :p Sit back and enjoy the ride, we'll be here for a while :D

[GoktimusPrime]

Yeah but a lot of the 84/85 characters can be made from retooling existing moulds or they have retool potential to let TakTOM milk more money out of the mould.
e.g.
Bitstream <---repaint of MP Starscream
85 Seekers <--- retooled MP Starscream
Bumblebee ---> Cliffjumper ---> Hubcap (and maybe a ltd exclusive Bumper)
Trailbreaker ---> Hoist
Huffer ---> Pipes
Brawn ---> Outback
Windcharger ---> Tailgate
Gears ---> Swerve
Jazz ---> Stepper (Ltd Ex)
Inferno ---> Grapple ---> Artfire (LE) ---> Hauler (LE)
Wheeljack ---> Slicer (LE)
Mirage ---> Clear "Invisibility" Mirage (LE)
Hound ---> Detritus (LE)
Tracks ---> Road Rage (LE) ---> black Tracks (LE)
Skids ---> Crosscut (LE)

Sunstreaker would be tricky as there's no obvious repaint/retool potential, unless they make him the white police car from Diaclone and give him a new identity. It'd work as an LE (like Tiger Track).

[Sinnertwin]

Absolutely, GP. If you throw in the G2 & possible Diaclone repaint options, there's another avenue for mould reuse. Like yourself, I'd much rather the respective lines completed than the 'relaunch' of an existing figure. But what d'ya do?

[Kranix]

Stuff you guys, I want my Starscream! ;)

Nah I can understand that, just never saw Starscream at TRU and would love to pick him up for a reasonable price.

[Autocon]

His eyes look dead in that photo. Is that normal or just the lighting

[Sinnertwin]

RK has 7 of the Hasbro MP10 in stock. $199.90

My first thought was that it was just lighting but then I noticed his top-of-cab headlights are unpainted so hopefully this is just photos of a test-run.

Don't mind the marketing and the Hasbro stamp on the stand, it's the TakaraTomy version's colours. The light blue eyes, painted cab lights and blue Roller are the Hasbro colour scheme. Among other paint differences, the blue used on his body and eyes, unpainted cab lights and silver Roller are TakarTomy's colours :) Basically, it's the original TT MP10 with a bonus stand.

You forgot MP-11 Starscream ---> Thundercraker ---> Skywarp. I'm sure Takara would love to do TC and SW in the new mold to sell a few extra toys to us Seeker fans.:o

Didn't realise the TT version had unpainted cab lights! :eek:
