Shogo Hasui interview on Masterpiece from April Figure-oh

very interesting read.

It is. Thanks for posting that. So Wheeljack was so complicated that he almost gave up? Interesting. Might be a reason we havent seen a V2 Megs yet. It just ended up in the too hard basket. Same with Ironhide/Ratchet?

I hope he gets reassigned to MPs in the future. Some of his ideas sound really cool, like developing rival characters together. It would be pretty awesome if for example we got Ultra Magnus as one release and then the very next release was Cyclonus and soforth.

"- Any hardship to obtain vehicle licence?

H: Actually, thanks to Tomica brand, we can negotiate with many car manufacturers such as Fiat. This is a great result of merger (of Takara and Tomy)."

TFW needs to realise some of their readers are dyslexic. That article looks like a jumbled blob of letters to me, I'll have to cut and paste to make the spacing readable.

Thats why I'm hoping if we do a get a new MP Megatron it's either cartoon accurate robot mode with compromised alt mode or a tank alt mode. I'd actually love a MP IDW Megatron with one of his tankish alt modes.

I actually prefer they make a G2 Megs version instead, G1 gun altmode just brings a whole gamut of complications. From sizing issues to gun law problems...

My imagination was giving me lots of vivid and very funny stuff right now hahahaha. ROFL

I do want a more solid MP 09 though, the previous one was a lot of panels pressed together held by tabs that don't lock well was just substandard IMO. Good thing I got mine for free, but I too would get one if they make a serious improvement and overhaul the whole figure... oh add to that fix that horrible hand with fingers that pops out and can't hold squat.

Masterpiece combiners - *drool*

I agree. I think it will be really hard for Takara to do another 'gun' version of Megatron.

Besides it looks awful with the orange tip... I am glad my MP05 doesn't have it.

Wasn't the orange tip removable?

The thing is the two main countries Japan and Hong Kong don't have an issue with g1 format so they pretty much may make it for themselves.

If is piece by piece it won't be that bad. The whole lot might post a cost issue.

We have not seen real pics yet. They are all digibashes.

Then it becomes pricey with shipping (x5). Anyway, it's all speculative for now. I guess we'll have to wait and see. If it turns out like the recent combiner efforts, I'll probably pass anyway.
