US & JP Masterpiece speculations, rumours & wish-lists

Maybe they will start a whole new numbering system for Beast Wars simliar to when Takara did the movie MP figures

I think is different no system as there was no mp no on primal.

This years mp, I hope for three cars
Mirage
Hound and jazz

Wasn't there a Dengeki Hobby Magazine scan confirming Primal as #31?

I was under the impression that was an assumption than confirmation.
But yeah you may be right.

So Hot Rod in the '86 movie had a lighter, slightly pinkish shade of red to him and it is accepted by some that when he becomes Rodimus Prime it is an animation error that has him keep the Hot Rod character model's colour instead of changing over to the Rodimus Prime model from the TV series. That is the shade of red on both MP-9 and MP-29.

Rodimus Prime in the TV series has a darker more maroon shade of red and a couple of other deco changes.

Anyone else want a MP-9 based on the fixed version of the mould with good QC and TV series Rodimus deco or am I alone?

That right Takara, I'm willing to give you more money for a crappy mould.

I might ask ther question here since it didn't get an answer in the questions thread and this thread seems an appropriate place for it

The JP MP releases come with collector cards. Do the US ones as well? Because I'm trying to find all my collector cards and I can't find any from my US MP's so am wondering if they came with any to begin with

Collector cards with toys are a Takara thing. There may have been the odd Hasbro one with a card but as a rule they wouldn't have had them, so don't think you're missing anything.

I've has Hasbro Thundercracker, Starscream, Rodimus and Optimus, and none of them had collector cards.

I've never come across or heard of a Hasbro MP coming with a tech specs card (except for the Hasbro AP special imports, but even then the cards are untranslated). Collectible tech spec cards; another awesome legacy from Beast Wars (at least in Japan anyway).

Cheers for that

Just means I'm missing Exhausts then, but I will hopefully find that when I find his box

regarding speculation on further releases, if they did do mirage and jazz, what other characters or paint schemes could they do for those vehicles? i can't remember if it was official or not but some people say they would want at least 2 uses for each mould. would there be just old diaclone schemes?
