MP 27 rumour - Mirage (confirmed false)

[kaiden]

I dunno. Generations Arcee didn't stop MMC from producing their Azalea figure.

their alt modes were quite different though. MMCs Arcee had a more cybertronian hover car design vs the g1 arcee rubber wheels futuristic earth car mode.

MMCs Sphinx however looks bang on G1. Which isn't a good move considering what happened to FansToys 'Soundwave' It also means a lot of people will hold out on MP scale toys if they feel an official Takara version will ocme out soon anyway - pretty much how I feel about that mirage and sunstreaker.

At the moment, Takara seem to be focused on Autobot cars from the 1984 toy line so thats something.

The RobotJapan page at the top has now confirmed this as a hoax.

(Personally I think there will be a Mirage before MP-30 anyway).

Oh well, i'm sure he'll pop up sooner or later

If they could do a Wheeljack that resembles the Gen1 toy quite well, Mirage would be a likely future toy, as they've done a lot of 1984 characters in the last couple years.

It would be funny if this ends up being true, and the source in the first post are just retracting the rumour to avoid getting in trouble (too late now though).

No more Autobot MPs, we need more Decepticons. And this is someone that really wants an MP Ratchet more than any other MP right now.

As much as I would like more Decepticons, I'd rather they complete the 1984 line. thats only 15 more!

But there's only so many times we can retool the remaining ones!

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.
