The Energon Pub

Like the title says, what are the toy companies' exact plans for the MP line? So far the releases have been top notch, and I wonder if they're gonna run out of steam. I know Wheeljack, Bee and Magnus are up next, but what about after? Oh yeah, and Star Saber. But still, are they sticking to what they apparently planned before MP-10, which was to release the entire cartoon cast, year by year? Main reason I am asking is because I am hunting for a G1 Arcee (or something close enough) but I don't want to shell out the dough if there will be a MP version coming down the line in a year or 2. So anyone know of their plans for the next couple of years?

Does "HasTak" really make the plans? Isn't it more like Takara decides what MPs to make, and then Hasbro picks the ones they want to release? What I mean is: Does Hasbro have any/much say in what gets made as a Masterpiece, or do they only choose which ones to bring to their markets?

Don't hold you breathe RP. Btw, I would kill for a first party Arcee or Elita-1 too

I figured.

I just don't want to shell out $100 for a deluxe figure.

Why don't you wait until we see how the new generations Arcee looks before you decide to buy that Third party one.
Also why do you care about a masterpiece Arcee if your alternative is to buy a deluxe third party Arcee?

This is the 1st I am reading of this Generations Arcee. I will be looking forward to it.

Lack of options. I would like an Arcee figure that actually looks like Arcee from G1. I thought about the 3 inch figure, but it's too small.

There's gonna be a Generations Arcee in the works?

Yes, there is along with Chromia. Slated for release right before the movie or so (after Jhiaxus, Nightbeat and Windblade). And yes, she'll be a car, not a motorcycle.

I already have Gen Arcee and Chromia preordered at BBTS. Crossing my fingers that they are good, but I'm like 80% confident they're gonna be good.

It's supposed to come out next month, and there are no product images? I guess Hasbro is just taking us collectors totally for granted now.

:lol:
