    When you guys were discussing the G1 look, versus real world, kind of wished the discussion brought up the X-Transbots & Cubex takes on Huffer.

    Both are doing an off brand, Masterpiece style Huffer. But X-Transbots is taking the realistic route, while Cubex is doing cartoon not real one. And X-Transbots's take on Windcharger is even more jarring, but right now I think its still just a picture of the car & not the robot.

    I think I have a different definition of "featured" than Seth.
    Prowl was around a lot in the G1 cartoon, but he never really did anything aside from get controlled by Chip that one episode.

    That said he is my favorite of that mold. Love the black and white.


    edit: Also if you think they're going to give a Masterpiece toy a different alt mode than in G1 then I don't think you really understand Masterpiece.
    The only character I think they might do that for is Megatron, but I think that's a very slim chance.

    I think they would rather just not make a character if they couldn't get the right alt mode.

    You know what would be a fun Datsun recolor (that likely won't happen)?

    Vehicle mode: The 10th anniversary Black Gold 280zx.

    Head is based off TF Animated Prowl head, but gives him a handlebar mustache like Prowl's holo driver. (In hindsight, I wonder if TFA Prowl was based off Black Gold? Given the level of little details that show ran with, it wouldn't shock me.)

    I'm still pretty inexperienced with import figures (figma, SHFiguarts, etc.), but I actually really like the look of the Revoltech Raiden. Which is why I pre-ordered him. Which is also my first Revoltech. Maybe it's because I've never owned one is why I'm excited for him, besides the fact that I adored Revengance.

    ok. about the Cliffjumper Masterpiece question;

    I constantly see these questions to the effect of: "what is the masterpiece gonna look like?"

    to which I always say aloud (to myself): "he's gonna look like he did in the G1 cartoon!"

    is there ANY example of a masterpiece that did not look like his on-screen persona?????

    That's a fair point, but I think we were coming at the question with the assumption that Cliff will be some sort of re-tool of Bumblebee and the way Volkswagen has been salty about their licence just led us to not taking anything for granted.

    Thanks for answering the question so fast guys. I think it boils down to the charecter. And I don't like the idea that "the figure will look just like the cartoon". Because they don't. I don't remember optimus having all this detail on him in g1 nor any of the others. To me the figure should evoke everything that makes the charecter THAT charecter. Why use a porche 924 when it won't look faithful to something like the cartoon? Anyway thanks for the answer guys!

    In addition to SH Musicarts Freddy Mercury and Daft Punk, I... kinda want a Michael Jackson either in Thriller or Smooth Criminal attire. Yeah.

    Also, while an Angus Young would be really rad, imagine SH Musicarts Slash from GNR or Gene Simmons. Fuck, just do all of KISS. People would buy 'em. You know you want your own little Gene Simmons with articulated tongue to be hangin' out with your Power Rangers.
