Would Takara's lack of ownership over the Astro Magnum mould really prevent them from doing an MP Laserwave? Can't they modify the design so that it approximates Laserwave, but is distinct enough so that it's not? (e.g. ROTF Sideways' approximation of an Audi R8). I mean, they were able to have other similar homages to G1 Laserwave with toys like Superlink Laserwave (Energon Shockblast), Binaltech Laserwave etc. Surely if they changed certain elements of the design they might be able to get away with it? <shrug>
