A ton of Beast Wars toys have really cool inconspicuous weapons storage. Really some of the best Transformers have ever seen.

Yeah look at them but I want a normal vehicle and masterpiece standards

Well, Masterpiece are about the only Transformers that are Masterpiece quality.

Most of the the Masterpiece figures have pretty decent weapons storage. The ones that come to mind are, Bumble Bee, Optimus, Ironhide/Ratchet, Soundwave. The only ones in my opinion that don't have good storage are the Autobot cars, Datsuns, Lamborghinis, Corvettes.

If you'd like more opinions on this question, and pertaining specifically to the Masterpiece line, this might be a good place to ask.

RID Ratchet comes to mind as one of the currently available figures with good weapon storage. I would say TLK Crosshairs too but some people are having issues with the guns popping off the pegs. I'll have to see once more people get the figure to make a judgement on it. (TLK Crosshairs isn't really on the market yet)

Cobs, Tracks can store his gun (and Blaster) in "Corvette" mode on his dashboard..

And on his lower back in robot-mode, so you can pose him like this --

Pretty cool, yes?

Inferno and Grapple have that, too.

Yea that was my first choice but his back in bot mode kinda annoys me

Binaltech have weapon storage and one might have an argument that they are "Better" than Masterpiece quality.

AKA Alternators. They have (at least the ones I have) weapons store as the car engines.

I'll leave discussions of quality to others, but they absolutely have the complexity of an MP.

Do you know which alternater it is

The sled? That's weird weapons storage, and efficient in itself, but not really integrated with the alt mode!

No. Not the sled. This.

To me, that's good weapon storage. Concealed. Out of the way.

This is not good weapon storage.

While a totally awesome battle mode, it does not perpetuate the robot's "disguise".

@Cyberpath, I totally forgot about Tracks's dashboard stash, which IS cool. I swapped Roadrage's and Tracks's guns the moment I got Roadrage. So, when I was looking at my shelf and thinking of Tracks he was rocking his toy accurate gun.

Not sweet! :lol:
