Would you purchase a new MP Convoy & Starscream?

I'm going to go with "No"

Already have Mp10 and very happy, and just dropped $65 on a preorder for the MP11 reissue

I voted no. I'm pretty happy with MP10 and MP11.

Although I wish MP10 had a slightly bigger, solid rifle (I'm not a fan of the folding rifle) and I would've liked to see some of the aesthetics of MP3 on MP11 (my ideal MP Starscream would be largely MP3-based with some of the improvements of MP11), even if those were addressed, I don't see myself buying new ones.

Yeah,I would.

Just looking at those comparison photos, if TT could work their design wizardry & somehow find a way to hide the truck wheels on the outer legs and silver strip on the forearms, it'd be a pretty close representation. Perhaps incorporate flip out wheels ala MP Magnus?

I'm not sure if that would be possible on the current mould, as both the forearms and the legs don't have much room for such changes as they are: the forearms already conceal the hands, and there may not be enough space to have more plastic to fold and conceal the silver stripes without adding bulk to the forearms, which would then affect the proportions and possibly the transformation; and any rotating panels on the lower legs to hide the wheels inside would likely not leave room for the thighs to telescope in and out of the legs for transformation and still have solid, sturdy legs for the figure to stand with.

Seems to me like MP10 would have to be substantially reworked for those changes.

I voted no. Once you start with a + version of MP10 and MP11, you could keep going with MP12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20 etc. etc. until the cows come home. I'd rather TT focus on bringing out new figures rather than rehashing old ones.

Let's not forget that some of the design decisions (Ultra Magnus' butt flap, Ironhide/Ratchet's hip kibble) ruins the whole point of cartoon accuracy. IMO no toy will be 100% cartoon accurate. You'll get a very plain looking toy with little detail.

I think TT should return to the original Masterpiece designs of balancing cartoon accuracy with real-world detail.

MP11 should have been an entirely new mold instead of a retool the legs are seriously lacking in poseabilty compared to recent MP's it's too late to redo the mold with the last conehead due out anytime now I am DONE with MP seekers.

I might buy a new Prime if only to have him look better with Megatron but I really don't want to support more Optimus Prime toys as they hardly ever need an excuse to make a new one.

[ILikeSoundwave]

No, because I just bought the reissue of MP 10 & 11 when they went live a couple of weeks ago.

[FatalityPitt]

I voted the 3rd option - Probably not. I'm pretty satisfied with my MP-11 Starscream, and I can't imagine another MP Starscream topping it... Unless it can talk.

EDIT: By 'talk', I mean it could have electronic sounds, like TR Fort Max, G1 Galvatron, or G2 Megatron. The electronic sounds shouldn't be limited to sound effects (shooting, 'swooshing', etc), but also include proper quotes - even if they're direct recordings from the 1980's cartoon. Man, I miss Chris Latta

I'm happy with what I've got. And so is my wallet.

I think TT should return to the original Masterpiece designs of balancing cartoon accuracy with real-world detail.

I agree. I've got a few of the car MPs, MP10, Hot Rod and Ultra Magnus, and those last two don't quite "fit in" with the other, more realistic MPs. From pic, Star Saber seems the same, more Gundam than TF in my eyes. But I guess that's due to the post 1986 movie toys being based on character designs, instead of the other way around....

[M-bot]

I would think I would fall into the "no" category... I utterly adore MP10, it's easily one of my favorite toys. And, after dropping waaay too much money getting a full compliment of MP seekers in the MP11 mould (with Dirge still to come!), I don't want to have to get the whole lot again in a new design, even if it is an improvement on the MP11 mould.

[DELTAprime]

I'm happy with MP-10 and MP-11 but since I buy every main line TT MP I'd probably get the new versions plus whatever Seeker repaints come from Starscream.
