    Well, like I said, MPG-19 is Soundwave, but it's just a repaint of MP-13. But I'm hearing that MPG-20 is a brand new mold for Hot Rod, and @sh9000 already mentioned that MPG-21 is Blaster. Working back from 19, 18 is Roadhauler ( a green repaint of Inferno), 17 is Style-Gen Optimus Prime, and 16 is the black Nucleon Quest repaint of Super Ginrai, so that's all G1 or G1-adjacent. The problem is, as @Scyla noted, the old MP line evolved a bit from more realistic robots to slavishly Sunbow, but that evolution was gradual and part of a pretty consistent design language and scale. MPG is pretty much anything Takara thinks is a more high-end toy, giving it a more scattershot lineup where you have to pay attention and cherry pick what you actually want.

    There's a bunch of stuff in the OT that was definitely not "for kids." George was always full of crap about that.

    Didn't need a new trailer as I was gonna see it anyways, lol.

    FYI, Hasbro decided to quit Pulsecon, and I expect the Pulsecon exclusives like Armada Nemesis Prime will turn up here.

    Yeah I still have my Hasbro Asia Soundwave, and while it works for me, if I wanted a slavish toon Soundwave this wouldn't be it, I would've grabbed the FansToys which is an incredible figure. Gotta agree this is an odd, rather lazy repaint, I'm wondering how well this will sell, it's an old, heavily dated mold, but it's more toon accurate, will that be enough for some to buy in, or double dip? Is the MP line slowing? Or at least the G1 line? I've got Rattrap on pre-order so Beast Wars is still coming, but what G1 stuff is announced or on pre-order right now? I can't really think of anything new, and that MP Cliffjumper that was leaked, what, a year ago, still hasn't seen the light of day right? Not even an official announcement? How odd.

    Looks like all of us have a long list of the remaining DX VF-1 and other variants on Bandai's wishlist, however can they complete them and not leave everything half done and to tick off more collectors off from completing the lineup (like they do as usual?

    MP-13 is still pretty great but those hips suck. They were trash 12 years ago and they are a big detriment to this repaint. I wished they would have redesigned them for this release for the people who want a toon style MP Soundwave. I’m happy with my Acoustic Wave though. MOG continuous to be a hodgepodge of odd choices. I don’t know what Takara is thinking.
  15. VF-Zero
    As long as i like the Valkyrie or any mecha design in an anime, i will probably grab it, if it is not too expensive.

    The first GREENLAND was good but didn't expect a sequel.

    ^^😬 The only story tie-in between Macross and Mospeada is Robotech. And that’s a can of worms you probably don’t want to go down. Mospeada as a stand-alone anime is actually pretty good. Cool designs, a compelling kick in the face to start the show off, interesting characters, and an enemy that may not exactly be destroying the Earth.

    I have never watched Mospeada, but i heard that it was connected to Macross so i grabbed a Sentinel RIOBOT series AFC-01I Legioss Iota some years ago and it was a nice looking Valkyrie design anyway. There were three of these Valkyries called Legioss in the Sentinel RIOBOT Mospeada line, i considered getting all of them, but decided to get only one because the other two were only in different color and i don't really know the anime so getting only one of them looked enough to me to have something from this branch of Macross as well.

    So I finally got my Sentinel blue Legioss x2 today. One I combined with the Tread and the other I display in soldier mode. It felt like a nightmare transforming it the first time. Especially the hips that had the pin twisted backwards on one leg. Once a understood the transformation i could get it from fighter to soldier mode in under 10 min. The look great on my shelf, a worthy successor to my old Robotech Alpha/Beta combo.

    So, it’s a bigger scaled figure, but they can’t get the arm-booster tops to sit flush in fighter mode?

    Hate being a Negative Nancy, but those cassettes... Oof! It's as if Hasbro is testing the degree to which collectors are willing to embrace material and design reductionism. Scoop these up and this process will shift again into another higher gear.

    What Roland Emmerich couldn't do in 2012 (a series that continued the events of the film) LionsGate goes and does it

    Agreed..!

    If SS86 Soundwave isn't for you, Takara announced MPG-19 will also be Soundwave. Before you guys get too excited, though, it looks like a repaint of MP-13. EDIT: If SS86 and MPG-19 aren't enough Soundwave for you, I'm also hearing that Missing Link Soundwave is coming next year as well.

    Also, I believe these are from Hobby Japan (source: Stone Cheung).
