Takara Tomy still remains silent about MP-09 new product issue in 2010 but "2010 Commemorative Special Exhibit" was held in high profile. Although Rodimus Prime is not mentioned in speech, fire frames and silver tailpipe are suggesting to players: Rodimus Prime will be back. Even acrostic is used in introduction of Convoy Sleep Mode which clearly indicates next MP-09 is Rodimus Prime.

Just published Japanese toy magazine finally released formal information that there's no doubt the next MP-09 is Rodimus Prime. Attached picture is just exterior design of Rodimus Prime in the earliest period and there seems no chance of transforming. However, this is nothing but an approach to attract readers constantly.
