「『マスターピース』のビーストウォーズに関しては、まず第一目標がダイノボットで、その次はメガトロンだと思っていましたので、そこに向けて頑張っていきたいですね。」
Their first target for the BW MPs was Dinobot. Now, they're aiming for Megatron.
While this is not confirmation that Megatron will be next, the team has shown an interest in making one.

Sadly, due to an ocean of separation, I guess I'll have to drink it for him myself.

THIS, might be the one MP BW figure I will get because it will no doubt put ladder magic to shame.

I really dont see how this guy would require that or be harder to pull off than dinobot or cheetor. Unlike them, his robot mode shows a tone of his alt mode and there doesnt need to be a fake head. He basically keeps his tail, head, legs and beast mode skin (on his back) in robot mode. I would figure of all Beast Wars MPs, he would be the easiest due to all the kibble that doesnt need any hiding.

One for each year of the Movieverse's decade strong tenure. Here's to a few more explosive years!

In order to prevent that, to all TF Masterpiece fans, please ensure that 4000 + units get sold (figure based on Takara's cut off for Gran Max)so Takara will keep on building these puzzle figure toys.

I apologise in advance if what I will write wont make much sense. I tried explaining it to cobotron and he only understood because he felt similarly. I 100% agree that they will do magic over simplicty. So for instance if Megatron's tail weapon on the show looks different than his tail in beast mode, then instead of using the same tail for both modes, they would find a way to turn the beast tail into a bunch of smaller panels that hide away and give him a more accurate looking tail weapon that comes from his back or something. I dont think thats gonna happen, its just an example of magic. Dinobot went for that too. Instead of just using his beast mode feet for his robot mode hands, which he does on the show, they found a way to give him completely new hands for robot mode and hide away the other bits that are no longer needed. Thats magic right there... and I dont really care for it. I really like alt mode integration, it helps keep things simple and elegant without having too many parts that need to hide away. Like if they did use the same hands/feet for both modes then you wouldnt have the raptor claws showing on the back of his robot mode biceps, and you wouldnt see his robot hands trying to hide in raptor mode.
I really like MPs like Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Sidewipe where you feel that this is probably how they do transform in real life. They still feel chuncky in a way even though they have a higher parts count and are more complex. And they dont feel too pannely with parts trying to hide.
I feel it all changed with Tracks and he is a perfect example of what I dont like in the a few MPs since (I forget, did Bumblebee come before or after tracks?). For all those who have tracks, a big beef of mine are those darker panels that are between his legs in car mode and only serve a purpose in robot mode to change the look of his legs. While it probably costs more for the higher parts count, I feel its a cheap way out of recreating the robot mode detail by just patching it up with extraneous panels. It doesnt feel like that is how tracks would transform at all.
Like sure the alt mode looks like the show model and the robot mode looks like the show model (at certain angles) but I know for sure that this is not how he got from one form to the next. In my understanding on Transformers lore, his legs dont look like that because a small panel with different detail was placed over his car parts, they were either there all along under the car (like with cybertron hot shot) or the car parts receded to see robot parts. It really doesnt feel that much different than just having two extraneous 3rd party panels that you then snap onto the toy to make him look more show accurate. That's just an aesthetic change, nothing functional, nothing giving hints to his inner workings. I guess thats why they call it magic, its improbable and doesnt feel real.
This is probably where I lose everyone but for those that understood (whether you agree with em or not), high five!
