I don't think they will do any other Masterpiece figures than leaders and 2nd in command.

I don't even think they will do Thundercracker or any other dinobots.

Maybe Thundercracker, because it would be just a simple repaint (why took it so long just repainting Starscream? They could release Thundercracker and Skywarp at the same time)

It would be awesome having the complete giant MP Dinobots, but I don't think so.

This is no G1 re-issue toyline.

I hate reading people begging for some stupid small and not important characters like Ironhide, Jazz (even Bumblebee) and some others for the MP line.

This will not happen! You got them in the Binaltech/Alternators line. That's it!

The logical choice for the MP line would be Grimlock, Galvatron, Soundwave, Rodimus and maybe Shockwave.

Constructicons would be a cool choise too, because of the popularity of Devastator. But this won't happen.

If they keep on releasing the toys every 6-9 months like they do at the moment, it would take years having them!

I hope Grimlock will be the next, can't wait to see the first pictures...

I think Takara-Tomy releases the MP about every 6-9 moths for a reason. This would allow loyal MP fans to recover and save up for the next MP. The TF market is flooding with all kinds of toys. So if T-T releases all three seekers at the same time, how would the sales be? That would be like $90- each and not everyone has that kind of money. After all, MP line are quite expensive and definitely not a child's price range. Its best to build anticipation and keep the fans interested so that the fans can look forward to the new character(s). The demand for the MP line is considerable to produce new character. So if it takes T-T years to make high-quality MP, so shall be it. I'd rather have quality and anime accurate than a half-a$$ MP.

Quick semi-related question:

 

MP-05 can't be imported into the US unless it's been modified with an orange plug, is that for any "gun-mode" or just the realistic ones? I'd hate to think of Shockwave with a huge orange plug in him.

 

(Which is odd, by the way, because you can order the Takara Encore version of Megatron on Walmart.com and there's no orange plug to be found. Strange...)

I think it applies to anything that can be held like a gun.

 

Classic Megatron was required to have the plug.

 

Since it was to be sold in the us, it was integrated in the figure design.

 

I'm pretty sure that a Shockwave figure would need a plug. A really big plug,

considering the overall shape of Shockwave gun mode.

That would really suck if true. You'd think the huge gray casing would be enough...stupid import laws.

That would be great, a new non-repaintable mold

Well, Rodimus Prime probably IS the coolest Winnebago ever.

 

 

LOL, as much as I don't like the character, I'd dig a Masterpiece Rodimus Prime. Same thing for Galvatron.

 

 

Yo, Gasket, isn't that chick in your sig and avy a porn star? I know I've seen her on the interweb doing some...research. Yeah, that's it--research.

It would be pretty sweet to get a 12" transforming T-Rex for my shelf...

 

Hopefully he comes with an apron accessory.

You is correct.

I'd love to see Grimlock get the Masterpiece treatment,maybe the rest of the Dinobots too.
