No interest. I am a huge Blaster fan but TR has just done a remake of the original toy which even added extra features so he has already had an MP style update.

I couldn't care less for MP Blaster or Soundwave. But I'm very interested in the tapes.

But he must be represented in his full Sunbow glory. TR Blaster doesn't work on the MP shelf at all.

I thought I could feel my llama-sense tingling... The people need me! *clears fingers* FUCKING SILHOUETTES! No need to thank me, citizens... Anyhoo, a *remold* of MP Steeljaw? Er. There hasn't actually a mold yet. Has there..? Also, considering that Ratbat was never released as part of a smaller set, the inclusion of a remold here really pisses me off. Although since it's Wingthing, I'll have to get it anyway. Dammit. |

How can this be MP 15 AND 16? I am confused. I thought we were on number 20-something?

Two cassettes to a box, right? But, yeah, I don't know how they've gone backwards with the numbers... especially when 15 and 16 are already used.

And the Wiki says Sunstreaker is MP-39...

MP 15 & 16 were the original tapes so MP 15/16e looks like a recolour box combining those sets..... even though Ratbat & Steeljaw weren't in them and Steeljaw hasn't been released yet. But it adds a lot more dredence to MP Blaster coming down the line. |

Are these new moulds or the 80's moulds?

These are the existing Masterpeice moulds which have been around a few years now, bar Steeljaw which is new.

Well that's not at all confusing for those of us who get very excited about the numbering system, is it. How can that be 15/16 when there's what looks like a new or remould in there? E hasn't been used before. I hope they can explain themselves!

We're guessing based on the moulds being the MP versions of the toys that were in the Encore Twincast and Soundblaster sets.

It's not guessing; it's how they're listed on the TT website.
Disappointed this is not an individual Ratbat release, but turning my MP Soundwave into MP Action Master Soundwave - now that's something!

This has happened a few times before, but it's interesting here that the only one of the four you can do that with is the new mould.

I was just thinking - we get toys through various means these days whether that be retail or some kind of exclusive, and these cassettes appear to be from the Hasbro Asia/Takara Tomy Mall exclusive channel, which is where the Cone Heads came from. So whereas Takara go Diaclone for their MP repaint re-releases, Hasbro Asia seem to be happy to do some remoulding where necessary to release other Transformers that Takara seem not to want to do. So, if Hasbro Asia have now modded the Starscream mould to make the Coneheads, and may or may not have tweaked the cassette moulds to make these Encore ones, what else might they be thinking? I think this is very precise; it's where the base mould for a G1 figure has been reused with minor amendments - like changing the wings on the jets.
