ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

and if you include 3rd party, you also have shockwave.

I certainly don't include it.

Jazz
Hound
Trailbreaker

Add on Rachet and Ironhide, and you've got my "must have" list.

All things transformers!!!!

I'd love to see more Cons (especially their take on the cone head team) BUT.... I hope, HOPE they at least give us the following autobot cars...

Jazz
Hound
Sunstreaker
Trailbreaker

please PLEASE!!!! Only four more!

Igear has made pretty good versions of Ironhide and Ratchet so not too pressed to see those.

I almost almost ALMOST pulled the trigger on igear Ironhide but in the end they are just too small for the MP line. I think they look great though.

I'm totally unsatisfied with those Igear figures at this point. There was a time when I was strongly tempted, but Takara has spoiled me.

Bumblebee is so unimpressive as a Transformer but that's what makes him bumblebee. The character nobody wanted to play with as a kid but vital to any Autobot collection lol

Looks good in an unimpressive Bumblebee type way!

To me, Bumblebee epitomizes Transformers as much as Prime, Megatron, or Starscream do. That figure is pure, iconic awesomeness to my eyes.

You forgot Decepticons Acid storm, Thundercraker, and Sunstorm.

and if you include 3rd party, you also have shockwave.

It's easily done when you consider that Hasbro Masterpiece releases don't really register on my radar and Seekers not named Starscream aren't of any importance to me either

I didn't include Shockwave because I wasn't counting 3rd parties.

Sith_fire30,
I would strongly disagree on Ironhide & Ratchet.

iGear's are the nicest versions of the characters to date but the robot modes are not good enough to be an accurate fit with the Masterpiece aesthetic, they're slightly too small to be the correct scale and there's a few areas where the kibble detracts from the accuracy to the animation model. The transformation is also somewhat fiddly in comparison to most Masterpieces from MP10 onwards.

As for the others, I think they'll happen.

Lamborghini ( Sunstreaker ) and Toyota ( Trailbreaker ) already have licensing deals with Takara.

Mitsubishi ( Hound ) were heavily rumored to have been signed up last year and now that VW are OK with the Beetle being used again it increases the chance they'll also be OK with licensing the Porsche brand for Jazz.

Royce12,
Insecticons = Probably. They'd likely go for a similar price to the Autobot cars.

Constructicons/Devastator = Not sure.

I think if it ever happens it Devastator will be round about the same size as TFC's Hercules in order to keep costs down and also to lessen the chances of stability issues arising with the fully combined 'bot.

Your loss. he's as good as anything takara will make. Quakewave is amazing.

 

[Wanderer]

Quakewave is just a part of my MP collection as the others. That being said, so too is my Macross 1/48 custom Jetfire

I'm sure he knows that. He's probably not that into the character to warrant a purchase, u know? It happens.

It was just a discussion of existing Masterpiece figures, and as great as Shockwave might be, he ain't that. He's a 3rd party figure made to be compatible with that line.

 

[lerath666]

Fair enough

I absolutely agree. Bumblebee was a main character in the cartoon and the first TF I had as a kid. I preferred Decepticons but there are definitely a few must-have Autobots for me--Bumblebee is one of them.

Who's Bumblebee?

Off subject but is anyone collecting the TP predakings?
I've gone for MMC and got Bovis and the other one, but got to say unique toys warlord looks superb all combined.
