We have to remember that masterpieces are only going to be made of the most popular/important characters in Transformers. Unfortunately Arcee doesn't stand a chance ditto Kup. If Cyclonus could be made by re-tooling one of the seeker molds then I could see it but there are 10 more popular characters who would need figures first and who would be more logical because repaint possibilities are almost as important as popularity with these expensive to make/produce figures

If hell froze over and they made a Masterpiece of her, I would buy it for sure. Yes, she's popular but you're talking about a character that has never had an accurate G1 version made suddenly jumping up into Masterpiece class. I would love to see it but I'm just being realistic.
The re-tooling makes perfect sense, as it saves money on making new molds. You've got a good point about Blaster/Soundwave.
but they do it with all the other lines already and with the costs involved in making these it's logical to make slight alterations - the Coneheads for example could easily be done with the Seeker mold.

I would never accept a retooling where it doesn't make sense, as expensive as the MP figures are to make, they're equally expensive to buy, and I personally would NOT STAND for Soundwave retooled as Blaster, or a MP Megatron even attempting to be passed off as anything but Megatron. The good news is no such retooling has yet occured in the line outside the Seekers which is completely appropriate. This is the Masterpiece line, it's supposed to be the one line with no shortcuts. Seekers of course, are a completely different story, and wholly unique among the TF community...lol

A quick question but does Roddy come with a Matrix or is that space in his chest for the one that comes with MP Optimus Prime?.
