There will be 5 MPs this year. MP25 is the same as the rumors going around (tracks/ironhide). accessories include.....something (my guess will be Raoul and a radio (blaster) in reference to season 2 episode 36 "auto-bop"). they showed a gray prototype and looks posability is good. MP21G (G2 bee) will only include a jet pack replacing the exo-suit, but the price will be adjusted and reduced

---

Bring it on!

US re-release tripticon, conheads set, blitzwing & astrotrain set, Perceptor & Blaster set: cassettes included looks like to be the animals, and the shoulder cannon on perceptor has some special purpose, rumored to be able to view slide shows

---

Keen for Blitzwing and Astrotrain, though i already have Astrotrain, it'll be interesting to see what deco it uses.

IDW Devastator is indeed Titan class, because it's designed for all ages, do not expect much in terms of individual bot's transformations (complexity i presume). displayed toy looks like a WIP hand-made (or painted) prototype and joints do not seem to move (my guess it's like the combiner wars at SDCC where the joints are hot glued?). for combiner wars, the latter half of the year will feature defensor, but for now they only showed hotspot but doesn't look too interesting. powerglide will have a purple decepticon repaint but dunno what the new name will be. other combiner wars legend class (like powerglide) include warpath and a few others that i couldn't remember. there will be a green repaint for the tank (assuming he's referring to warpath)

Can't be worse than ROTF Devs. Cautiously optimistic :D

The G1 reissues sound cool, especially Trypticon! Too bad they'll probably be waaaaaay overpriced...

I wish they would reissue some G1 figures I DONT have , though they are probably all too minor of characters/toys :(

While reading that Devs would be simple was off-putting at first, I'm going to remain positive. As long as the individual figures are well articulated and fun to play with I think they could be on to a winner.

The reissue sets sound promising and well thought out. I only hope for some kind of local release here as importing will be way to expensive. Will be expensive here also, but it is better to have the opportunity, than not at all. The only set I don't care for are the Insecticons. The Slide show gimmick for the Perceptor and Blaster set sounds interesting, although I really don't want another Blaster.

Trypticon with electronics=instabuy
Blitzwing/Astrotrain set with Astrotrain in cartoon colours=instabuy

Trypiticon & anime version of Astrotrain would be good. And it'll kill off the ridiculous asking prices on ebay. ;)

Anime Astrotrain would be great!
The rest I have but are great for others to get without Evilbay prices as you said

I never got Blitzwing and I do kinda want him, but not enough to pay ebay markup. I have Astrotrain but always wanted the ehobby version, if Hasbro uses the ehobby paint scheme I'll grab him.

I don't care about Devastator's individual robot transformations as much as the combined form being good.

5 MP's doesn't sound so good to me. 1 Skywarp, 2 Exhuast, 3 Star Saber, 4 G2 Bumblebee, 5 Tracks?.

The Perceptor slide show thing seems to be a mistranslation possibly by somebody that doesn't know Perceptor is a working microscope which you could use to look at slides.

I'm not sure Skywarp counts, which could mean 5 includes one more new mold, or a repaint of Tracks or whoever the new one is, but lets face it 3 new molds a year like we got last year is the most new mP molds we've ever seen in one year not counting Soundwave's cassettes.

If that was the case, G2 bee is not counted too, and we got exhaust potentially about to be canned.

I would say only tracks and iron hide are the only NEW items. If iron hide is in that is and so is tracks.
But people will include exhaust, Starsaber and g2 bee

that's it, isn't it? The new large mould released for 2015 will be Saber, throw in the two rumoured cars and there are your three new moulds for the year.
Exhaust, G2 BB and any other repaint will just pad out the rest of the line.

I read through OP's replies in the original thread on ACtoys


The 5 MPs planned so far for 2015:
21G G2 Bee
23 Exhaust
24 Star Saber
25 Tracks
26 Road Rage


OP has been very ambiguous in wording about Devs. Only confirmed below:
-6 non-G1 styled Constructions make a titan sized Devastator (OP stressed that Devs is NOT in scale with the rest of the CW combiners, much bigger)

And OP confirmed CW Hot Spot is a new mold.
