One way to check is to look for any car licensing on the packaging. If there is, we may see an MP Meister yet.
Spoilers.... There is none. SS86 Jazz unfortunately is not a licensed Porsche, as much as it looks like one.
But does it have to be licensed though?
Just a few mods to the vehicle like for the SS figure and they are in the clear.
Would be the first MP car outside of Hot Rod to not be licensed if that were the case.
Not impossible, but kind of strange for a line priding themselves in Vehicle and robot mode cartoon accuracy that has in fact licensed every other real world car.
Considering the original toys were exact replicas of vehicles (albeit unlicensed due to lack of proper legislation at the time), called out as such, and animation models were made based on them, it's not strange at all. The Mini-Bots were Super-Deformed, yes, but the original Microman toys called out the exact models of 3 to 4 of them.
What I mean is it would be strange for Takara to not license the Porsche alt mode for the MP line if they ever get around to making Meister.
The point being Takara has licensed the vehicle mode of every other real world car in the MP line so far, so would be strange for them to not actually want to license the Porsche alt mode for Meister.
The fact the SS86 Jazz is unlicensed is not terribly surprising.
