Basically what the title says. Would you like to see Hasbro and/or Takara release the rest of the Dinos in Masterpiece version?

I would.

Yes, I am aware that this will most likely never happen.

Would you like to see Beast Wars characters released in the MP mold? I would. And even though Primal or Megatron would be first, I think Dinobot should be. But given their animal alt. modes, this might be difficult. I know we had animals in G1, but it's different. The Dinobots looked robotic even in Dino mode, but the Beasties don't. Would a MP figure do justice for them?

I'd like to see a MP Optimal Optimus.

I wouldn't mind it but there are a lot of characters I'd like to see get the MP treatment first.

1: Not worth having 2 topics with nearly the same name, someone either merge or delete one of them.
2: I'd rather see the Dinobots classic'd first. I don't collect MPs.

1: Not worth having 2 topics with nearly the same name, someone either merge or delete one of them.
2: Much as his character would be worth a Masterpiece, I wouldn't buy it anyway.

The mods can make those decisions buddy.

I'd like to see them a bit smaller actually. Like, how there's MP optimus, then you have the binaltech/alternators who fit along side him.

Besides, the topics are about different toys/characters. And yes, I deliberately wrote the titles like that.

See further explanation in above mentioned other thread.

I don't think beastwars is popular anymore to warrant masterpiece TF toys.

Anyways according to the CGI Beastwars cartoon series. the beastwars characters were micromasters size & around the average size of 8 feet tall in robot mode. beastwars season 3 TM2 Megatron & tm2 tigerhawk might have been around 13 feet tall. while optimal optimus was probably around 17 feet tall.

So it would be hard to make the MP Beastwars toys in proper media scale with the MP G-1 toys.

creating leader size or $27 use ultra sized beastwars MP toys would be way too over sized for these BW characters/toys.

At best a proper scaled MP Beastwars toy would be around basic or deluxe sized.

anyways I don't think beastwars toys designs would translate well in MP TF toy designs.

I certainly wouldn't mind an MP Optimal Optimus standing toe to toe with MP-10 or even MP-01. Just personal preference really.

But according to that Season 3 episode where BW megatron blew open G-1 optimus prime's face. optimal optimus barely the size of G-1 Optimus prime's robot head.

to have MP BW Optimal optimus & MP-10 G-1 Optimus prime The same exact 9.3 inches tall in robot mode would make them out of scale as they appeared in that beastwars season 3 cartoon episode.

No thanks. I'm not really interested in paying $600-$800 to complete my Dinobots. I'd rather get Classics/Generations versions.

I wouldn't put a MP Optimal Optimus in a G1 collection. Just like my BW figures now, including leader size Optimal Optimus, are not with my classics toys. Btw, MP figures out now aren't even in scale with one another. Can't be that nit-picky.

No.

Sure, but I'd much rather the rest in Classics size and price to be honest...

With Grimlock roughly the size of an Ultra, I'd love to see Sludge roughly the size of a Leader, Slag and Snarl the size of a Voyager, and a Deluxe class Swoop...

masterpeice? no. voyagers? hell yes!

Voyager class Classics-style. Let's go one further, boxed set! You could even upscale Classics Grimmy and include.

Full set of voyagers or bust!

Yay, yes, si, ja, heck-frikkin-yes!!!!!!

Don't care if it does put me in the poorhouse Grimlock was so damn good I want the rest of the Dinos as MPs even more than Shockwave, Soundwave and Blitzwing.....and I want those guys pretty damn badly too.

So that's a yes then.

Hell yes.

I think not. Much as I like his character I want Masterpiece to stick to G1.

I may go for that. MP BW Megs would be sweet, the purple rex is one of my all-time favorite figures and characters. Thow in a duckie or Waspinator's head and I'm in.
