This is amazing as I've been able to articulate Sunstreakers ankles in such a way where he can balance on one foot. This will not be limited to Sunstreaker, I plan to design more Masterpieces to posses this ability.

I had hoped they'd figure out something for the chest, but if TakaraTomy can't figure out how to do it, it can't be done.
william-james88 wrote:I am not a fan of this part. I really like Lambor and Wheeljack because the transformation was complex but clean and while he had many moving parts, there was still a chunky feeling to it, especially in the upper torso. It gives him a real solid took too, same with Wheeljack. I would take that over having to fold a panel in 3 different ways to improve articulation. There are som parts of sunstreaker that end up looking like a mess here (the back pack, and the inner legs). there is a definite sacrifice being made here, and it seems to be for articulation's sake, which I dont really care for. I never felt MP Wheeljack or Lambor lacked in articulation.
They went for it with both modes, and visually, it looks amazing! I'm really excited for this guy and the potential for Jazz in the future now!Cyberpath wrote:It's amazing how they were able to create a very poseable cartoon-accurate robot-mode for Sunstreaker and at the same time pull-off an accurate Lamborghini mode with doors, hood and headlights. All in one toy. Transformers are awesome.
Kurona wrote:I'm confused; did I skip over a bit in the article? Why's everyone thinking Trailbreaker/Hoist will be next; is it just because of the whole "Season 1 Autobot Cars focus" thing? In that case why not Jazz, Mirage or another Minibot?
And... why Hoist first instead of Trailbreaker?
Please tell us as much as you can on the Future of Masterpiece?
Beast Wars & G1 are being released alternately since both parties are in different purchasing demographics seperated by age and so on. The release pattern has been thanks to you. We have managed to capture the age that was playing at the time of the show being broadcast and would like to keep the fever of waiting away by releasing more Beast Wars.
I want to distinguish between the 4x4 designs of Hoist and Trailbreaker in the meantime for the G1 fans, which will be troublesome.

Still, doesn't necessarily means they're next; just that that part of the process is being worked on and it's a specific one they decided to bring up.

Inferno and Grapple had alternate head accessories because they each had two different head designs in the cartoon. Sunstreaker only have one head design in the show, so his MP gets multiple faces instead.Ironhidensh wrote:Yeah, that makes more sense. Although, given takaras recent track record, I do believe that they will have alternate head options with this figure.

Lamborghini wanted the butt flap? Why would that be so? I never pegged them for a bunch of prudes. "No robo-butt will show on any of our licensed products!"

Lambo are VERY anal about how their cars are depicted- I think they had an issue with the hood having a split for transformation. The buttflap covers that up in car mode.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
