Really? "Year of the 'Cons", huh?

With apologies to the Rolling Stones I have a theory as to how Takara will generate new MP 'Cons next year:

They see the Autobot cars
And they're gong to paint them black.
No new molds anymore,
the old molds will turn black...

Prove me wrong Takara.

Bring on MP Blitzwing, Astrotrain, the Coneheads and Megatron v2.0.

I dare you.

well lets see first they have to repaint and re-lease this mold about 3 more times then they have to do the same with BB and then Ultra Magnus so I will say it will be a good 6-8 re-paints before we get something new but yes I will have this to stans with my decepticons

But with AOE and Prime now done, and Generations line up revealed (through Hasbro), Takara can focus back on MP.

I think there will be some more surprises coming after Star Saber.

But I need to get the MP-11, 12 and 14 reissue first if the following pic is true.

I hope that image is accurate, I'll hold off MP11 if that price holds true.

Didn't they already rerelease all of those?

The 2014 reissues are distributed by Hasbro Asia for mainly the China market at a premium gouging price.

The 2015 reissues (if it's true) will be distributed by Takara Tomy for the Japanese domestic market at their original 2012 release price.

Thanks for the info. Now I'm wishing I held off on the MP 11 and also tempted to pick up some more if they do get rereleased.

Thats what was said about the recent MP-8X re-release and I never saw it up on any of ghe usual Japanese retailer site. Quite the opposite in fact. This is what I fear for my precious MP-11 reissue

That's why I said "If the pic is true". I personally take it as rumour unless it's an official announcement by Takara.

With any luck the next MP revealed will be MP Jazz or Sunstreaker. Heck, even a Diaclone blue Ultra Magnus would be cool.

They can paint it yellow add a new head and Call it MP-20SS or MP-25
