>>6725548MPs don't even do fun repaints anymore. I wonder if it's not worth the return on investment. With the recent barrage of re-releases, I wonder if Takara realized it's more lucrative to just re-issue an old Sunbow character than it is to make an obscure repaint like Loudpedal or Clampdown that sits on the shelves because 30-something collectors don't care about characters that weren't in the cartoon.. It's been since last August when the last Diaclone repaint happened (Delta Magnus, and he's still in stock most places) and it's not like they don't have a fuckton left to do, and we don't even have an announcement.
>>6725570My fav is Artfire, because I'm Artfire-Anon. Everything about him is 10/10, he's everything good about the Fuso mold, but with a better paint job and a fucking all-new Targetmaster. I honestly can't believe they went that extra mile for him. I wish they had remolded his shin panels to give him some more toy-based detail (since Artfire was never in any show), but I can't complain. Love him to bits.
Soundwave is good, but honestly one of my least played-with dudes. I was thinking of trying to trade him for a Soundblaster, because he would make a great buddy for Loudpedal.
