Why would Takara care? When have they ever cared if we could obtain their exclusives?
Takara Missing Link G1 Series

It is Takara though. Maybe they'll realize how difficult it would be to do other designs and take that as a challenge.
Yeah they've reissued G1 Megs and they've done three (maybe more?) releases of gun Megatron in the MP line.
They're not concerned about Hasbro's ability to release it. They'll do it if they want to do it.
MP-01 was supposed to be a one-off, and it evolving into a full line was kind of haphazard, right?
I could see TT learning from that and maybe intending ML to just be Prime but having plans ready to go to expand it if it's successful.

Though, to be a little fair, all of those happened before Hasbro Pulse came about to be a direct import venue for TakaraTomy exclusives.
Big question would be if Hasbro Pulse picks up the ML figures
It has.

But, bizarrely, thinks they're MP toys.
They're masterpieces to me.
Tbf didn't Hasbro Pulse do the same with that one Optimus Prime that's a redeco of the Kingdom Ultra Magnus cab with that magnetic flight stand?
Ha!It has.

I donno. I'm sure TT is happy to have an easy outlet for their stuff in Hasbro's markets but I don't think they're going to be too concerned with Western gun safety laws if they just really want to do G1 Megs.
I assume they find it simpler from a marketing perspective to label it as an MP since it's priced the way it is.
But yeah if Takara decided to do a Megatron, I imagine Pulse just wouldn't carry it.
The Hasbro listing was the first time I saw the MP label applied, and it immediately made sense to me (partly because it clicked for me that "oh, that's why it's pricey"). That's kind of the niche this is going for. High-end recreation of the classic product, with more engineering and parts.
I hope they make a Hot Rod. Maybe a Rodimus Prime. Either of those would be an absolute win.

I got the 3rd Party take on that…a LONG time ago. It will be interesting to see how TaKara approaches the concept. Love the extra bazooka with Cliffjumper, too.
I must admit, I was hoping for an Autobot Car or Seeker before touching mini bots, but I’m guess if TT feels confident about doing the mini bots, they’ll get to more significant figures later.

These are abominations. I want them.
It make sense to have some lower priced releases before they do another big item like Megatron or Soundwave.

Do Ironhide or Ratchet you cowards
These are TLTL for me.
That looks pretty neat to me!
We are unworthy.
