Because some of that line's toys were genuinely awful and are in dire need of being remade to be as good as the rest of the toys in that line that were legitimately good/great, which the MP treatment could easily deliver upon.Kurona wrote:Why the Energon cast?
Not the animation models. People don't hate on those.Kurona wrote:Like... that's the thing almost everyone universally agrees is bad,
G1 had plenty of terrible episode stories yet you don't see people harping the G1 MPs for their mere existence.
I'd say Shockblast was awesome and his original toy definitely needs a redo.Kurona wrote:and unlike Armada having Starscream it doesn't at least have a fan-favourite character everyone points to as one thing they liked about it.
I strongly disagree with that because practically every member of the of the TFP cast already has a close-enough-to-show-accurate toy. There are very very few of them who do not.Kurona wrote:I'd say TFP's main cast deserves the treatment personally, but, uh... maybe too soon.
Virtually everyone from Armada needs the MP treatment. Their original toys were horribly compromised by the Mini-Con gimmick. Unicron and Tidal Wave are probably the only ones who don't need MPs (all Tidal Wave really needs is a pair of knees).Kurona wrote:Armada I could only really see Optimus, Starscream and Hot Shot. Maybe Megatron, no-one else is really that memorable or loved. Maybe Red Alert? IDK. I can't see there being an interest in Armada Masterpieces beyond a few characters.
And yet, in spite of how show-accurate the vast majority of that line's figures were, a small amount of them were still so near yet so far. The MP treatment, however, could make those few go all the way.Kurona wrote:Animated at least, like Beast Wars, started off with just the five autobots and just the five decepticons. And for the most part, it kind of stayed to that same cast without changes unlike Beast Wars. So all of 'em would make sense. Masterpiece Lugnut sounds sexy.
