Will there be a Hasbro release of MP Ultra Magnus?

Sorry if this was confirmed or mentioned already. But will there be a Hasbro release of the MP22 Ultra Magnus? I have seen the image of the art work of the Hasbro Asia exclusive one, but will there be a regular Hasbro version? The price of Asia exclusive MP11SW is a bit crazy. Just wondering if I should just pick up the Takara MP22 now instead of waiting for the Hasbro version.

No official word but if MP22 hits North American shelves I'd bet money it'll be a scarcely stocked TRU exclusive in 2016 with an MSRP of $250 USD / $280 CAD.

No official news that I'm aware of.

It's possible but I wouldn't count on it too much.

The safest and cheapest way to get MPs is usually just to pre-order them on HLJ or Anime-Export as soon as they go up.

I'm expecting him to be announced by Hasbro either at SDCC or NYCC, as a TRU exclusive. Price wise, I'd go with $150 to $175 CAD, based on Hasbro's version of MP10 and MP Soundwave.

I would like to say they will try to sell it at 199.99 seeing as how Bluestreak is going for 89.99

If it's over $200, it kinda defeat the purpose of getting the hasbro version unless there is anything extra accessories. Still wish they would do one though

Might be one of the rare instances where the Hasro version eclipses the Takara version. I.e, Hasbro MP Optimus Prime vs. Takara MP-10

Bet they do MP UM in toy colours, light blue

I gotta say, as much as I like the G1 toy, the darker blue looks better to me. Maybe Hasbro will throw in more paint apps? highly unlikely
