See for me my Alts are my MP Autobot cars. Classics BB fills part of that gap too.

Oooh, you just gave me an excuse to pick up Legends BB. I can "promote" Classics BB to my MP/Alternators shelf, and Legends BB can go on my Classics shelf. :thumb

Then how would you guys try to explain Alternator Optimus/Binaltech Convoy?

Ginrai'D

 

that's always made the most sense to me

IIRC he was going to be released as Ginrai by TT, but Hasbro pushed the "Prime" label on the figure, as they wanted the big OP to get some representation in the Alt line.

Nope.

 

Hasbro wanted to release the Dodge Ram as a completely different character (I'd bet Ironhide) - but Takara balked because pick-up trucks aren't very popular in Japan, and felt the only way it would sell in Japan was for it to be a Convoy/Ginrai.

Either way, I like the idea of him being Ginrai in an Autobot Spike sort of way.

The point is to get more awesome toys. It's not like you HAVE to buy them, but for those of us who appreciate them, like myself, it's more than welcomed.

 

This. I still want my MP Ironhide.

Which is why the MP line is limited by nature. A MP Ironhide wouldn't be anything larger or complex as an Alt/BT.

A masterpeice Blitzwing would be cool though.

See, that to me would have "MP" value. Sure you could make MPs of a zillion different characters, oh look it's fifty cars and twenty jets, bla bla bla... but I think a triple changer would be a great choice for the "Masterpiece" treatment. Any one of them, really. Just because that's a separate category of Transformer that could be updated in a really cool way.

 

Unique stuff would always get my vote over "I need to complete my collection" concerns.

More unique than a weapons platform that has the shape of a t=rex and changes into a robot with demon wings and a ninja face??
