By way of ACtoys, we have a look at prototypes of the next release from third party group SXS Toys. They appear to be working on an accessory set for the MP-10 Masterpiece Optimus Prime Version 2, which so far is shown to include a rocket pack (from More than Meets the Eye Part 3 and Dinobot Island) as well as the oil pump accessory for Roller. The word is these are upscaled designs from the THS-02 Hybrid Style Convoy.

I noticed that the KBB downsized MP10V seems to come with a jet pack for Optimus Prime. I wonder if this one is at least the right size to add to MP Lambor?

SXS Jet pack:
MP Collector
I paid about $25 shipped for mine. While I like the add ons, I would not pay much more than that for them.
MP Collector
I got a set a few months ago for my Hasbro MP10. I am really happy with it.
Josh
if it was red and compatible with Sideswipe it'd be insta-sold

Got the takara deco because I prefer the jetpack in those colors and just painted the pump/gun royal blue.
I dig it. Nice snug fit though getting the hoses in was an annoying process since I dont have delicate fingers

Looks liek the guy who did this stop-motion animation of the Transformers bought one. Check out about 1 minute 30 seconds in the video…

The Japanese version looks more like the one in Dinobot Island part 2, yet goes with the Takara Prime who is more like the G1 toy Prime than the Hasbro Sunbow cartoon version. Pre-ordered the Japanese version for my Hasbro Prime. Sweet.

lol innit. Ppl go nuts for Sideswipes piledrives yet hate on this?
Meh, I dig it and like the little nods to the cartoon. For the compatibility for 'swipe and Prime surley they could just hinge some pieces on a smaller pack then extend for Prime? Especially as the inside is hollow so the extended pieces could easily be hidden/folded inside for Sideswipe to wear. Or am I being too simple here?
Skrunklemin
Yeah this is stupid. I personally don't care for one-shot homages at all.
Star Saber
A whole bunch of people actually. You should take a look at the multiple threads for MP Sideswipe. The size is just wonky though. I think I understand why Takara didn't go for it.
Cal
Yeah, this might have some merit if it was interchangeable with Sideswipe. But as it stands, I don't see much interest in an accessory Prime borrowed for one episode.
kaotika
Also attach to Lambor or GTFO.
Bnz Toy
Wow, I have zero interest in this. Who even asked?
REMINATOR
Overall looks nice, my only complaint is that when looking at Prime from the front you see the tip jetpack is hollow. Maybe they should make the edge solid so it hides the hollow. If Sideswipe can also use this jetpack, then I'm mostly I'm, assuming they'll modify the edge of jetpack too.
Master Blaster
Yeah, a little too big. Considering it's actually Sideswipe's rocket pack and all…
Put me down as another vote for a slightly bigger gun!
primetime77
seriously as cool as the folding gun gimmick is, the blaster is just WAY too damn small. I use the Mp-04 blaster (which itself was a tiny tiny bit small for mp-01) which is only slightly oversized looking on mp-10. Its grey though so not ideal. you'd think there would be a market for this!?
backlash3906
That… looks pretty nice. Just wish I had an action stand that could deal with MP-10's heft.
Now can some-party get on giving us an accurate blaster for this dude?

That main image definitely brought back a memory of that scene:
"My rocketpack?"
"NOW!"
(then again, could the rocketpack scene have been slightly-homaged in the 'Get out of the car' scene in 2007's 'Transformers?').
OptimusTimelord
Yeah if you can. Guess if it's G1 Prime size it's more likely to scale with MP-12 than MP-10, but if it's anywhere near I'd like to see how it looks. I just checked the Dinobot Island clip and Prime, Warpath, Perceptor, Beachcomber, Smokescreen, Trailbreaker and Ironhide all slip on that same jetpack. So getting a scale that fits all those guys (especially minibots!) would be quite the challenge
