that means hasbro going to release him down the track then? with their new MP range ....
i wonder if they going to do a thundercracker asia exclusive as well ...
i got to many seeker now that im going to skip this , lucky im not a completist anymore for MP .....
at least he come with megatron gun..!. finally a use for that little clip..
but no pilot and missile?
I am not sure they got the logo facing correct rather than upside down in robot mode which happened to sunstorm and starscream.
I am not sure about the exclusive right.
Tru had Optimus mp-10 and they just renewed it.
I am hanging for this, cant wait! Only disappointment is the Decepticon symbols not matching MP11 Starscream but what can you do?
Yeah that's my only complaint and they use the same color as the original toy but I actually like the lighter purple color then what MP06 has. Aside from that I'm still getting him at least he has the orange canopy like MP11 not yellow like the hasbro Thundercracker.Quote:

The recent "JP" Masterpiece reissues in JP boxes have mostly been by Hasbro HK, so were never re-released in Japan at all. But the packaging and details are mostly kept the same for convenience/cost. Hasbro HK even used the Henkei name and packaging template for some of their exclusives in the last few years, probably because it was easier, or looked more exotic, yet still readable by their Chinese customers.
Any time we get a Japanese release here (like MP Ghost Starscream or Gaia Unicron), they are from Hasbro HK, not TakaraTomy... because that's who Hasbro Australia deals with.
Damn... I really hate the way Hasbro HK have been pricing things now based on demand and existing secondary prices (with their reissues), rather than standard profit margins.Quote:

Hasbro America or TakaraTomy might end up releasing it in a couple years time, as they've done four so far between them with the MP-11 mould (Starscream, Thundercracker, Acidstorm, Sunstorm), and by then it might have been long enough since the last Skywarp was released in both markets to risk another release on a secondary character.
(Starscream and Optimus they could release almost every year and they'd still sell, but Skywarp shelfwarmed first time around, and is less well known to the general public.)
I've found it hard trying to find a MP skywarp so this is music to my ears, the wife wont like the price tag but im not passing this up
