Hi all
Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on what they think the next few MPs will be?
Not what we want but based on what we have so far and any other possible knowledge as to what we think will be released.
I was thinking Sunstreaker is a fair chance following Sideswipe and Red Alert as basic mold is there already.
Maybe another seeker as well ?
Hopefully the more regular releases keep coming like our current MPs
Probably more cars. Jazz and prowl would be cool and likely. Apparently there is an Ultra Magnus in the works and a V2 Meg's.
A new mold Skywarp isn't beyond the realms of possibility. After that I'm not sure what they'll do as far as decepticons go.
i'd like to see an mp shockblast :D nut yes assuming they can get the licences from he car manufacturers then i'd say more cars ultra magnus will certainly be interesting , i'm curious to see how they will homage the old toy and give it decent articulation :D
It depends how close they want the MP's to resemble the originals. Though the vehicle modes were very similar their robot modes were quite different. That said, they shared a mold in the Classics line so it is always a possibility.Quote:

I wanna see some Triplechangers, Blitzwing and Astrotrain would be cool.
And what about the rest of the Dinobots?
Poor Grimlock is lonely without his team.
A shockwave would be good too
Well, since the seeker mold is still existing, the coneheads should've been in the works a long time ago. If Hastak's excuse is that a 3rd party already done it, as Cobra commander said - hogwash!!! A lot of people already have the 3 seekers as well but that didn't stop them releasing them characters again with the excuse that it's a new mold! A thrid party came up with the coronation set - did they stop releasiing Screamer with a coronation set, nuh uh. So that excuse , if they ever pull that card again is nothing but a load of...
Surely, an "official" MP coneheads would be picked up by fans after they release prolly MP Acid storm. As for the Sideswipe mold, there's Deep cover and Clamp down, obscure characters yes, but, to maximize the use of the mold hey why not? Also there's Tigertracks....all it takes is for some of the HAstak bigwigs to sign the dotted line - YES?
I'm inclined to think that they're trying to follow a release schedule that somewhat reflects that of the 80s; The '84 Autobots still have a number of characters to go but as for the '84 Decepticons, they really only need to do another Megatron before I reckon they'll move onto either the Coneheads or the 'Basic' Insecticons which were released in '85. ;):)
Hell, we might even be lucky enough to receive a Masterpiece Reflector - Now that'd be awesome for both Transformers & Diaclone reasons! :D
Hi I would like the following (remolds or redos of characters)-
V2 Megatron (IDW Jet or G2 Megatron or whatever, not another gun, please)
V2 Skywarp (No crown/cape set, cartoon colours please!)
V2 Magnus (with Armour/trailer)
Ginrai (using MP-10 and a similar combination pattern at UM)
I'd also like there to be a focus on more prominent/leader figures, such as Galvatron, Shockwave, Bumblebee, Chromedome (maybe as a remold of Rodimus?), along with Cyclonus, Springer, Blaster, Perceptor etc.
'84 cars make a lot of sense. Really should do Prowl next (since you can bump out another two repaints from him easily), maybe minivehicles in packs of two (cosmos, etc) would be good. Really ummm... I dunno, do whatever, just make it good.
Blaster with cassettes, more cars and more dinobots. Make it happen.
I would love a G2 Sideswipe (with ammunition bandolier accessory) and the inevitable Tigertrack/Spin-Out/Bio-Sunstreaker recolour. I hope they're on the horizon.
THIS!!! :eek:Quote:

Hey guys, don't forget that every Japanese Masterpiece toy comes with that little slip of paper with a code that you need (along with your toy's bar code (what they call a "JAN Code")) to access TakaraTOMY's online survey -- and with MPs it allows you to nominate which Masterpieces (up to 3) that you would like TakaraTOMY to do next.
Click here for instructions on how to complete TakaraTOMY's online survey, and here's a screen cap of my most recent nominations:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...pgalvatron.jpg
I did this survey just last weekend (with my MP Lambor codes). And the options listed there are:
+ Jazz
+ Wheeljack
+ Sunstreaker
+ Prowl/Bluestreak
+ Ironhide/Ratchet
+ Tracks
+ Mirage
+ Perceptor
+ Blaster
+ Ultra Magnus
+ Devastator
+ Superion
+ Super Ginrai
+ Star Sabre
+ G2 Optimus Prime
+ Other [specify]
I ticked Sunstreaker and Star Sabre, then ticked "Other" and I typed in "Galvatron." You can probably look up the name of the Transformer you want to nominate on TFwiki and copy and paste the Japanese name into that box. :)
I actually had the idea of a Wheeljack and I made a few sketches showing him, his car mode and HIS GOLF BUGGY MODE. I spent a while trying to work out the golf buggy mode to work with the Earth car mode. I might upload them if you guys want.
Wheeljack, Shockwave and Galvatron are my picks. I think Wheeljack could be redone into Tracks (like Generations) and could come with a teletraan drone, I guess. (sky spy)
Oh yeah and DINOBOTS!!!
Soundblaster is inevitable, as are Skywarp and Thundercracker. Coneheads are a distinct possibility too. With or without armor we will get Ultra Magnus.
The cynic in me is leaning towards Sunstreaker as the next new mold, we know they have the Lamborghini Countach license. They also have Nissan, so maybe Prowl, Streak etc. If they still have Toyota we will probably get Ironhide and Ratchet.
When we get Soundwave we usually get Broadblast too.
I like that Gok is ahead of the game here ;)Quote:

