Masterpiece MP-20 speculation (from JP Toy Show)

[Tober]

From the 30th Anni Awards thread on TFW2005:

Taktom hinted about MP-20 today.
They said that MP-20 is confirmed but cannot be revealed yet
and he is a character who was thought to be difficult to get license...
upon listening that, I imagine he will be BB or Jazz or Mirage or wheeljack or someone like them.

Maybe Shockwave...

Q&A session
MP Devastator? On the table but timing is difficult for it will be very expensive toys.
MP Ultra magnus? On the table but timing is difficult for it will be very very expensive toy.
Beast Hunters on air in Japan? On the ta......

Hoping its shockwave *fingers crossed*

I've read a lot of rumours about the VW and Porsche licenses being difficult to obtain because, being German companies that supplied vehicles to the Nazi regime in WW2, they're quite touchy about licensed products that are associated with war. *shrug*

I suppose the Astro Magnum could be seen as 'difficult' too, since nobody seems to know who actually holds the rights to it.

Personally I'd be keen to see more Autobot cars as the recent ones have been so cleverly designed. That said, I already have the third party QuakeWave, so perhaps I'm biased in that respect.

Well now my hopes are high for an MP Jazz.

[Defcon]

Its most likely one of the Autobot cars. Though I hope not, cause we need something a little different...

[Sinnertwin]

Come to the party, Mitsubishi. There's 4 repaints right there of the Fuso.

[Sky Shadow]

Bumblebee or Jazz.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Too many Autobots in this new lot of MPS. Mine need some more Decepticons to help out.

Dammit. Was so convinced it was gonna be a proper MP Ultra Magnus! Jazz would be great, although I'd prefer to pay a little more moolah for a higher end Jazz design than the current MP cars (as nice as they are, they're a bit on the cheap side)

Is it just shockwave and the cars that have potential licensing issues? Any other characters that could fall into the "maybe" pile?

Could we change this to Masterpiece- MP-20 Hints, rather than without the 'hints' part, because I thought it was an announcement...
