treatment Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Nice, but rather meh overall. I'm passing on it. I'll be in for Thrust, tho. If they ever make him. Quote
jenius Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I still need to figure out how I'll get the TTYL thundercracker updated paint scheme, now this too. Quote
JB0 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 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?Looks right. It's just "we're gonna paint Optimus Eva purple" seems odd when you have a mold that carries at least six different paint jobs in the cartoon sitting underutilized. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 it's getting so close to amazon u.s. trypticon i can feel the touch and the power. Quote
Silverstreak Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I read that Hasbro Asia are releasing Ramjet too. So it won't be _that_ limited. Quote

Mechapilot77 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 rod's yf-29 coudl so be a decpticon....or maybe a "classics" updated cyclonus (wiht a new head and a little more purple it'd work). Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I got my Trypticon already. did you open him yet? Quote
Dangard Ace Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 did you open him yet? Nope. He's still protected in his brown Amazon shipping box. . Too busy playing with BB8. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, While waiting for trypticon to drop i ordered fortress. Came in today: Wow this box is huge: You guys remember this classic artwork:) Size comparison: Edited October 28, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
JB0 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Geez, he's THAT much bigger than Metroplex? I knew he was bigger, but never really had the context for how MUCH. Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 He's big. haha. You can put a big piece of glass over him and make a coffee table. Quote

You can put a big piece of glass over him and make a coffee table. I have all the autobot bases, i just need trypticon and scorpi (maybe grab a ko or wait and hope for a reissue) Quote
kanedaestes Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Photos of the undercarriage of MP Rodimus. While everyone on the boards in the transformers pages are screaming foul it seems they purposley went with the G1 toy undercarriage look. http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/new-magazine-images-of-takara-masterpiece-mp-28-hot-rodimus-hot-rod-undercarriage-shot/34133/ Edited October 29, 2015 by kanedaestes Quote
Gakken85 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Why would anybody scream foul? Looks just like the G1... and it's never going to be displayed upside down. Quote
mikeszekely Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 It's not worse than his hood chest. Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Tracks looking good. TT showing they are still on top. Quote
RD Blade Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Tracks looks amazing. Those wings are big as hell. Quote
Scyla Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Tracks looking good. TT showing they are still on top. *snip* I have some issues with the backpack. Form the side it looks like the back of the car is sitting over his had. This in itself is nothing bad since it is a Transformer and you should be able to make out parts of the alt-mode. However it looks very hallow from the side. I'd rather have some mechanism to collapse the backpack on itself and creating a more solid look. This is something that the Masterpiece did very well but seems to be missing on Tracks. I think this is the first MP that Kobayashi was responsible alone as the design-lead after he took over from Hasui (MP-22 seem more like a joint-venture between the two). So I'm looking forward if Tracks is an indication of where things are going. MP Hot Rodimus looks strikingly similar to MP-09 in the way his torso is created. While I never thought that the torso of MP-09 was the part of the toy that was exceptionally bad many think that the sandwich look is unworthy of the MP line. Of course it could be that Hasui created all the easy designs first and now that the more complex transformation schemes are done you could preserve the look of the early Masterpieces (MP-10 onwards). With that being said I personally think that all MP releases after MP-21 Bumble where not as good as the one that came before. I have some major issues with Magnus and Star Saber so I hope Tracks wins be over since I'm a huge fan of this Autobot. Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 when's tracks coming out again? this month? Quote
Scyla Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 when's tracks coming out again? this month? November the 7th I believe. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 November the 7th I believe. thank you, oh! that's really soon Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So nobody has been able to answer.. but is clampdown not coming through the japanese shops? Quote
Scyla Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 So nobody has been able to answer.. but is clampdown not coming through the japanese shops? Wasn't Clampdown a Takara Mall Exclusive? If so the regular Japansese shops won't have him. These toy releases seem similar to Bandai Web Shop Exclusives when it comes to distribution. Quote
Gakken85 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Ah ok. Guess you guys saw the BAPE MP-10 red color went on sale yesterday. From what I can tell you could only get one in HK at the bape store there, and you had to stand in line and get a raffle ticket, so it's even more rare than the Green version. I'm seeing them on Japanese sites for 80,000 yen and one on ebay for $1200. No cheaper middle men this time. I saw a few on Taobao for about 300 yesterday but they sold uber quick. Guess you can always wait for the KO haha Quote
sh9000 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Cool. One more to go. Edited November 3, 2015 by sh9000 Quote

Gakken85 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 No clue. The green release seemed to be in multiple stores, or at least in Japan as well. I think people were also anticipating scalping it so the price was insane off the bat. Quote
Dangard Ace Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 NY says MP Tracks delayed until the 14th. Quote

Have seen genuine green ones go for around $250 lately so I'd pay $300 for this one. No more though. Quote

Guess you can always wait for the KO haha don't see the point of the bape partnerships....this one and the previous green one...IMO...way to wear down a great mold for no reason. YOTH prime is a more attaractive deco even than these...granted this one isn't nearly as bad as the green one. Quote
