Well you'd need a list of G1 characters then decide if you were allowing characters like Exhaust, Road Rage, or Cordon in with the stats or sticking with those who appeared in cartoon only. Then you'd have to split by season 1 cast etc etc.

I'd say cartoon only. To be fair, in light of Ultra Magnus, Hot Rod/imus and Star Saber, I think you only need two splits: Sunbow and Takara. Honestly, Takara is less than 1% having just SS from their roster.

Cone heads need labelling mps too.

The £120 to retailers mp will be a 1.5 inch frenzy but it will include a stand :p

News Credits: 100 · by **-Kanrabat-** » Thu Apr 23, 2020 10:30 am

I'd want a MPM Blackout. As long that it doesn't have a gutted underbelly in copter mode like the SS leader.

There's official Has/Tak conehead MPs?

If there was a MPM Blackout, I'd wager he would be $200+ given his size.

Yep, I have thrust. They were official but exclusives to diff places in asia me thinks from memory.

I am eager to see what they do with Blackout for an MP. He would probably be the most massive MP to date, and that's saying something with how big they made MPM Megatron

Thanks for the info Blackeyedprime! I updated the list so just have the crank the numbers.

No probs, it's just the usual has/tak trick of making a full set of official seekers as hard/expensive to get as possible :p

44 season 1 characters
21 Masterpiece toys
Percent complete: 47.72%

42 Season 2 characters
9 Masterpiece toys
Percent complete:21.42%

50 Season 3 characters
4 Masterpiece toys
Percent complete: 8%

32 Season 4 Characters
1 Masterpiece Toy (MP Firebolt who isn't listed but should be.)
Percent complete: 3.125%

I realise this last category needs some tweaking as aside from Firebolt, the other target masters and headmasters aren't counted either, so season 4 percent will be even lower.

Edit: the season 1 count is actually a little bit higher if you account for the UW Constructicons, being designed to be as close to Masterpiece as they were going to get at the time. You're milage may vary with it though.

MP Raiden is coming too, so that will be another six 1987 characters.

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:43 pm

That will go to the Takara toon count, which is feeling very neglected with just Star Saber and Soundblaster :lol:

Ratchet seems like the fairly obvious choice. I do hope we get Brawl/Bonecrusher though. Bonecrusher's price would seem appropriate by comparison here.

But no. We must still go full GEEWUN '07.
IMO we won't have gone full '07 until they re-do Ironhide.

You do realise they won't do that, to them, 07 Ironhide is done and dusted. Your best hope is a sequel movie version released down the line, but for now, that's the lot.

I know, and I'm not happy about it because the existing attempt at MPM Ironhide is a failure and his molds should be melted down.

He might still end up with a compromised underbelly. It's the side most people care the least about in a figure, and even an MP might not be able to find anywhere to put the panels to cover it.

I have zero attachment or interest in Raiden, so I see it as taking slots away from other characters I'd much rather have in MP form.

I see, I'm actually really excited for this, it's a guy who has never gotten a toy outside of his G1 toy, and it's super cool that they are diving that deep for the first MP Combiner

News Credits: 1350 · by **ZeroWolf** » Thu Apr 23, 2020 5:14 pm

Also I would argue that they are being done parallel to the other mp entries like Arcee and Tigatron and the MPM series.
