The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread

Take it all with a pinch of salt, but acording to a reliable source, Takara will be revealing Hoist and Jazz very soon!

I've been told both are very cartoon accurate. Hoist is tall. The pics they were show had the Hoist prototype standing next to MP10. The head of Hoist came up to the shoulder for Prime.

Here's hoping it's all legit. This source has been solid in the past, so fingers crossed!

What about that rumored v2 Megatron? So many official MP. Sounds too good to be true.

I don't doubt that Takara has a bunch of prototype models locked away in their lab just waiting to be revealed.

Yes, but that's not who I was speaking with

I didn't talk to them much about it if I'm honest. Just that we agreed the crotch and legs look weird. Rumor is that the Megatron prototype was somehow acquired by a KO company and those are images "leaked" from their factory. The rumir for that random pic of Jazz labeled MP 39 is that ithe is an actual cast of an MP concept from a previous designer. I was told the Jazz they hado seen was different. Well as different as as they could tell from looking at a pic of a prototype.

Hoist, huh? I'm surprised they'd do him before Trailbreaker, considering Hoist was the retool. I mean, if this is legit.

[MULTIPLEX]

MP Jazz would be awesome.

Can you provide the source? Cause Jazz is my favourite Autobot. If it's true, I will wait before I get 3rd party Hova (MP Jazz)
