New Masterpiece MP-10 coming in September

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I still can't fathom what alt mode they'd give a Masterpiece Galvatron or Soundwave. It's not that I wouldn't want one; I just understand the challenge.

Maybe a cannon or cassette player? They gave Grimlock a robot Dinosaur mode.

I was under the impression that the MP line was about bringing the characters to life with a pretty spot on toy. I doubt they would go messing with them that much (Starscream Abomnination aside)

thanks for that.

I am curious, I must admit. But I still don't know about the price tag!

I mean, ok:

- Driver
- Roller
- More detailed and accurate cab
- More detailed and accurate trailer
- A few more accessories so play around with

what the hell else could they include to warrant the price tag? coz that to me, sure as hell isnt enough.

it'd have to be something unbelievable for me to even consider buying this "new" mold of a character that has been re-issued and re-deco'd countless times in the same line in just a span of a couple of years.

...or maybe I just really wanted a Galvatron

The main reason I'm looking forward to it is 'cos I don't have any MP Primes or Faith Leader, and this sounds like an improvement on both - and 'cos it'll work better with more normal sized TFs which make up the bulk of the Odieverse. The fact I'm likely to be teaching English in Japan when it comes out helps too.
The thing is, it's likely aimed at the Japanese collector market where Convoys apparently always sell well, and presumably to match the scale of the more recent MPs better. The fact that so many Western fans aren't interested is a bonus IMO, it means it should be easier to get one at sale prices.
If I had an MP Prime or Faith Leader already I'd probably be skipping on it too.

You're not the only one...

Yeah, a MP Galvatron would be very cool.

MP-1 and Binaltech are what got me back into Transformers back in 2003. MP Convoy was a great achievement for Takara's designers and has been their flagship design for Transformers for alomst a decade. If they are creating a better flagship, then I'm looking forward to it.

Even though it is a G1 Prime, we still shouldn't knock it until we see it.

Hopefully this version is more articulated, cartoon accurate (even though the existing one is very close) and still very robust and sturdy.

Out of the MP molds, only Prime and Grimlock seem to be able to withstand repeated transformations without fear of something snapping
