US & JP Masterpiece speculations, rumours & wish-lists

[Thurmus]

I was thinking about this the other day.

I thought there needs to be more Decepticons, but I was trying to think who other than a jet they could make that wasn't a combiner.

On the Autobot side, Sunstreaker or Jazz would be my first preference. I think Hound was really well covered as an alternator. Mirage would be tricky I would think. Blaster would be cool.

more decepticons

MP EVERYTHING from the 80s cartoon.

[GoktimusPrime]

I'd like to see the rest of the 1st year Autobots being developed as MPs since they've already done all the 1st Year Decepticons. Of course, "first year" for the Japanese is 1985, but a lot of 1984 moulds could easily be retooled as 85 characters, as we've seen w/ the MP Lambos and Datsuns.
e.g. Trailbreaker ---> Hoist
And a lot of the Mini-Bots could also be retooled as '86 Mini-Bots too.
e.g.
Cliffjumper ---> Hubcap
Brawn ---> Outback
Gears ---> Swerve
etc.

And don't forget to access TakaraTOMY's online survey to directly let them know which characters you would like to see them develop as future MPs.

alot of people on TFW2005 are in agreement that it should be Reflector, Im with them on that,

definitely has to be a Decepticon tho

Yep could totally see Reflector as a MP, I heard someone say tripticon but I cant see that

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

MP Animated Strika and Lugnut.

A man can dream...

MP Blaster with Ramhorn, Steeljaw, Eject and Rewind

If Takara were going to release it the same way they did MP Soundwave and the cassettes, I could always deal with a Sundor (orange repaint of Laserbeak)

I could also go with this, along with the remaining cassettes (Slugfest, Overkill, combining Beastbox/Squalktalk for Soundwave, and a combining Grandslam/Raindance for Blaster.

From a HasTakTom commercial PoV, I'd go for Ironhide/Ratchet. Obvious remold right off the bat, and some decent repaint potential.

From a plausible-toy-that-I-actually-want PoV, I'd like to see an MP Astrotrain.

I would also like to see the rest of the cassettes released, but after we get Megatron 2.0 and the rest of the class of 84

I agree a MP Astrotrain would be awesome, but there would have to be a Blitzwing release as well. I would love some MP triple changers

TBH I would be happy with any MP of the rest of the 84 cast.

I have to say this is the likely route from a business point of view. The mini vehicles may be hard with accuracy for licensing, given they were from the "super deformed" line pre TF. Hence MP Bee looking very long in Alt mode.
Personally I'd like an MP Galvatron.

i would be extremely impressed by the engineering involved to get a decent masterpiece quality triple changer out.
