Hahaha that third gorilla face down is creepy.
I am excited get more variety out of the masterpiece line.
Hopefully a masterpiece transmutate will happen! (jk)

This thing is gorgeous, I, I, I just, I can hear him now... this takes me right back to watching the show as a kid, it's so beautiful I'm crying

Two or three years from now won't be a special occasion for Beast Wars, which means there's no reason to think they'd bother, so if they don't make a move this year, I'd be inclined to believe they don't intend to put it on shelves at all.

By your logic we shouldnt have had Generations Rhinox, Rattrap and Waspinator then since it wasnt related to an anniversary. But we did.

It actually was an anniversary, one for the franchise as a whole, and those three fit into the existing price points rather than needing a dedicated shelf space for just the one figure.

I certainly shouldn't have dismissed it as impossible, I'll grant that, but I still believe there's reason to be pessimistic

But we already got that with 15th anniversary

Unless you wanted one that could actually fly... TT could probably manage it

I want one that can scream!

For those of you waiting for Hasbro to release Masterpiece figures, you're really missing out. Not to mention that Hasbro's recent Masterpieces cost as much, if not more, as the Takara versions with the exception of Grimlock and the Seekers (which I guess just leaves my point with Prowl and Bluestreak).

Exactly as I predicted

And we are grateful. Always good to see people loving the product (except when they buy it first and I have to wait to get it )

That's why overnight shipping exists

Nah, I'm just annoyed that Hasbro doesn't seem to care. The Masterpieces don't usually do it for me.

Besides, if/when Hasbro does release a MP figure stateside, how often is there better than 7.3% odds of being able to find it and purchase it? Other than ones like Acid Storm that no one wants, most of them sell out online within a fifteen-minute window, and be it due to distribution or to scalpers or to whatever else, looking for them in actual stores is like trying to find an albino unicorn.

At least, that was my experience. I guess it's been a while though, is it still like that?

Well, they haven't revealed the late-year surprises, so there's a possibility that they could release him within the year if they get enough flak about skipping the anniversary; but I doubt it

Another masterpiece that I need to find money for. Just got to see colour photographs now and how big he is in relation to other mps.

YES!!!! Robot legs are covered!

Multiple faces!!

Articulated fingers!

BOTH SWORDS!!

DUAL ARM CANNONS PROPERLY ORIENTATED!!!


Other than the back of the gorilla feet, this thing is SPOT. ON. I can do without light up features, but as long as it doesn't hinder articulation and the button is properly hidden, I can live with it. I just hope he has a non frowning face as well.




These MP BW are gonna be non transmetal I reckon, since it's the anniversary of season 1. As for why Primal and Megatron, they're the leaders. Stands to reason they will be done first. And they're only going to stick to characters from the show.

Now i want this even more.
