I think that it'll be either Rodimus, Thundercracker, or Galvatron. Those are my guesses, at least. I really want a Bumblebee, though!

Well since the bots got 1 mold and cons 2 molds I'd say either...

Soundwave w/Laserbeak
Shockwave
Skywarp (starscream repaint)
Thundercracker (Starscream repaint)
Blaster
Jetfire (basically Classics Jetfire taken a whole step further and scaled to MP size. Oh it can be done

)
Ironhide (for the sake of finally providing the consumers with a show-accurate Ironhide)

I would love to see Shockwave that has a good transformation as well as a light-up cannon arm. Now that would kick ass. Speaking of ass, they should do that bad-ass Dinobot we all kow as Grimlock. I don't know if he's all that popular in Japan, but people here seem to love him. Other than him, I'd like to see any Triple Changer, perferebly Astrotrain or Blitzwing. Here, I jhave a whole list of possible MP's:

Perfect Ultra Magnus
Shockwave
Skywarp
Thundercracker
Sunstorm
Hot Rod (Rodimus)
Ironhide/Ratchet
Bumblebee/Cliffjumper
Soundwave & a Cassetticon (Laserbeak or Ravage)
Soundwave means Soundblaster
Slag
Roadbuster

IMO, once you down the Starscream path, you can't not do the other Seekers. And why do 4 outta 7? It's not that hard to re-tool the mold a little bit so that the head is like a cone......and each of the Coneheads just need a little work on each of their wings........

they need to just pad the line with starscream repaints, not bombard us with the same figure over and over.

i thought they couldnt do bumblebee anymore because VW wont give them the licensing rights? i think i'd rather see no bumble bee than an inaccurate one. i could do without him anyway. there's plenty of g1 transformers out there that can be made without expensive licensing right.

I would love to see some BW/BM Masterpiece figures, maybe a BM Primal and how bout Tankor.

But why did they release Starscream in those colours (looks more like thundercracker really), who were they trying to please?!?

Oh they wanted the jet mode to look more 'realistic' than cartoony, so I guess that's how a real one looks like. Bleh! I painted my MP Starscream as it is, so I'm happy. :grin:

Yes, I'd like to see another Seeker. I'd opt to purchase MP Starscream, but the colors are unimpressive.

Care to share some images of that?

Isn't doing repaints constitute a "bombardment" of the same figure over and over?

Wed Feb 07, 2007 9:25 pm

whoops. i mean bombard us all at once. like MP6 through MP9 being nothing but starscream repaints.

Depends. Do you consider a repaint an new character or just a repaint. For some reason I can justify seeker repaints to myself. Yet the majority of other repaints I will not buy.

Although I'm happy enough with MPSS as is. Skywarp being my favorite color scheme would warrent a repurchase though. And I have my MP Valk to stand in for Jetfire so My numbers will be fair enough when MPMegs arrives.

Although a show accurate Skyfire would be most interesting. Jetfire is one thing but Skyfire they could acctually get away with doing the show version since it is plenty different enough.

A Beast Wars MP would be pretty cool. Complete with real hair!

Wed Feb 07, 2007 10:42 pm

I mentioned Sunstreaker earlier, but the thought of a Masterpiece Sideswipe and Sunstreaker together in one large package would be pretty awesome. Please do that Takara. :-)

Unfortunately, as I have stated many times, I am w/out any type of technology that would allow me to share my beautiful silver Starscream w/you guys. Sorry........

You know you can buy disposable digital cameras now. Or spend $50 and get a cheap low end model. Or an off brand like Aiptek. I have a 6MP I paid $130 for and it does video as well. Digital cameras are hardly a major investment these days. Unless you want to make them one and get some professional grade 10MP job.

Use your damn cellphone camera and share the pretty silver screamer!

I'm sure that would have crossed him mind already, though he may not like the quality of his camera phone, or he may have no way to get the pic from his phone to his comp, or he may not have a Camera phone :-?

I would love to see this re-painted Screamer too, this was the only Masterpiece that i was thinking of getting, but i quickly changed my mind when i saw the chosen colours, i wouldn't have minded if his colours were a bit off, but this :MAD:

I'd like to see a show accurate Bumblebee. The poor guy has been stuck as a tiny transformer forever and doesn't really resemble the cartoon version. Plus with the movie coming out I think he's going to gain a lot of popularity. It will be right up Takara's alley because they can turn around slightly mod the body and repaint him red for Cliffjumper later on. I'd also like to see:

Soundwave (complete with all the tapes)
Grimlock
Constructicons (to scale with the current Masterpiece line so that they can create a huge Devastator)
Jetfire

I'm hoping that they will eventually release a proper Ultra Magnus instead of the Prime repaint. I would like to see the seekers and a repaint of Starscream and I hope that they will release the silencer and stock for the Megatron Masterpiece unless they were planning on re-releasing him with all his accessories much like they did with Optimus Prime and his trailer.

I would like to see a MP Unicron. Sure he was big. But there are others that are not MP, like the RID Prime/Magnus combo that are the same size.I want a massive Unicron.

News Credits: 2 · Tue Feb 13, 2007 10:45 pm

My guess is Soundwave with Rumble frenzy Laserbeak and Ravage.

Who has $50-$130 to be spend on cameras when there are so many Transformers that need to be bought? Maybe the next Masterpiece will be Reflector that actually takes real pictures, then you can kill 2 birds with one stone.
