I saw that. I thought it was a custom job thb. If it is either though, definitely interested.

Take this with a grain of salt but it has been reported on The Allspark that the next set of MPs will be Dinobot, Blaster, Trailbreaker, a two-pack of Autobot Mini-Cassettes, and Twincast.
If this is true, and I really hope it is, I am certainly glad I didn't give into temptation and get the KFC not-Blaster :p
I was also hoping for more cons :(
Hmm hope that's true. I'll be locked in for MP Blaster!
I'm glad I didn't give in to temptation with one of those 500 3P Trailbreakers. Hope Trailbreaker is coming as he is my most favourite Autobot.:D
I expected Hoist and trailbreaker, but I am not interested in those already.
I am happy with the 3p trailbreaker and hoist available and honestly I dont think I care about the TT one.
Blaster, I am not a fan. and if prices are ridiculous, I won't be keen.
No Jazz,
Mirage
Hound
Insecticons? come on....seriously not sure what the hell is this even taking long.
Reflector? easy diaclone there..urm...
sigh....move along drifand there isn't anything. lol
In the interview with the designer for Sunstreaker, Trailbreaker and Hoist were all but confirmed.
That said, I thought they were alternating G1 and Beast Wars releases going forward?
Are the BW releases popular enough to do that?
Given they have already done Magnus and Hot Rod I am not surprised that they are going with Blaster (and an easy redeco in Twincast). They can reuse that mold over and over... Shattered glass Blaster and Soundwave set!
...these I like:D
Lets just hope twincast doesn't get a cassette bot that's too memorable so it lessens the need to buy a malibu stacy with a new hat.
Can't wait... but yeah, they're slow to finish off all the MP ark bots
Fits in nicely with my rules regarding MP's, Twincast is a definite buy :D
That's 5 (technically six? Maybe?) unique molds in a row. Where's the repaints/slight retools? Then again I suppose it'd be very quick to do twincast, two other tapes and hoist I guess.
Nice!
The source of this rumour was posted on TFW's speculation thread a few days ago. The translation says there will likely be some repaints of existing molds thrown in during this time so it was not to be taken that the characters mentioned will be all released in a row. Just look at it as a guide to the next 12-18 months of new molds but with a healthy dose of salt all the same.
If true, then cool. But this rumour tastes salty
I highly doubt that Twincast will have his own release number. Given that Soundblaster was MP-13B, it stands to reason that Twincast will have the same number as Blaster, but with a letter slapped on the end of it.
I'd really love to know how they determine the numbering/lettering. It just seems to out of whack. There must be some logic to it.
I've read elsewhere that these aren't mp-40 to 44 per se, just 5 rumoured upcoming MP releases. Obviously we have dinobot likely to be mp-40, but the rest are just rumoured
MP Blaster with cassettes would be great, it's one of my top MP wants.
This. The TFW speculation thread is chock full of blind guesses and I don't think anyone has ever demonstrated anything remotely resembling a reliable, consistent source. So many figures have been revealed out of left field it really comes to random luck if anyone guessed correctly.
Someone considered reliable predicted Ironhide, Tracks, Road Rage and Ratchet correctly. This list is quite plausable as there isn't anything in thete I'd consider unlikley.
I'll move this thread when i get home.
same bs rumours that hoist trailbreaker and Jazz were supposed to be reliable rumours were in the end nothing.
Throwing crap against the wall and seeing what sticks.
For every figure that was "sourced through a solid insider" there are just as many, if not more figures that weren't.
Show me a silhouette in Dengeki Magazine & then we'll talk.
Can this topic get stickied so it is easy to find in the future?
Ramhorn and rewind were the ones off the top of my head, and we can use the more obscure cassettes if we want to bulk out the numbers
As previously mentioned beast convoy and delta magnus are exceptions, there is no rhyme or rhythm with the numbers although we made some good ocd based guesses here :D
Spot on
Last I read they had interest in mp combiners (specifically bruticus) and dinobots, though now with dinobot coming out I believe the translator made an error :D
But time shall tell, gotta partner up everybody, if its not mold reuse its just having kens for their barbies
I think the most accurate/likely reason thought up was if the figure was getting a general release, it would get its own number, but if it was a limited or exclusive release, it would get a letter add-on.
Having a quick look at the list of releases, that holds true for all releases I think, with the possible exceptions of MP-13B, MP-21G and MP-12G. Every other one was either limited in number or sold exclusively through specific vendor(s) or region(s).
I'm not counting the two "+" versions either :rolleyes:
I seem to remember Shogo Hasui saying that he had done designs for the Season One and maybe Two characters long ago. It looks like Hironori Kobayashi has been reworking them more recently though.
Maybe there will be a new reveal around Wonderfest in 6 weeks. Or in a magazine just before...
More like dead wrong where MP Hoist and Trailbreaker are concerned.
You must have missed this interview with the design team for MP Sunstreaker.
It clearly states (bolding for emphasis):
In short, Hoist and Trailbreaker aren't rumours; Hoist and Trailbreaker are clearly in production - even if it's just currently at the design stage.Quote:
Beast Wars & G1 are being released alternately since both parties are in different purchasing demographics seperated by age and so on. The release pattern has been thanks to you. 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.
Possibility of Beast Wars being a sub-line within the Power of the Primes line.

Also, the Optimus Primal and BW Megatron will apparently be retools of PotP Voyager Apeface and Snapdragon respectively. Makes me excited for the possibility of a full-bodied Apeface! :D
Email from EB this morning shows that movie masterpiece bumblebee is going to be a Zing exclusive and is costing $148. Prime helmet down to $99 btw
Any word on release for MPM Bee?
