Accidentally.

I had no interest in Exhaust and I have no interest in this either.
Masterpiece had a good run going with so many classic characters. I mean I didn't really want Star Saber but that's just because I didn't watch much if any of the Japanese G1 stuff. It was still at least a unique new mold and I applaud them for making it as an homage to that series.
But this? Exhaust as a one-off I can see but this is just lazy now. And don't think its just the G1 fan-boy in me either. I have the same feelings about Goldbug, the retool of Bumblebee. It was neat I guess but I have no desire to get one.
Let's see some new molds!

As it happens, the redecos, which many of us LOVE, fund the new molds.
Also, where have you been? Redecos have been the (enjoyable) MP reality for years, and just now you're getting sick of them?

1) I really don't care if you love it or not. My statement was expressing my opinion that I don't like them. If you do, great, still doesn't have anything to do with my statement.
Wheeljack808 wrote:2)Saying they fund the new molds is a redundant statement since there is still going to be the production costs to pump out the retools as well as the modifications to make it a retool. In other words, ANY masterpiece will net profit and thus fund more molds.
Wheeljack808 wrote:3) I've been right here on planet Earth. Yeah redecos have been part of the masterpiece line since the get-go but that's simply because of the nature of the G1 transformers series.
Wheeljack808 wrote:The seekers were all pretty much cloned recolours so this is why Starscream through Sunstorm are all gonna have the same mold but recoloured. These are retools of existing characters into ones that barely exist. Okay the statement could be made that any character deserves its time in the sun and yeah that's great and all but when so many have gone unused and the masterpiece line before this seemed to be about taking classic toys from our childhood and updating them to make them appeal to collectors this seems to be getting away from that mission.

My opinion is that redecos are a great thing.
I can accept the opinion that redecos are a necessary evil.
I cannot accept, and will challenge, the opinion that redecos are unnecessary.
