    A new Prime was inevitable, it's like printing money for Takara, and they get 5+ years of reapaints as well.
    We have magazine teases so far. We won't see a proper reveal until an event like Tokyo Toy Show in June or WonFes in July

    probably wait till then before commenting on proper feelings. I always feel they will miss something out. I hope they dont review that crouch screw, is like mistake being missed again and again especially if it is transparent yellow pieces over it.

    There’s also Mp-1b and Mp-4s and hasbro yoth, was eva mentioned? And also the not long ago announced mp-10G. While I agree they should be making other characters no one is making anyone buy these re-do’s re-paints.

    It would be nice tho if they used these money grabs to fund new character moulds as I feel that is the way forward for collectors

    And yet the lines on the parts of the torso and one of the legs they have teased us with, strongly suggest that 3.0 is miles ahead of both 1.0 and 2.0.

    Check the out page 5 with the teaser images - what is shown speaks volumes.

    As much as my wallet is going to hate me saying this, this 3.0 release is necessary from a cartoon accuracy perspective. Don't get me wrong, MP-01 and MP-10 are magnificently designed figures, but they're not cartoon accurate - even MP-10, which was supposedly to herald in the new 2.0 soft reboot, failed to be cartoon accurate. The biggest problem has been the torso and legs on both figures, with neither being a definitive, animation model accurate Prime.

    But them look at how much time has passed even between MP-10 and this v3.0. It'll be what? 7+ years between releases? If you don't think that's significant, consider the complexity difference between Sideswipe and Sunstreaker. Furthermore hasn't everyone generally felt that MP-10 immediately looks outdated and inferiorly engineered compared to MP-36?

    Even what we've seen on this teaser tells us that this is a world apart from what came before. Take a good look at the panel lines and alignment on what is shown on the chest. Take a good look at that leg, where the wheels clearly invert and live inside the lower leg in robot mode. This is on a whole other level. There might not be much of the figure they've revealed, but what they have shown tells us all everything we need to know about the engineering of the figure.

    Certainly the bean counters at Takara would have been rubbing their hands with glee here at milking more money out of fans with a shiny all new Convoy/Optimus Prime figure. However I don't believe for one minute that it's why the engineering and design teams did this. I genuinely believe the reason they did this was because they saw just how dated MP-10 was compared to MP-36, just what they were capable of these days with over half a decade and close to 30 MPs more experience and design advancements, and decided to close the gap.

    Is a version 4.0 possible? Sure. However if the teasers are anything to go by, it's going to be really hard to justify to anyone.

    I can barely see any difference at least with the snippet of the chest and arm pic. How is that miles ahead? What am I missing

    A) the lines and shape on the chest, and;
    B) that's not an arm, it's a leg.
