Encore 23 is...

Spoiler: Highlight to view
Fortress Maximus. April, $350.

And MP-15 is Ravage and Rumble. March, $60. No pics yet.

I'll definitely be picking Ravage and Rumble up, but I don't think I'll be able to make myself spring for Fort Max. :b

It's cool to see him released. But I was fortunate enough to pick up the Korean version during the Robots in Disguise run for half that price.

GAH! I pre-ordered Forty Max. I guess I still have time to change my mind, but it's kinda hard to resist the chance to pick up the biggest G1 TF ever without having to drop over a grand for it.

Pre-ordered Fortress Maximus on BBTS as soon as I saw it. While the price will certainly be cheaper at MSRP after exchange than $350, shipping is only around $20 at BBTS as apposed to Japanese shipping starting at $78. Lots of money, but I've got until April. I almost got that Korean Brave Maximus from BBTS back in the day, but passed. Even if I had gotten it I'd still go for this.

Kinda disappointed that MP-15 is Ravage and Rumble, feels like it should have been MP-13B or something. I suppose MP-16 will be Buzzsaw and Frenzy.

As Emerje suspected, MP-16 is Rumble & Buzzsaw. BBTS listed a preorder this morning. MP-10B is Black Convoy.

No... they really should, though. One of the complaints (of many) about the original was that the gun mode was actually too big.

Fort Max is tempting, but I have the Car Robots one stuck in a box somewhere, and this one would eventually end up the same way, I think. Plus the yen conversion rate is so much worse, besides just general inflation, that it would be way more than I paid for my other one...

Boy am I glad that Ravage and Rumble are being sold by themselves and not packaged with some reprint of Soundwave. That's awesome. It's sorta disappointing that the MP slot is used on some rather unimpressive offerings, but hey, they are both unique sculpts and not repaints, so that's maybe an awesome MP slot. Just small.
