skullmilitia Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Classics Prime, and MP Prime are probably the best incarnations. It's hard to beat their accurate, yet fun factor. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 O, Trypticon! Where art thou? Quote
JB0 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 O, Trypticon! Where art thou?That's the worst Prime mold. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) That's the worst Prime mold. i got tired of waiting... Just impulse brought encore fortress maximus. That'll hold me over till then😥😊 Edited October 16, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote

JB0 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 You know, I'mma actually gripe about Shockwave briefly. I REALLY wish he was the darker purple of the toy instead of the more toon-accurate shade they're using. On the other hand, it's a testament to how GOOD that original toy was that they're using almost-identical arms and shoulders thirty years later(I see one added hinge, making the shoulder two-axis instead of one-axis). The legs, by contrast, are COMPLETELY different, but they were always the original robot's weak link. Quote
jenius Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 You can wait for MP-29O, Shockwave Original Toy Color. Quote
JB0 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) You can wait for MP-29O, Shockwave Original Toy Color.But I want Shockwave purple, not Astro Magnum gray. Wait, does this mean TakaraTomy has a way to milk three distinctly different releases out of a one-character mold? Edited October 17, 2015 by JB0 Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I would've preferred darker purple as well and a switch in the back for two sounds including a 9v battery:) Quote
sh9000 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Woo hoo got my MP blue Bluestreak. If anyone is still looking for it, it's on sale at TFSource for $65 today and tomorrow. Quote
treatment Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I would've preferred darker purple as well and a switch in the back for two sounds including a 9v battery:) I think MP-Shocky's might have the same purple as your beloved and not-found-yet Trypticon-reissue... Edited October 17, 2015 by treatment Quote
Scyla Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I like the current shade of purple. With that color I don't feel the need to replace my FT Quakewave. [edit:] I don't know the US safety regulations that well but could you imagine that Hasbro will bring over MP Shockwave in toy accurate colors? Edited October 17, 2015 by Scyla Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I think MP-Shocky's might have the same purple as your beloved and not-found-yet Trypticon-reissue... lol, i'm still waiting for him to drop on target or amazon... someday hopefully before mp shockwave releases Quote
RD Blade Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 lol, i'm still waiting for him to drop on target or amazon... someday hopefully before mp shockwave releases Did you ever see Starscream in the wild? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Did you ever see Starscream in the wild? i checked late last sat on rt 17 and 4 in Paramus but no dice. i think RT 17 had them but i was traveling in MA for work when he released so was late to the game. Quote
RD Blade Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 It's MP-10 all over again. I guess we either hope for a re-release or give the scalpers double what they paid. Eff scalpers. Quote
JB0 Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I like the current shade of purple. With that color I don't feel the need to replace my FT Quakewave. [edit:] I don't know the US safety regulations that well but could you imagine that Hasbro will bring over MP Shockwave in toy accurate colors? The problem with US toy gun laws is there's a mishmashed patchwork of state laws ranging from "when I was a kid we didn't have any problems" on to "the entire thing has to be flourescent orange so you can tell it's a toy from low Earth orbit". I suspect Shockwave will not pass any US toy gun laws, especially not the stricter ones of California and New York. And with California and New York being huge markets... ... Hmmm. Research indicates that "bright purple" is an allowed toy gun color, at least at the federal level. But Astro Magnum coloration DEFINITELY won't fly, and probably not original toy coloration. Quote
GU-11 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Good news for you, David... Trypticon is available for sale at Amazon. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Good news for you, David... Trypticon is available for sale at Amazon. thx for the heads up and link that's a huge sign its dropping in North America United States and for a real good price too Edited October 20, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote

treatment Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 btw, Hasbro MP-07 Screamer scaled again... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 anyone getting quakewave reissue or the darker version 03T Quote
David Hingtgen Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 At this point, I think only a 3P Trypticon will satisfy me. (and I don't mean SD/chibi!) Quote
GU-11 Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 thx for the heads up and link that's a huge sign its dropping in North America United States and for a real good price too Glad to help. On other news, I caved and pre-ordered MP Hot Board Rod along with Shockwave. For some reason, I seem to be making so many impulse buys lately. Quote
spanner Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) *trimmed* Not a TF fan at all but aside the Dinobots, Shockwave was always a favorite of mine! He's pretty cool! Edited October 20, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
kanedaestes Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Limited Edition MP Ramjet is coming! http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/takara-tomy-transformers-masterpiece-mp11nr-ramjet/34107/ Quote
JB0 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Limited Edition MP Ramjet is coming! http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/takara-tomy-transformers-masterpiece-mp11nr-ramjet/34107/ That's hot. Now where is Thrust? Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I like it, but what's up with the exclusivity? Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The proportions on the head are pretty weird.. Giant legs. Giant head. Easy, easy pass for me haha. They are going to fly that mold into the sun I guess. Quote
JB0 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I'm honestly surprised it's taken them this long to DO a Ramjet. I mean, it's only minor work to get SIX characters out of the mold instead of three, so why NOT do it? How many repaints has Optimus had? Quote
technoblue Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The proportions on the head are pretty weird.. Giant legs. Giant head. Easy, easy pass for me haha. They are going to fly that mold into the sun I guess. Yeah, it's an easy pass for me too. Walking away from the seeker mold wasn't hard, especially since I have another transforming fighter collection. But I will say that this news is cool for those who are into it. I'm honestly surprised it's taken them this long to DO a Ramjet. I mean, it's only minor work to get SIX characters out of the mold instead of three, so why NOT do it? How many repaints has Optimus had? I think the seekers stands to obliterate MP-10 for repaints. Off the top of my head, Hasbro has brought MP-10 to retail twice in some form and Takara has issued four variations of MP-10. Did I miss any? For the seekers, MP-11 has been released by Hasbro four times (now that ToysRUs has Starscream) and Takara has released MP-11 five times. One could argue that Acid Storm shouldn't be counted twice since Takara's release was exactly the same paint scheme as Hasbro's release. But now that Ramjet is announced, that opens another door for more paint schemes, driving this mold off into foreverland. Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I'm also in, been waiting forever and I'm not willing to pay evil-bay price for the igear version. At this point I don't think Takara will ever do another mold for the seekers. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 How in the hell.. I wonder if RK will have pre-orders. Otherwise is eBay. Blah, stupid limited crap. Quote
