MB13 posted:MP22 is going to be Ultra Magnus "Perfect Edition". Based on the MP10 mold, it will come with his trailer and be able to combine with it.  Yeah, I might have to pick that one up.

Geez, I think this will be my first MP. What's the turnaround on MPs going from announcement to being re-released by Hasbro in the US? 12+ months at least, right?Why cookie Rocket posted:Well I'm up for that. Could this be the long-awaited first UM headsculpt that's not terrible? Cuz I can get behind that, but the Gens UM has a nice sculpt.

TFW2005.txt posted:With Trailer...that's funny. A 300$ parts-former,awsome. Its hard for me to consider this a MP when it is nothing more than a white prime with trailer that you have to add on. One day TT/Hasbro will get it right,let me know when that happens..... Well there is just no pleasing some people I guess.

I don't know, a true UM would be pretty cool. I kinda like the idea of getting a MP-10 anyway though so I'm really satisfied with the idea. Doesn't the MP-10 mold have a matrix slot? I wonder... therealjon_ posted:At least, also gotta hope Hasbro decides to release it.

There was the case of MP Rodimus lacking his Space Winnebago form for his US release, but Hasbro seems to have turned a corner on their US MP releases with MP-10.

So. Excited. That said, I am conflicted. Do I get classic Magnus or wait for the inevitable Japanese Powered Convoy repaint? Because I loving love that colour scheme (it's the only version of the original I own, in fact)

EDIT: Also, I'm trying to get some extra cash for a 3DS, so I went through my stash of TFs. Out of 3 bins of figures, this is what I could part with. Very random, and apparently I hate jets now? Any reasonable offer will be considered because I hate dealing with TF sperglords on eBay and such.  So, if anyone wants anything, lemme know. Also, the black and gray dealie is a Rodimus that I airbrushed grey and black for Shadow Scyther before I picked up a bootleg one. And, the insecticons are busted to poo poo and kinda only good for parts. Same with the bottom of Skylynx, and ... Huffer? Is that his name? VVVV Very top left is a Generations/Universe Blaster. The one directly underneath it is WFC Megatron. Or, if you're talking about the one to Blaster's right, that's Universe Ramjet. Nilryna fucked around with this message at 23:34 on Oct 1, 2013 |

I'm hoping Japanese Costcos get them, as there's one right near me. If so, and there's none close to you, I'd be willing to ship one to you.

It's actually the Blaster version of it. http://www.tfu.info/2008/Autobot/TFUBlaster/blaster.htm I'd do $15 shipped in the US for it if you're still interested. Also, all prices are just kind of dug up from eBay's most recent sales.

I picked up Orion Pax & IDW Megatron today and I really like both figures but man are their transformations finicky as all hell Also both of their spotlight issues are amazing, Megatron is the epitome of magnificent bastard, and I love that Alpha Trion's alt mode is a freaking Tumbler

So, interesting note for our thread's namesake (So to speak) - Mike Costa penned a book Marvel published this week. Not to get anyone upset since I doubt he's going anywhere for a long time, but if Costa can write an X-book I think Roberts is going to end up there eventually too.

If Masterpiece Magnus is to scale it could very well wind up the size of a supreme figure. And will probably be more expensive than Metroplex.

I would easily pay third party prices for a MP UM--assuming they actually get the armor to work right. For some reason, I find it easier to trust third parties with armor add-ons than I do Takara or Hasbro... I'm not sure that's a proper response...  Although, the issue with Hot Rod's back not pegging too reliably does ring a bell.

I am totally on board with a Ultra Magnus MP. Now bring on Galvatron. In fact, I would love to see the IDW verse Galvatron that turns into the Tumbler looking tank as an MP.

The newer MP Starscream is being reissued...for $200. Can't say I blame them as the first release cost a ton on the aftermarket, but with so many MPs on the verge of release $200 is too much to justify on a slightly better version of an MP I already own. Maybe it'll eventually see another stateside release...oh wait, they still need to get through TWO MORE loving RAINMAKERS

I mean, who doesn't want to spend $75 on a masterpiece figure that takes up a good deal of shelf space of some non-character who appeared in one episode for 30 seconds that nobody but the most hardcore fans have ever heard of? Let's make a ton of them and sell 'em at mass retail! Yep, looks like they made another Transformer that's gonna wind up on the Island of Misfit Toys this Christmas.
