US & JP Masterpiece speculations, rumours & wish-lists

[MayzaPrime]

There is strong speculation on the US forums that MP43 will be Hound. I hope so!

Well lets hope he is MP44...

[Paulbot]

So thinking about how I just want to complete MP Autobot cars, we'd still need to get the following... am I missing any other characters/decos sitting out there

To finish off G1 Autobot cars:

Mirage
Hound
Jazz
Trailbreaker
Hoist
Skids
Kup
Blurr


Repaint/remolds to finish off the Diaclone cars and neo-G1 Autobot cars:

Red Sunstreaker remold (Spin-Out)
Red Mirage
Black Ironhide (also movie homage)
Blue Hoist
Red Hoist (Lift-Ticket)
Toy colour Skids (no pale blue arms!)
Black Skids (Burnout)
Red Skids
Green Skids (movie homage)
Silver Skids remold (Crosscut)
Orange Skids remold (Screech / Mudflap movie homage)
Red Skids remold (probably most unlikely)

Black Jazz (Stepper/Ricochet)
Green Grapple (Hauler)
Black Sideswipe (Deepcover)
Brown Hound (Detrius)
Green Ratchet (movie homage)

G2 Jazz
G2 Inferno (unlikely?)

Orange Kup (Orion Pax)
Targetmaster/anime colours Blurr
Targetmaster/anime colours Kup

You're not counting the minibot cars?

I’m not too fussed about the mini-vehicles getting the MP treatment actually, and that’s a whole other long list!

All the Movie characters are hard to repaint. At least the Diaclones can be repainted as other characters or Diaclone figures. The only original movie character we have is Rodimus and he was literally Malibu Stacey with a new hatted.

What I find interesting is the reissue of MP9 and Grimlock. I think most people would want a larger scale Grimlock 2.0. Does this kill a Dinobot line for the foreseeable future?
OTOH does MP9 mean the Movie bots are around the corner?

On the upside they wouldnt have to jump through licensing hoops with most of the movie cast.

I'm the opposite, most keen to see the release of all the Season 1 G1 minibots, especially Cliffjumper, though not hopeful about them ever being released, at least with animation and toy accurate alt modes. Since they're giving us MP Optimus version 3, MP Bumblebee needs a version 2!

A TFW member has posted a rumour with a screenshot of 4 new product listings.

https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threa...BC%9F.1182182/

MP49_Cliff(LYC)
E7156 407864 WHEELJACK
E7157 407865 IRONWORKS
E7154 407862 HOIST

One of those is for MP-49 as Cliffjumper. The other three in the list are Generations figures that have been corroborated by another source here:

https://news.tfw2005.com/2019/09/25/...istings-397073

• E7149 Micromaster Hotrod Patrol
  
• E7150 Micormaster Military Patrol
  
• E7155 Deluxe Cliffjumper
  
• E7156 Deluxe Wheeljack
  
• E7154 Deluxe Hoist
  
• E7157 Deluxe Ironworks
• E7162 Voyager Starscream Earth
  
• E7164 Voyager Grapple
  
• E7166 Leader Optimus Prime with Trailer

These are obviously just rumors for now but hopefully the Cliffjumper rumour is confirmed as true very shortly. Would seem to imply that Takara has gotten the Porsche licence meaning Jazz would likely follow at some point.

I have a feeling it's going to be a Siege Cliffjumper, who will be a pre-tool for Bumblebee. More than happy to be wrong though - I mean, I will be ecstatic if it turns out we're actually getting MP Cliffy.
Also, does anyone have a clue what LYC means?

Siege Cliffjumper is listed in the second link. So we could potentially be getting two Cliffjumpers.

Yeh the LYC acronym is a head scratcher.
