Takara Tomy 30th Anniversary Website Now Live: Masterpiece Fan's Choice Details

Since Ginrai is so similar to G1 Optimus, Fort Max got plenty of rereleases and Star Saber has that tiny Robot Masters modern figure, my vote is for Dai Atlas.

The other seven (BW, Lion Convoy, Big Convoy, RID, Armada, Energon, Cybertron) all have pretty good figures already. I guess Armada could use some more articulation. But otherwise they seem like a waste of a Masterpiece slot.

1) Only one character per ballot
2) Do NOT give your return address, otherwise the votes will be rendered invalid.

I can't tell if there's a restriction on the amount of points you can actually put on the ballot.

Yes, one character per postcard. Since these are postcards, it seems that no return address or name is required, which makes sense since it is a vote and not a correspondence.


The instructions say to print it out on A4 sized paper, cut along the lines then fold it in half and glue it together to form the postcard. And of course to fill it out and use appropriate postage.
Deadline is the 31. of August

The illustrations for the Beast wars Primes including Primal, RID, Energon, and Cybertron are identical to their figures in almost every way!

You can say that for Armada Prime too, except the articulation.

Like I said before doing MP's of those characters would be wasting development time.
Even though recently I saw a custom MP Primal. It looked pretty awesome.

But I feel like the ones who deserve a Masterpiece are Powermaster Prime, Fortress Maximus (even though he's been recently reissued, it would still be SICK... two headmasters on an MP?), Dai Atlas, and Star Sabre.

Hey I actually would want to see all of those characters have a Masterpiece. That would probably take 7 years though.

I'd love an MP Superfire Convoy/RID Prime, but that would mean we'd need an MP God Magnus/RID Magnus and they'd need to combine into Godfire Convoy/Omega Prime. Way too much money.

How about an MP Primal and I'll call it a day.

Can't help thinking the same thing.

IMHO, I feel that only Super Ginrai, Star Saber, Dai Atlas, and Micron Densetsu Convoy would really need MPs since Fort Max is too big to do one (without breaking the scale they've set up for this line, that is), he just recently had his awesome Encore figure released, and everyone else besides him and the four I mentioned already have some pretty great toys that don't really need any MP updates.

Super Fire Convoy, Galaxy Convoy, and Beast Wars Telemocha Series Convoy (who IMO, already works great enough for a "MP Optimus Primal" in terms of size, deco, and mold), for instance, are some of the best Convoy toys we've ever gotten.

I hope people look at this logicaly. Yeah Fort max would be amasing, but ask yourself why? I thiink the best way to look at this is to look at the artists renderings. At the end of the day you want the best looking creation possible. Alot of the G1 figures could of been great but production methods restricted that. Look at MP Prime compare dto the original. Mp prime looks great. Now think about Fort Max, he has an alt mode that has no real world comparison, there for the robot mode doesn't have to have any compramises so it can transform into an alt mode, as we wouldn't be looking at the robot mode saying I cn see why his arms are like that becuase he needs to turn them into towers and therefor the looks are a result. Fort Max's only production restrictions were due to size. But overall Fort Max has a very unappealing Robot mode compared to some of the others, the only thing going for him is the size and the gimmick of a double headmaster. Lastly can you really can you really see them making him to scal elike the current range is in good scale, plus the cost will be really high, so I can live without Fort Max for now.
The only non G1 character I would like to see is Galaxy Force Convoy, but lets face it, his toy is pretty good anyway, and G1 figures are the ones that look the best and need an MP overhaul to realise there true potential.
If they make Star Sbare it's lining up a victory Leo and therefor a Victory Sabre so that would be a great one. Also God Ginrai especialy if they make a God Bomber too, woul dbe great, I hope it would be based more on the anime version with better proportioned legs as the main problem with the toy wa sthe akward legs and even that box art rendering isn't great. Dai Atlas is ok, I had the toy and he had a weird head, but an MP version could solve that, but still, his alt mode isn't great and the colours and overall asthetics aren't the best in the line up. I had a knock off version, so maybe that has tainted my opinion but it was pretty close, and looking at the colours they were the same, but its the design features like the wings an dthat, usualy I like wings on a robot like the seekers, etc but they were a hiderance aon the toy and overall, I just don't have a yerning to see this charcter brought MP standards, but if it's Dai Atlas or a non G1 character then I would go with Dai Atlas.
So my vote is definetly Star Sabre or God Ginrai, both will lead to extra MPs such as Victory Leo and God Bomber, and they will make for great visualy appealing creations.

If they "did" do a Masterpiece Fortress Maximus, it would make the most sense to make the mold be based on his IDW appearance, as that would fit in better size wise with the rest of the line. In the comics, FM is a big guy, but not city big.

Hopefully, if Star Saber is ultimately the winning choice for the MP toy, it will be designed to work with a future MP Victory Leo.

I would love to see a Micron Densetsu Convoy in MP form.

As much as I would love to see Star Saber get his own MP toy, I really want Armada Optimus Prime to get his own, for nostalgia's sake (and, well, my Optimus has suffered from GPS, now having only one arm in robot mode).

So could the runner-ups also receive MP toys?
