I was always doomed to shrug at this and pass on it, as with most Masterpieces, due to budget alone. But so much about it has me shrugging at it BEING a Masterpiece, because this would be far more interesting as a mainline release -- and feels a lot like one anyway.

Death, taxes, Optimus Prime. Takara Tomy have officially announced a new entry into their MPG series, and you'll never guess who it is! MPG-17 is Optimus Prime "Style Gen.", apparently kicking off a new "Style Gen." subseries in the MPG line: Yup, the classic Big Good of the Autobot ranks...

Okay that makes sense. Do that with the Missing Link one next.

Now you too can make a Liokaiser out of any GI Joe figure

I'm glad this worked out well for everyone, and feel a bit jealous. Despite my distaste for the frame combiner bits, this seems like a great set, and it's likely to be a lot more fun than just one (or two) large fgures in the box. Especially since the count went up one with Deathcobra. I'm just...

So does the Retro Bee actually have opaque plastic? That's a neat touch on Gears as well, but I'm fine with the first release.

I'm definitely in board for 1-9, and wouldn't mind 10. I need Combiner Wars closure. I'd prefer Deluxe Groove to really be G2, but the opportunity to get a G2 Rook is great too. (whichever way they do it, I want that lovely box set style with the artwork and everything) We could probably get a...

That seems like it could work at Leader class if there weren't a Primal that had to transform into a surfboard backpack (the Evolution gimmick). The altmodes on Optimal weren't really much -- the main thing missing seems to be the wheels (and the joints to help the arms line up for it). But...

Scrapmetals would be AWESOME (and I think they could even retain a hidden blade, just not spring-loaded). They've been faffing around with spider-mode Shockwaves for years now, bring this back for real. (and make a purple one, yay) Yeah, tbh, I'd love a redo of the Laser OP. The G2 Op and Megs...

I WOULD LOVE if it were released in yellow first.

I keep hoping for alt heads in general, especially if they can be better than the usual 3d printed stuff.

Whenever this comes up I keep figuring it'll be enough to have a Commander for the OP (so WFC Leader with a bigger budget, and Motormaster/Armada Op have shown what they can do with "combine with trailer" situations) and Leader for the Armor Buddy (Godbomber, God Magnus). The RID OP/Fire Convoy...

I should have known I could never stick to 10. (I mean, duh, my original post already fails that.) 11. G2 Megatron - new mold. Thanks for reminding me, Sciflyer. 12. Beast Machines Silverbolt - could get away with another Airazor retool (the mainline ROTB one), maybe. 13. Studio Series...

Same.

All of this actually appeals to me (smaller overall, no unwieldily big Magnus to facilitate car carrying, non-HasLab price tag), but I can definitely see why the HasLab route was just simpler. They're no-brainers to fund, so you can set the price that would do them justice and as long as it's...

I genuinely dig these, and it's all seeming more cohesive and appealing than Cyberworld is right now. A big part of that is the apparent bigger per-figure budget, and the execution that allows for essentially the same core box body to take on different forms with just altered forelimbs and...

Wow, Drillhorn/Drill Horn is having a big year. I'm intrigued by those listings, and I'm wondering which of the existing molds I'd prefer "lavamuleta" to be (maybe the Hydrophant mode). Or, if a new mold, what beast I'd like to see it be (maybe a stegosaurus! 🤩)

I don't disagree with any of that. But me not understanding that fandom leaves me outside the space of whether or not there might actually be some interest or excitement from getting Rando Citezeann in his second Cloud City attire. There's absolutely none for me (and I'm right there with you and...

I'd rather get at least 2-packs like the Siege/Earthrise Micromasters. Make them versus sets like the Cybertron releases and release two teams that way.
