Yes, you do.
I'm not fully happy with this, but I'm 99% sure that's due to lack of final colors.

No, I really don't. I was left disappointed with the Generations incarnations, which made me appreciate the originals even more. Considering I have a nearly complete BW, BWII and BW Neo collection, adding Masterpieces into the equation doesn't really achieve anything.

His original toy is still pretty awesome, especially with the remolds it got 10 years ago which Takara themselves thought were good enough for a release in Transformers Legends at the tail end of 2014.
Rhinox, Rattrap and Waspinator all recently got decent (not perfect, but still really awesome) updates in the Generations/Legends lines so I'd stay away from them. However, Dinobot, Cheetor, Tigatron, Airazor, Terrorsaur, Blackarachnia, Tarantulas, Scorponok, and especially Megatron all really need some proper toys. I think the concept should have been proven with any of those first, and then worked back to Optimus Primal, Rattrap, Rhinox and Waspinator. The problem with my idea is that Hasbro and Takara love to lead out with an Optimus toy, but I feel like in this case, that was a poor decision.
Another issue is ... why is it taking almost 1.5 years from when they first showed Beast Convoy/Optimus Primal from when we are actually going to get him? Is it going to take 1.5 years until we get Cheetor?

On the timing, I really think that was a case of something getting shown when they had barely scratched the surface of actually making the thing. Not something done often, but if some rumors are to be believed about Masterpiece there are a lot of designs in the pipe already in progress and some that are even conceptually finished and just waiting for licensing deals to close. Revealing some of that stuff now, way early, would probably lead to wait for that product like the length of the wait for Primal.Seibertron wrote:Regarding Scott's post above, I think Optimus Primal was a poor choice to go with as the first reveal/release.

No one is raving, but it was the one common complaint so far.Hellscream9999 wrote:I honestly don't think anyone is that worried about it, due to the overwhelming awesome that is this feat of engineering artshajaki wrote:I think Cheetor looks phenomenal.

I just really hope, if this line continues (I have full faith it will) that Tigatron is NOT a slight remold of this.

Upscaled and beast parts remolded, sureHellscream9999 wrote:shajaki wrote:No one is raving, but it was the one common complaint so far.Hellscream9999 wrote:I honestly don't think anyone is that worried about it, due to the overwhelming awesome that is this feat of engineering artshajaki wrote:I think Cheetor looks phenomenal.

What about an up-scaled remold? They are nearly identical in bot mode...

They could do whatever was done for Energon Megatron/Galvatron and Super Link Galvatron/Galvatron G.Hellscream9999 wrote:shajaki wrote:Upscaled and beast parts remolded, sureHellscream9999 wrote:shajaki wrote:No one is raving, but it was the one common complaint so far.Hellscream9999 wrote:I honestly don't think anyone is that worried about it, due to the overwhelming awesome that is this feat of engineering artshajaki wrote:I think Cheetor looks phenomenal.

I wonder how easy that is? Would they just increase the size of the 3d model (with changed parts) and just send that to the thingy that turns it into molds for the factory?
But until we see them side by side, we won't know if they're making them scale![]()
