Masterpiece MP-23 Exhaust

[kaiden]

I went to the TF wiki page and its already been edited from 'unnamed' Decepticon to Exhaust.

I wonder if this will be like G2 Sideswipe and come with different decals cause I want to put Marlboor on mine.





That headsculpt is awesome...

[VERT]

Yes. Sold

Bought. And strange that they've gone down the route of giving him a new number rather than what they did with G2 Sideswipe or Tigertracks.

And a much better accessory than a lunchbox

The Masterpiece numbered line shouldn't have retconed characters in it. Put them in the exclusives bucket. And a Decepticon because why? I don't fully believe this news, partly because there's no numbering in the pic. Not interested in this thing.

I am on the fence, I hated g2 when first came out.
But I question this character? Is there such a decepticon in this mode or just made up?

I may pass on it.

Okay I read more on it but still on the fence.

Finally another decepticon! way too many autobots since soundblasters release.

[liegeprime]

I want this. Im getting it! Love the head sculpt!

[Starscream77]

I am on the fence with this one.
I like the look and with some Malboro repro labels he will be smoking (couldn't help it)
But with a growing MP line do I HAVE to get him... just not sure

Hhmmm... I'll preorder this if I can do so at below RRP, otherwise pass.

Regarding the name, keep in mind that this toy is being marketed at a non-Anglophone Japanese market, so names like Durries, Smokes, Ciggies etc. would be meaningless to the target demographic. So would Fags (so it'd be free of controversy, but also devoid of meaning). If it were up to me, I'd name this toy High Gun (ハイガン). Seems like a plausible enough TF name for a non-English speaking JP market, but "High Gun" also sounds like "Hai Gan" (肺癌), which is Japanese for 'lung cancer.'
