im not so sure about that... hastak has a tendency to tease us with a trio, and only give us two. im sure everyone remembers what happened with the classics seekers. im banking on takara giving us skywarp and thundercracker (MP11 mold) sometime soon simply because the MP line has been very autobot centric lately. and adding two decepticons like that would be effortless.CenturionSAM wrote:So I guess we are going to get all of the Rainmakers
Before Skywarp.
i believe someone already stated it, but its because they were worried about theft. i bet the takara MP car boxes could easily fit under a sweater....AutoBorst wrote:Jesus Christ, Hasbro. How can you justify that enormous box for MP Prowl? That's absurd.

I think there are 13 now!

I actually think we were both wrong and there are 11:
1. MP-3 Starscream
2. MP-3G Ghost Starscream
3. MP-6 Skywarp
4. MP-7 Thundercracker
5. MP-11 Starscream
6. MP-11S Sunstorm
7. Hasbro Starscream
8. Hasbro Skywarp
9. Hasbro Thundercracker
10. Hasbro Acid Storm
11. Hasbro Sunstorm
Did I miss anything?
Yes.Seibertron wrote:And wasn't there something different about Takara's USA Edition of MP-03 Starscream? I never got that one.
the original mold for the tail fins was used, an extra Decepticon symbol was added to Starscream's nosecone (which was present on his original toy, but not his animation model), and his black "scorch mark" paint operations were dialed back, and those that remained were switched to a lighter gray.

Nope you are correct. I miscounted the 7 in the picture I posted as 9. Because, well, counting to 9 is hard.
Seibertron wrote:ScottyP wrote:I'm still waiting for the group shot with all 12 MP seekers.
I think there are 13 now! I'll probably do that when Skywarp comes out or if all 3 of the Coneheads are released. Last time I did the group shot was when there were 9 available when MP-11 Starscream came out.

Both Takara Skywarp and Thundercracker (and the original Takara Starscream) came with sticker sheets that included the wing stripes for each.shajaki wrote:your MP03 thundercracker and skywarp... are there reprolabel stripes on the wings? mine have been boxed away for some time but i recall them being flat black and blue.

All Generations figures, at least the Deluxes, have a port in te back of the hips. A regular Tamashii stand will do just fine. Those are used for high-end figures like S.H. Figuarts.
Is this what you are referring to?

That's the one. Some Figuarts figures come with their own versions, differing only in whats printed on it. That's all I can tell you, maybe somebody can fill in some of the details?
the voyagers have the port too. look on them.
Next question ... anyone know where I can those that is cheaper than the current prices on Amazon?

And in a review, I found out that the AoE toys aren't the only ones to have those holes: Gen. Sky-Byte has one too! Also, Figma stands make a decent substitute, just don't put any real weight on them.