I believe the Prowl body is the next Autobot idea as it can be duplicated to a number of others (Smokescreen, Silverstreak, Bluestreak)
Expect more coneheads from the current mould
(Thundercracker, Skywarp, Thrust, Ramjet, Dirge)
Jazz is also considered an option.
Sunstreaker, Devastator, and a proper Magnus.
BW Megatron (The first one) along with Dinobot, Rhinox and Rattrap:D. I live in hope:o
we all do lolQuote:

i think mp gestalts is a bad idea to be honest, way to massive, way to expensive especially if they're going to keep it in scale with current releases , though they would be FREAKING AWESOME!
o0o0o0o0 mp beast wars, now that'd be pretty wicked, but i'm not sure what they could really do to improve the existing molds.
More dinobots would be killer i'd hand over my wallet for a full set of mp dino's for my shelves no questions asked.
i'd really like a magnus , but only if they do it well.
Really, I'd want Swoop the most out of the dinobots, although their G1 toys are already pretty good.
Probably more Autobot cars. I should think Sunstreaker will be along soon. Followed by Prowl and Bluestreak, although I would prefer Smokescreen.
For the Decepticons we will see a few repaints, Skywarp and Thundercracker, and Soundblaster.
After that likely to see some amazing announcements. Ultra Magnus and Blaster for the Autobots. Megatron, or Galvatron?
you don't think the third party devastator has shown that there is clearly a market for that? MP stunticons, or pretectobots, aerialbots, whatever, of the same quality as MP sideswipe would be spectacularly cool.Quote:

I think they could do hoist and trailbreaker, blue streak, smokescreen and prowl.. more decepticon tapes would be pretty popular. and dinobots, but the repaintability of them is extremely limited. I'd buy a true to life scaled reflector in the blink of an eye.
I would love a MP Jazz and MP Shockwave!!!
Hopefully Miragecand Blaster with some tapes!
I can't see how they could make an accurate Sunstreaker from the MP Sideswipe mold.
I also can't see him being high priority for TakTom, seeing as the G1 toy was only available there in a multipack, there was no single release. And they pushed Red Alert and Sideswipe as being brothers more than SS/SS.
I'd like to see MP Prowl. Plenty of solid repaint potential, and he had such a crappy Classicsverse figure (the Legends is excellent though).
Same for Ratchet/Ironhide. Give us apology MP's for stuffing up their Universe figures.
Not counting numerous potential repaints of current molds, the 3 next MPs that I want would be
Jazz/ricochet
Ironhide/ratchet
Prowl/bluestreak/smokescreen
While I agree with your suggestion on a MP Prowl, I couldn't disagree more that Universe Prowl was a crappy toy. Aside from the paint issue which the first few batches suffered from (the Henkei version also rectified this), it's a great mold and an excellent update to the character. If anything, the Legends toy was a disappointment due to it's lack of paint apps... however, being a Legends toy, I can overlook this.Quote:

MP ASTROTRAIN *Drools* :D
If we take a step back and look at the bigger picture - I reckon the MP line will continue for another 15-20 years tops.
Perhaps they've come to realize that the G1 fandom is aging; and that the best way to make the line more successful and generate more moola is to change their strategy a little... hence the greater number of MP's being released (albeit in smaller scale).
If we assume the MP line will continue for another 15 years, that's about 45 characters (3 per year). Factoring in the repaints and odd movie MP and you've got about 20 or so individual G1 MP moulds.
I prefer it if they went for characters that don't have brothers/twins. Personally, I'd love to see a proper MP G1 Ultra Magnus or Arcee.
Is this wants/wishes or predictions?
For wants:
MP Lugnut. Make him the Leader toy he should have been, with the missile racks in his back, an LED POKE, and ideally a few voice clips courtesy of David Kaye.
MP Cyclonus would be sweet, but the Henkei one is good enough as is.
BW Megatron. Personally I'd rather his dragon form, but I'd put TM as the most likely.
MP G1 Predacons.
MP Sky-Byte.
MP Overlord.
For MPs I'd like to see that I think will probably happen...
Ultra Magnus.
Galvatron
Prowl (with Bluestreak and Smokescreen remolds).
Possibly Sunstreaker (as in I'd like to see him released, but I'm not sure how likely it is).
For MPs I think will probably happen, but meh.
Jazz. He's big in Japan.
Revised Skywarp. It's just a repaint.
MP Coneheads. Easy remolds.
MP Bumblebee would be up there too if not for the licensing issues.
I want a Galvatron
Ever since we got Rodimus, I've always thought that MP Galvatron won't be too far away (relatively that is).
really hoping for prowl,
ultra magnus with trailer,
and more dinobots:) just snarl would be ok
I suspect that the next few MPs will include Skywarp and Thundercracker using the MP-11 mould and Soundblaster (minor chest retool, new colour scheme). The next new mould would probably be either Jazz (with an eventual Ricochet/Stepper repaint) or Prowl (followed by Streak and Smokescreen repaints with mould tweaks).
Don't forget to let TakaraTOMY know which Masterpieces you want to see, if you're serious about seeing these toys become MPs. :) TakaraTOMY aren't going to notice this thread.
What no Shockwave on the list?
That makes me sad.
I forgot about Shocky this changes everything!:eek:Quote:
