Looks alright. Face is a little weird, but not horrendous.

Was thinking the same thing. He's a mirror image conehead.

Hopefully that's not the final design & they tuck his real nose cone away so that it's less noticeable.

i don't think anyone knows what the numbering system is, either fans or at takara :D i find it strange the way some people get worked up about it though.

Still nothing to add from what I posted yesterday. Their allocation is confirmed but they are still verifying whether there will be a release date change.

NR might stand for Not Really, hence why it disapeared :rolleyes:

I've seen NR used to refer to Ramjet before, not sure where.

Yeah this has been doing my head in trying to find some logic to it. They might be throwing a letter in front of all the coneheads to separate them from the other 3 seekers. For instance thrust can't use 11T as it's already used.

N could stand for Nibbio which is what Ramjet was called in the Italian release of G1. Or it could be like 8X, 10A and 13B and not really have a meaning.

I think (from mp-10 onwards) any retooled figures had a new number while a repaint just had new letter added to the end. I did like that numbering but it can be confusing and there are grey areas whether a figure is a retool or not.

Considering that all the vehicle remoulds since MP10 (Exhaust, Road Rage, Red Alert, Silverstreak and Smokescreen) are all unique numbers the Seekers all being MP11 is odd, but at least they are consistent with their treatment of the Seekers and not flip-flopping. If they gave the new Thundercracker for instance MP-2x while Skywarp last year had MP-11SW I think I'd be a ton more annoyed with their numbering.

any updates at all from takara? one of the speculations was that something whether it was this or another diaclone car was going to be available for pre-order yesterday.

Why would the numbering annoy you? They could make a new Megatron MP-05DRGB24!!$ for all I care. I don't understand why people get upset over a few numbers/letters on a box.

But now that the listing has gone missing... I am hoping that Takara was so overwhelmed by the fans response that they decided to pull the limited release and do a full release :D

Another of Betatron's evil schemes now TT is testing us not just Hasbro :D

Some people like order and probably want a new Megatron MP too. You should not spend much time thinking about it all.

One day I'll get around to posting photos of my MISB display of Masterpiece. I have them ordered by small boxes (Eg cars) then large boxes. If I displayed them in order of release number it would look silly. That's another reason I don't get the focus on the numbering system.

There have been about 5 different box sizes since MP10 so far and the original mold uses (10, 11, 12, etc) have not even come out in order.

All the numbering can tell us is what shares the same mold and it hints at the characters name.

But the numbering is a quirk that Takara have been using since the MP-10 reboot and just like those black boxes the MP comes in, it would annoy me if they changed it. Through my work, home life, and collecting i really like consistency (not a big Ultra Magnus fan though).

I agree with you on the consistency of the boxes. I'd be annoyed if Takara went the way of Hasbro and changed the look of the boxes every year or so. My display at the moment is a mix of Takara and Hasbro Masterpieces which annoys me due to lack of consistency. After another year or so of Takara releases the display will have a uniform look.

I don't agree with you on Magnus though, come on????:)

Very nice display of boxes there. Now just wondering what's in that pink box.

^oh that is my daughter's Let It Go Lego...when tracks, road rage comes it will be covered :D

Well anyway just back to the program, just noticed the head is actually covered by the jet nosecone in jet mode (makes sense to make it longer in jet and so that head wont be too tall in bot mode)

To my knowledge no. PC went early, yet to hear from them whether there is a date change. I've been checking their Facebook page daily to check for updates.

Wait till Hasbro HK starts taking orders from it's retailers. Places like BBTS and TF Source in the US buy from Hasbro HK in addition to the HK retailers.

It certainly felt like a "buyers of 3P please beware! We are releasing"
kind of message.
