Would you purchase a new MP Convoy & Starscream?

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....

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.

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.

As much as I like the animation accuracy approach I'll go "no", I preferred the amalgamation of animation accuracy with toy homages past mp's did, and mp10 was perfect all in all anyway

I think I'll go with unsure. It would really depend on what the new toy offers that the previous toy didn't, and how it stacks up first and foremost as a cool toy.

I'm a bit past the idea that I only need one version of a character and that's it, although at the same time returning characters do need to be something special to warrant a purchase.

One thing to remember with the MP line, is there will always need to be a version of Optimus/Convoy, Starscream etc readily available to people (without relying on the aftermarket). It's fine for us hoary old veterans to want Takara to fill out season one, but they will always be mindful of inducting new younger collectors into the line, at lets face it the gateway to MP collecting is always Optimus.

So I'm pretty sure Taktom will be re-releasing or remaking Optimus till the line ends.
