1) I agree, that Overpriced Prime looks excellent, I love it.

2) If Takara is going to do an MP Combiner of any kind, it better have this level of engineering. Zero partsforming, full articulation for the combiner (including ab crunch), and perfect, kibble free individual bot modes, alt modes, and combiner modes. An example of this:


3) A triple changing Astrotrain would be a marvel of HasTak engineering, and I would just love one.

Since Takara's numbering system has no real rhyme or reason to it, I'm not sure it makes a difference.

Takara's numbering system makes total sense. I didn't have the time to write it into words yet but here is a pic of me figuring it out:

killin me!

[Wireless_Phantom]

With the mood I'm in currently the more I see Lio Convoy the more it makes me want to make one myself

[Nemesis Maximo]

Man, MP-46 Blackarachnia looks to be in scale even with Cheetor in those pics, she’s barely taller than him while he’s down on one knee.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

If 50 ends up being an event, the ones I think it could be are:

1) new MP Starscream/seeker mold
2) Waspinator
3) Grimlock
4) Big Convoy

I'm not really feeling any others could work for 50 that are in the realm of possibility right now

[william-james88]

Watch mp50 be a black redeco of mp44

[Dorkimus]

Lio convoy looks nice, though hopefully he does not have crotch issues. Hound is cool as well, but man those prices. In some stores the hasbro version of the Hound is like 10e cheaper. Dunno why. I preordered the takara one.

You know what would be a fun idea that will guarantee sales while humoring the fans? MP Waspinator... in pieces... included with other MP Beast Wars figures

I know price has been a big debate lately but for 50? And it’s Takara? Man, I’m thinking big. Jetfire.
With a bow on him.
Miracles happen and dreams can come true
Think big though.
Maybe a Prime from the Unicron trilogy or AoE Prime?
God I want to see Galvatron though.

Where's Scotty P when you need him to talk about how much importance Takara gives to its numbers.

Oooo now that sounds like a juicy rant gauntlet thrown down.
Summon the entrance pyrotechnics!

The numbering of individual figures is as meaningless as it ever was. The Fiftieth figure in the line is a milestone Takara will most likely make a fuss over though. Time will tell...

You really don't need to give them that idea

MP Build a figures would go over SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO well

Dude I can’t even tell if that’s sarcastic or not because either way mind blown.

[ZeroWolf]

*sarcasm meter starts going off*
My word D Max! Your post is off the charts!

Though to make the idea worse, build a mp waspinator in $400 mp releases of repaints. Minimise costs, maximum profit

[NTESHFT]

Nice list!

Grimock would be awesome!

...and the rest of the dinobots too...

I was excited about Hound, but the flosting head really bugs me.

Love the new Prime but nan 450 bucks is steep

Leo looks awesome too....

Oh, it was complete sarcasm.

I am among those who cry at the BAF pieces with Marvel legends. That new Professor hulk is making me sad, and those are 6 $20 figures. i cannot imagine multiple $120-$200 figures!

Non parts-forming combiners look spindly, off aesthetically and tend to have problems with stability. I purchased Road King and im all in for FT Menasor which looks like it could be amazing. On the subject of FTs, does anyone know when Spoiler (not breakdown) is coming out?

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I think you might be mixing up Road King and Road Caesar.

Trying to do the G1 combiners without partsforming is a fool's errand. Especially Devastator.

I used to think so as well,especially after that terrible FOC Bruticus...

Until last week, when I discovered that such a thing is possible. If 3P can do it, Takara can certainly do. And they can do it better.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I still say it's a bad idea. And frankly, inaccurate.

[Nathaniel Prime]

Found this on reddit, and this is sad, but true.

Funny, but sad, and it does show what fans are thinks of the new Masterpieces coming out.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Honestly I think Hound's design adding unnecessary complexity for the sake of hiding his tires worse than the floating neck.

[Syclone]

I just don't get how you can be so utterly clever in hiding the wheels for perfect cartoon accuracy....and then botch the neck in such a goofy way...

[Cyberpath]

I think they wanted a seamless hood + the ability to open it. That wouldn't be possible with the head popping out if it.
