I'd mark out for Star Saber.

Are any Autobots really as iconically related to the franchise as Starscream is? Grimlock's probably the closest. Maybe Ironhide or Jazz. Screamer built up a cult recognition thing solely by being the most developed character in the cartoon*. Beyond that, people's favourite Autobots generally depend on which random car somebody got for Christmas.

How about a Masterpiece Unicron? I'd buy it.

MP Devastator would be nice. Do all 6 of them Prime-sized... and with the ability to combine! Imagine that...

In Autobot car terms id have a guess that Bubmble-bee is the most recognaised Autobot TF after Optimus.

well, even my GF knew BB was a yellow beetle...

VW would never go into it, sadly...

But maybe the Japs don't even care...? I doubt they are paying the makers of the Walther gun or the F-14 any copyright fees.

it looks like the guys over at tfw2005 have some pics of the new MP Megatron - Megs was my 2nd transformer I ever owned, and I loved him.

I think this looks really cool myself, ill be picking him up along with MP Optimus - they will look so cool on my Desk!

He's incredible.. as I can tell from the pics, I think his thighs and chest will be die-cast, just like on the original one. I bet he'll be heavy... MP Prime is incredibly heavy too.

I really love the little Kremzeek, obscure cartoon char as he was.
