The Masterpiece Appreciation and Speculation Thread

SS looks like it would be fun to figure out...and looks like an astropop.

I'd say a Diaclone recolouring of MP-22 is more likely than an MP Piss Magnus, though I admit I'd happily jump on the Pee Wagon if I'm proven wrong.

If anyone still wants to get a MP-22 Ultra Magnus at a good price. hlj.com has low stock of them at $120USD plus shipping right now.

I'm surprised you didn't call him Peenus

I could see that being an Amazon Exclusive.

If not, D.W. will jump all over that.

Griff from OzFormers has some very interesting news:

Photos later tonight, and the full report.... but some teaser info to get you interested and to send the global fansites into meltdown.

Generations Devastator on display with my Gen1 Devastator - BigW already signed up for June/July.

More JP Masterpiece coming this year - Gold bumblebee July, Convoy reissue, Tracks (not MP25), MP25 in Sept (I can't reveal name before TakaraTomy), and two new "sports cars" for OCT & NOV.

Platinum edition - Myer will have Seeker pack and YOTG pair... while ToysRUs will have Insecticon pack, Perceptor/Blaster, Trypticon, aaaaand.... Dinobots. YES, Gen1 Dinobots multipack which I hope is all five.

JP Stinger still for this month, only at TRU though.

GEN Slingshot & Wildrider don't exist (yet) for Hasbro Generations, but might next year as Combiners are going to be at least two years.

Leader Starscream for wave 4.

Hasbro MP Starscream is the second (MP11) version because fans wanted it.
Hasbro MP Bluestreak will be in July.

Toyworld's cheaper prices were indeed just introductory prices from Hasbro.

Loyal Subjects w3 should be out in the next month.

That's most of it. More later, probably after midnight though.

Keep in mind that is stuff for Oz retail and they are no strangers to seeing Japanese MPs in their TRUs.

A lot of people are saying that the MP Ironhide info is now fake because of this. Not true, Griff states taht he cannot speak about the identity of one of the next releases then says there are two more "sports cars" due out later this year. I'm aware of one of them, but the second is a mystery.

There is also a sihouttte going around as of this morning of an obvious Porsche and a second mystery car. Early speculation is that it's a Lambo but take it all with a grain of salt.

Any release they label as G1 will never be a true Generation 1 release. Those moulds were stolen 20 years ago.

They can always recast them. For a single use, it doesn't make sense, but given how much Hasbro loves repaints I can see them getting their mileage out of them.
