You do know that MP Ultra Magnus is a BIG figure, right? BW Megs being around that size would put him on a much bigger size than Optimus Primal.Sowndwave76 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Star Saber was Combiner-sized and they were able to do him.

Is there a chance a MP BW Megatron may not happen because that character was so big??
Obv the could make him smaller. I just wonder if they would want to.
While I'm sure MP doesn't completely stick to a standard scale, if Megatron was only a bit bigger than Primal, I think that could be very underwhelming.
Especially for a MP.

Did you feel the same when they were like that in the show?Ravage XK wrote:The Cheetah legs hanging off the back of the bot mode look unpleasant, like some sort of unfinished fur coat. Think I would rather they unpegged.

I wish TT would cease with gimmicks on these (different animal faces) and just make a figure that transformed from one authentic mode to the next. Maybe the gimmicks were included to make us forget about the flaws?
As it is, these two MP BW figs seem to be slightly more detailed, yet overpriced deluxe CHUGS, madeto compliment deluxe Rattrap and Rhinox (Dinobotand CHUG Cheetor does not count).
Did it, though?william-james88 wrote:I get that its for a better look in robot mode, but even then the animation model did have the beast feet as heels,
Where else could they go? Cheetor's hindlegs were really thin in the show and just magically morphed into his thicker robot legs.primalxconvoy wrote:This seems to suffer from the same design flaws as MP Optimus Primal; namely robot kibble hanging off the back/hindlegs/feet of the beast mode legs/feet.

I know the original toy had that, but it looks to me like the show model had the same kind of heels as this MP had:Where else could they go?

Besides, the original toy did that too.
Are you saying that this MP isn't a better toy than the original? It certainly looks a lot more like Cheetor than the original toy did, and has way more articulation points and paint apps than the original, and certainly attempts to hide the robot leg kibble better than the original toy's solid blue hindlegs' complete lack of even trying to hide it.primalxconvoy wrote:Then why bother getting a new, more expensive toy with the same flaws?
Masterpiece MUST be a better toy.

What you folks should be keeping in mind is that a BW Masterpiece is fundamentally a different beast (pun intended) from your average Masterpiece toy. The biggest problem is that a beast mode has no hidden sides; an MP carformer can stuff whatever the hell it needs to on the underside of the vehicle - that's about a third of the altmode's surface area! In terms of surface area, the designers have concealed more of the robot on Primal and Cheetor than they did on the G1 guys.MR Optimus Prime wrote:primalxconvoy wrote:This seems to suffer from the same design flaws as MP Optimus Primal; namely robot kibble hanging off the back/hindlegs/feet of the beast mode legs/feet.
