TF08.net has posted information about this new development here.
According to iGears:
Reason for Design Idea
MP01 and MP04 don't seem to fit nicely alongside the battle rollar, a G1 classic accessory.
Design main facts: MP01 will be the basis of design. G1 will used as a guide, with maintaining the good points of THS02.
The following are the current design ideas:
1) the wheels will be made in rubber
2) the wheels will be able to turn and have suspension function
3) more metallic materials will be used
4) headlights will made to be lit up
5) the battle rollar will follow MP01 colour scheme, the paint will be similar
6) more details will be added to the battle rollar, to fit the realistic nature of MP series
7) more details to be added
We'll keep you posted with updates.

Maybe they'll drive each other down to affordable levels.

best bet for the value...
Sure, it's not all crazy accessorized, but Battle Rollar is really not in the MP line style and he does not fit properly into the trailer.

I feel exactly the same way! I wanted a Roller for my MP-04 but 1. I didn't want him to transform (since when does Roller transform??) and look more in line with the movie figures than the MP line, and 2. I didn't want a blown up version of the mainly one-piece, boring G1 version. I loved the THS-02 version and wished they had made an official version for the MP-04 set based on that. This is sounding to be a perfect balance of everything.
