Two new, not seen before Mighty Muggs have appeared for sale on the chinese auction site Taobao. Both are based on Generation 1 characters and it is unknown if and when they will be offered for sale. Ironhide and Prowl may be part of a fourth wave of Mighty Muggs probably offered after the Wave 3 Jazz, Shockwave, Movie Optimus Prime, and Movie Bumblebee. Wave 3 also remains unreleased and with the first two being seen on chinese message boards, and the final two at this years SDCC.

Loving these guys. Prowl is full of win.

If this was a Transformer, yes. But Mighty Muggs all share the same ' mold', except some little extra parts are molded seperately, and these parts are probably very cheap to create anyway.
There is no sense in releasing repaints of a Mighty Mugg unless the repaint is just as iconic as the regular one. (Black Spider-Man for example). Thundercracker and Skywarp just aren't that iconic or well-known to ' the masses', although some of these people are bound to buy an Optimus or Starscream because they remember them from their youth.
In the end, except for the couple of added parts, all Mighty Muggs have the same shape, so the appeal of them is the different characters to make them look different. A color change probably won't cut it.

Oh man! I must have these!

Not a big M.m. collector, but I'm loving Prowl and if I can find him released on the street, he's going home with me
. Maybe Ironhide too.

You mean simply make more seeker repaints? Problem with that is only Starscream is the really-well-known one, Thundercracker and Skywarp have been more or less relagated to extra-repaints duty, and while simply repainting Starscream into his seeker bretheren would be a good use of the mold, the general public would not know who they were, and so would not buy a different colored Starscream. The toy repaints at least have mini-bios on the backs of the box, but not MM's.

why would they not make thundercraker and skywarp its like selling starscream all over gain only with black and blue paint. They would easily make money off it since they already created the mold.

I can understand why some people don't really like the mighty muggs. It took me a minute to warm up to them. But for some reason, now, I love em. I don't what it is

I'll say I'm at least interested, I've got the six that were already released all MISB. The one thing I like about Mighty Muggs is their packaging is just as displayable as the figure inside.

I'm a HUGE Mighty Muggs fan, I have all of the other ones, so I'll be looking for these soon enough.

Well I see your point about the mighty muggs since they pretty much are all repaints of the same figure minus a few body parts and accessories.
Regardless tho, i think it would suck if they don't make thundercracker and skywarp. T_T

I'm not really interested in these Mighty Muggs, but the Ironhide and Jazz really looks tempting.
Nightrain
Prowl looks freakin sweet.

I wouldn't get your hopes up..repaints make sense in Transformers, not so much in Mighty Muggs that are easier and faster to produce. There's a big chance they don't see recolors viable..

I'm hoping for the eventual Thundercracker and Skywarp repaints to get here sooner than later.
Nemesis Liger
My gosh… I didn't expect anymore of these little jewels to be released. *excited*
Ohes, now that I've seen these I'm hoping for the release of a Ratchet and Bluestreak MM in the future. *crosses fingers*
Paxtin
Heh, I like Prowl's expression.
"Can ya Smellll what the Prowllll is cooken!?"

If these aren't released, nerd rage will fill the land.
I know a lot of people think they're dumb (along with any TF item that doesn't TRANSMORPH) but they're pure awesomeness imo.
cobra zartan
Didnt think these would actually come out, heres some proto images I have of them
samtastic
Both amazing! Hope they are released!

Still not really feeling the Mighty Muggs. Also, it looks like Ironhide is wearing briefs, which amuses me.
