Wonder if theyll do a Slicer
Because tobacco advertising & toys, amongst alot of other things, are a no-no these days -just look at some of the F1 Ferrari Model cars who were also sponsored by Marlboro at the time.Quote:

As for the number, i couldn't care less. It's a freakin' Marlboro Wheeljack in Masteriece form. I'm preordering this sucker on sight.
Exactly, it's annoying enough that people refer to Masterpiece toys by their Japanese ID numbers when that's never happened for any other line, let alone caring what the numbering actually is. I'm sure people weren't thrown into a panic in 1987 when Takara didn't release a D-91.Quote:

'Lights", 'Ultralight' or 'Goldpack' would be amusing names, but again quite similar to existing toys. 'Fag' would be another Spastic/Slag/Slapper just waiting to happen. 'Hyperspeed' makes sense as it was already used for Prime.Quote:

There's a mainline of Masterpiece toys and there's the variants/exclusives things for the novelty stuff.
Soundblaster as an actual G1 Transformer Toy and Anime character and come with Ratbat an actual G1 Transformer Toy, Anime and comic character. That makes it more worthy of a place in the mainline than a new character based on a pre-TF toy and a background cameo in a Dreamwave comic. I'd argue that Slicer has more of a place in the mainline than Exhaust does.
Exhaust should exist, but it's a variant/exclusive/novely for Diaclone fans. It reminds me somewhat of when it was decided that a black Alternator/Binaltech Sunstreaker called Dead End or a yellow Hound is Swindle. The Masterpiece line does need some more Decepticons but I don't think this is the way.
Love the deco and new head, sold! :)
So what if they just make a lockdown head and pop into the Lambor, is this going to be a trend of things?
So going by the numbering this isn't an exclusive and will be available through the regular retailers like HLJ? I hope so as this is going to be pre-ordered as soon as it appears.
his face looks like a vehicon ! imagine have a whole bunch of him in black!! lol
