    Shockwave looks very simple (to transform), unlike other Masterpiece toys that seem to find ways to add extra complexity to them... so maybe that simplicity was intentional to make it more affordable without relying on redecos paying for the mould.

    The chest for Rodimus looks wrong though, but there is often some tweeking between grey-scale stage and the released toy.

    That's four new moulds for 2016 now (Ironhide, Optimus Primal, Shockwave, Hotrod), which is already more than the average (only 2 in 2015, only 3 in 2014, and only 3 in 2013 when counting the cassette 2-pack as one)... I'm starting to think that that will be all, and the rest for 2016 will have to be redecos.

    Since these are only in grey-scale stage and Optimus Primal probably isn't even that far yet, these two would probably end up being mid-2016, and Primal at 3/4 of the year (based on the timeframe of grey-scale to release of past toys).

    Not really digging the thighs and feet yet though.
    Looks like they're both skipping leg day. Still looking good though.

    Since you can dictate the future, please post that they will MP the entire movie line. K, thanks.

    I really would like to get this, even more when I see the blaster arm is translucent with electronics. There is zero reason it can't be done. Same as alt mode.

    The bottom of the top layer of the chest is too wide on hotrod is what appears off.

    I'm just disappointed with the size, would have liked him to be is scale with MP Megs, Soundwave & Screamer. He is going to look weird being half their height

    In honesty, I am NOT prepared to buy Shockwave though I thought Galvatron was going to be out first.

    My plan was to retire after Mirage, Hound, and Jazz. < Yes I know there will be more but that was it.

    I am a bit unsure how far I want to collect mp line. The good thing is they arent overly costly, but I am out of space for my cabinet and I might become a MISB collector. OMG. lol

    As for Shockwave size, we need to remember that is not tranforming into a hand size blaster either and it be smaller.

    Cant wait for more pics.

    Agreed! This is why I don't trust "expert" fans who think they know everything. Anything's possible. I remember when the experts (some on this very forum) said they would "never ever" reissue Fort Max, and sure enough....
