Last Prime = about time. TakaraTomy's last time to milk the Prime model. Reasonably priced at around 7500 Yen from amiami (for those that have missed out) but no deal for me. MP-01, MP-02, MP-04, MP-01B is enough for me. and the mp4s??? ;D

I don't mind all the versions, if it was a crap toy then yeah but MP Prime is probably one of the best toys created in the past 20 years. I have no doubt that in 25 years from now MP Prime will be one of the Holy Grails that future collectors will be hunting down, it's that good.

I think I'm good for anymore MP Primes, I had seven but sold three and I'm happy with the four I have, there's enough color variety for me.

So in the end this figure turned out to be completely identical to the original (as expected). However, after making such a big deal about the sound base announcing the name of MP-10... nothing. Nobody has heard any such announcement on the base. Only names said on the base are Megatron's and Rodimus' (Hot Rod). Way to blow it Takara Tomy. Emerje

Altogether there are 16 sound bytes on the display base, out of the 16 only one is considered a 'rare speech'. it comes out every once in awhile. It might be a hint: "We have nothing to mourn. I'll soon reborn!"

I think that message is what makes some of the other boards think there will be a new Prime mold for MP. That is why I would consider a Movie Prime to be next up.

Movie Prime would belong to the MMP line up (Movie Master Piece)? Some have said that the hint is the sound stage, as in the word SOUND. Who knows. Pretty good chance for people that has missed out on the last couple of releases to get this one again. It cool how it is stamped Last Shot on the back. Also cool that Megatron is also being reissued.

"We have nothing to mourn. I'll soon reborn!"
First, it can't be Ultra Magnuss Perfect Edition since this is the last usage of the mold, and it can't be Rodimus Prime since he just got released.
What other Autobots that fit these description?
Unless the voice clip is "just to be there" and does not necessary mean it's a hint for the next release.
I hope the next MP is Shockwave to have another Decepticon leader in the line.

People who are saying the use of the word "Sound" in "Sound Stage" is a hint or crazy. They said the hint would be a recording and they used the term Sound Stage to describe Rodimus' base, too. They never said they wouldn't use this mold again, just that they wouldn't release Prime/Convoy in this mold again. If that really is the hint on the stage then that's pretty interesting. It could be a new G1 version (though the original is already pretty perfect), Star Convoy, G2 Battle Convoy (Laser Optimus Prime), or even Beast Convoy (Optimus Primal, though it's a different character from the G1 counterpart). It won't be Powermaster Prime because he was a different character, Ginrai, in the Japanese stories. It's interesting, but I really thought there was supposed to be a reveal on the base, not a riddle. Emerje

I had seen one person mention a Rodimus in comic colors.

I had seen one person mention a Rodimus in comic colors. That has a better chance of being an extension of MP-9 and an exclusive than being MP-10. Not sure why Convoy would be the one saying that if it were the case either. Then again they never said they were announcing MP-10, they just said they were announcing the next MP. Could very well be that they are announcing Movie Prime if that's the case. Emerje

I would really like to see a new version of he MP Prime. I love this one, but I feel that there has been enough engineering in transforming robots accomplished over the past several years to warrant an update to the design. I really think the current comic version might be a good start in the ways of complexity and modern design. We might also see this being the last cab over semi truck as OP. Even if it is a classic inspired design. I bet we will see long nose trucks from here on out.
