Dunno if it's legit - those spiral hubcaps look wiggy as!

That said - will be cool if it turns out true :)

I thought they were spiral too.... But it's actually a target symbol.... The watermark is giving you an optical illusion...

It very well could be. Something's different on the front of the van that doesn't seem MP like though.

Hope it's not legit. Don't want to pay MP money for an 80s Tarago van.

Anyone else notice the lack of panel lines around the windshield? Maybe the chest is made from the rear window like Henkei Ironhide.

Or it could be a concept prototype? but yes, the front does seem unusually seem free

I was talking to a toy shop here in HK today and they said their Tak Tomy rep had told them MP-26 was Ironhide... He was really surprised it hasn't been officially announced yet... so could be...

It's feels kinda unlikely that a render of a TT product would leak like this. Seems more likely to me that it's a 3rd party 'leaking' it while people are busy speculating so they can get more eyes on it before they reveal it properly.

Maybe the reason why there are fewer lines/seams is because it's a mix of the cartoon and the G1 toy (the toy having the removable weapons platform/repair bay).

Can someone ID what van is this?

I don't know why, but it looks like an RV then whatever Ironhide transformed into in the G1 cartoon

I kinda wanna pay MP money for an 80s Tarago van. God I loved the 80's. God I loved spending Saturday mornings with ole Ironhide back in the day ;)

So it is the coach type that is why i missed it when searched for just Vanette.
Hmmm why just choose a base model though? With existing licence from Nissan through the Fairladies it is not impossible to be an MP.

I think it has been ruled out as being a 3rd party figure on the global fansites... as it looks way too simplistic and too "flat panelled" in robot mode (it has no sculpting or texture like MP toys have).
