which is exactly why I brought up the Beast wars Telemocha Series toys, which are perfectly scaled to interact with the two larger MP molds.Tidalwavex wrote:it's not a question of could it happen. it's a question of should it happen.
personally i don't think it should happen. because of size scale media issues. in order for the beastwars media characters to be in size scale with G-1 media characters in the masterpiece TF toy line.
Not THAT small. Remember that the G1 characters were not so insanely tall like the Unicron Trilogy or movie bots. The current toy scale of the Beast wars toys is scaled just fine to the two largest of the Masterpiece molds.Tidalwavex wrote:the beastwars MP TF toys would need to be legends or basic sized MP TF toys to be in proper media size scale.
Masterpiece Beast wars toy molds would, hence them being, you know, Masterpieces.Tidalwavex wrote:I also don't think the beastwars toy designs meet the standards of the masterpiece TF toy line.
You underestimate the Beast Era and overestimate G1. Those who hate Beast Wars are largely outweigh by those who like it, those who don't know of it are likely those who don't know of G1 either, and as evidenced by this thread, G1 is not as well loved as many believe.Tidalwavex wrote:lastly,IMHO,The beastwars toy line/show is so out of the spot light that some loathe it,some are not familiar with it,some newbies don't care to get familar with it. un-like G-1 that is timeless & loved by a big majority of people. the beastwars has a small following & those followers might not want MP Beastwars toys due to media size scale issues in relation to G-1 Media scaled MP TF toys.
Now there's an idea! though, one minor quibble about it is that it would become expected for each nominated Hall of Fame winner to be given a Masterpiece each year. It would becoem a bit repetitive over time, and if it were to be in production early enough for it to be released in time for the Hall of Fame event, there could very well be factory leaks put onto the Internet, thus spoiling who the winner would be. But, if it were to be produced after the event, then we'd be waiting quite a while for the winner of an event that took place a while to be released in MP form.Rodimus Prime wrote:One twist I would love to see is the order they get released is the same order they go in the Hall of Fame. That means BWMP-01 would be Dinobot and BWMP-02 would be Waspinator.![]()

And, you asked about Maximals and Predacons, whereas BM Megatron is a Vehicon.

Plus, don't forget about the time Optimus Primal and Megatron grew giant sized to be of the same height as the Autobots and Decepticons.![]()

Every transformers cartoon from 1984 thru 2011 has mistakes in it. even the CGI transformers cartoons/movies.
Answer to your question,No,I don't care about stuff like that. I'm no trivia guy. I prefer just to watch the TF cartoon & enjoy them. I don't feel the need to memorize stuff & compete in trivia contest or get quized by others.
I have a very good memory. I only need to see something once & I remember it for a life time. I remember stuff I did when I was three years old. I have what they call a video/picture memory. I can remember & see stuff that happened 20 plus years ago like i'm watching a video in my mind.

I grew up with G1, I'm now 32 years old, but Beast Wars is my absolute favorite fiction from the entire TF franchise. I think it will see a revival one day.

Maybe a 20th year anniversary deal? We just got the 15th year deal a few years back. I bought rat-trap, and was puzzled as to why his back was upside-down...

And that can also explain why Star Saber and Victory Leo, who are supposed to be gestalt-sized, appear to have shrunken down to average G1 Transformer height.BeastProwl wrote:and in Robot Masters, they are the same size. The reason for this is due to the inter-dementional pull. So, they are bigger in that demension. That's just how it works. use you imagination and your photographic memory to enjoy the fact that they CAN be the same size, if the situation demands it.

Going by that logic there shouldn't be MP figures based on G1 characters, since BW engineering blows G1 out of the water and violates it while calling it My little Pony names.
