If they have done red alert I reckon we will see prowl and wheeljack getting the + treatment before any others.

I'm hoping to never see the + symbol again... I really only want to collect one MP version however the completionist in me desires every MP issued... is the demand really that high for both a toy accurate version and an anime accurate version? I would rather they focus on different bots (more decepticons please) rather than on repaints of the same bot (this comment excludes G2 repaints or different bots altogether).

Sadly for me the more cartoon accurate the better. So I'm going to buy every + version they bring out. Which is really bugging me because now when I look at my mp collection I'm thinking great! How many more of these am I going to have to buy again

Same for me. I have been thinking that G1 Toy version may have been the wrong colours to begin with, and Masterpieces are meant to correct what was wrong in the past. I would hate to see a Robotech Jetfire Masterpiece as we know it doesn't even look anything like whats shown in the cartoon.Sadly for me the more cartoon accurate the better.

I know is each to their own, and some would prefer homage to G1 toys, but for me is more to screen accuracy. I would sell off my duplicate though, unless I am not feeling it when I get the + version. It is funny when you think about it, like Hound toy version makes sense in military green jeep, but the toon colours are lighter.
Is not a big fuss in honesty, I just prefer to see new MPs toys as first priority.

What would you change? Just like this Red Alert I can't see how always going for cartoon accuracy is a positive. Would you change the sculpted gold detail and translucent parts for plain yellow?

Yup sure wont mind solid yellow exactly like from the tv show. Remember is all in your head how you seen the G1 Toy so you may not like it. I would agree that not everyone would like it. Secondly, I don't have to care about gold tarnishing or chrome tarnishing.
While at it, I would take off the light gimmick and give proper gripping hands on both sides.

Yep! Same here! The more screen accurate the better!
My parents couldn't afford to get me a lot of the toys as a child, so all I had was the cartoon.
Luckily I started collecting MPs late, so this + line is coming just in time!

This is where my problem lies, ive just spent the last 12 months picking up every mp I could find cause I thought that the longer I take the harder they will be too find.
Then they go and do the + line, almost feels like I'm starting all over again

I've been doing the same thing over the last 18 months. The more I get into this hobby, the more I've learnt the lesson of staying super focused if you want to spend within your means.
So my rules are all Takara MP's from MP-10 onwards and all original G1 combiner teams from the UW line. And I will only pick up the Titan Class (Fort Max etc) in Titans Return. No more G1 reissues after Trypticon. I'm actually glad that given my lack of interest in Titans Return there will be less cash drain, which will offset the extra MP releases coming.
