I'm hoping hoist and Trailbreaker. Value for money mould for takara and will save me buying ft version of trailbreaker and waiting for their hoistQuote:

I agree, but i'm curious whether Takara will use a licensed Honda or the Sunbow altmode. I am hoping for licensed altmode with optional clip-on bonnet for those wanting animation accuracy.Quote:

We have managed to capture the age that was playing at the time of the show being broadcast and would like to keep the fever of waiting away by releasing more Beast Wars.
I want to distinguish between the 4x4 designs of Hoist and Trailbreaker in the meantime for the G1 fans, which will be troublesome.
I think Megatron and now Sunstreaker really suprised the fans & designers even!
I hope that Hoist can be realised with a few of these suprises. Alot of the masterpiece cars have come together.
We arranged the successive Masterpieces side by side the other day at a festival and they were very popular.
MP-39 Sunstreaker
MP-40 Dinobot
MP-41 Hoist
MP-42 Tigatron (should be relatively easy to do using Cheetor as a base mould)
MP-43 Trailbreaker

December release
$145, give or take a few bucks, preorder discounts etc
Ouch, that Sunstreaker price! My unofficial one was waaay cheaper.
Hotrod feels like the odd MP out these days.Quote:

Preorder up at RK:

So may be it will come with a bigger box same with Ironhide or inferno with that price :eek:Quote:

part count wise from a visual standpoint it already does look to have more than the old lambor car bots.
also they love your money and fans has been seen happy to pay :-) ;)
I am going to agree.Quote:

I mean even Megatron at RRP was really an eye opener.
And if you have Badcube's Sunserge, you really have to wonder how TT charges so high. But most will just say they paid for licensing etc.... which is true.
Lots of badcubes going cheap though :p
yup but thats because we have an official product now, just like Xtransbot Apollyon.Quote:

That is quite expensive for an MP car. I'd say some of that budget was spent on extra articulation, which I'm glad to see as a direction going forward.
Oh the early pics of Tokyo Toy Show are out and he has chromed spoiler.
Crisis averted. He looks sensational. What's changed on MP-12+ from the original?Quote:

Even for a completist I'm not sure if it's enough of an upgrade to bother. Certainly not doubles worthy. :pQuote:

Yay on chrome spoiler for Sunstreaker.
He looks like great! Looking forward to a splash of bright yellow on the shelf.
That looks very nice indeed.
Though the more I see of Sideswipe and Sunstreaker together the more I wish Hasbro hadn't mixed up their colours/toys back in the G1 days. Their personalities suit the other brother's mold so much better IMO.
Definitely digging the chrome spoiler on Sunstreak
He has a wrist tilt! How many MP's so far have a wrist tilt. Zero i think.
Liking Sunstreaker more and more, pictures really making him look great
Now the question of whether to display in bot or vehicle mode...
....And don't say buy two of them :D
You're gonna need three -- one for bot, one for 'toon vehicle mode and one for real world vehicle mode...Quote:

No indication based on that display, but hopefully the spoiler has swappable parts, because I actually prefer the body-coloured spoiler.
I reckon I will give him a go for Sunstreaker. Its a good price and he is an Aussie seller and I have actually met him so I feel ok about it.Quote:

Sunstreaker never had red shoulders in the G1 cartoon and they're going for slavish 'toon accuracy. Although it's within the realms of possibility of including stickers for it. If TakaraTOMY don't do it then I wouldn't be surprised if Reprolabels did.
I reckon that this will be the case. I prefer the chrome spoiler, but I think it'll come with both, similar to how Grappferno comes with the chrome and unchromed grills.Quote:

Odd, I see an indent for the lambo-badge but nothing is on it, and what's the deal with the spoiler, is it a sticker, because there...doesn't seem to be another one nearby.
They shown the other accessories and yet no yellow spoiler.
