What I will say though is even as a fan of this and Prime in general? I kind of hope after this the Masterpiece line starts moving forward and either giving redos to the figures that absolutely need it and that it just keeps expanding to include more characters from other continuities. I mean third party companies have already shown that MP-style and quality figures don't have to just be made for G1 and that there's so much more that can be done. I know some people don't really like that we're getting stuff such as Beast Wars and Bayformers MPs and to that I shake my head since you are free to spend your money however you want to and thus there is no need to moan about that kind of decision though for those who are mostly in it for the G1 representations? I do get some of the frustrations. With that said however, the Masterpiece line to me was never strictly about G1. Once the Bayformers got involved, it showed us the possibility of how this could be the perfect collector line that celebrates Transformers as a whole and not just one section of it. I mean imagine getting some stuff from the Unicron Trilogy out of this, content from the Japanese exclusive Transformers series, even though the toys were already pretty good, just imagine getting some stuff from Prime that was much more high-end. The possibilities for this line are basically endless and I really don't want to see it spent just doing nothing but churn out G1 characters and revamps of the same guys over and over again.

 

Words cannot describe how I could not possibly care less about yet another MP Optimus Prime. Wake me up when new characters get announced.

 

Silence would be the best expression for not caring.

 

Genius.

 

Yes, god forbid someone express an opinion...I forgot I’m posting on the internet, thank you so much for the reminder.

 

You had trouble expressing your carelessness and I provided you the tool. You're welcome.

 

I believe the point of his post was that if the opinion you wish to express is "I don't care", then your best course of action would be to not post at all. By posting you have intrinsically suggested that you do indeed "care".  

 

He had an irrational hatred toward an unborn toy but didn't want to admit it.

Buttflap confirmed

 

It has to be fully cartoon accurate. No buy if it doesn't have a buttflap.

 

Plus not buying .... yes?

 

I am sort of on the fence with this. Will I buy it? Yep. Would I rather see some other release? Yep.

For the many “how else do you celebrate an anniversary” comments... I guess I am missing the relevance of a 35th anniversary? I mean 25th anniversary I get, but the justification for another prime that many are giving would sort of imply that we should get a new version every 5 years. 35th anniversary has no significance. I am ok with another prime, but the “Hey, its the 35th Anniversay” arguments don’t make any sense to me.

 

The only mean spirited behavior here is that 35th anniversary does not bring us Galvatron. What does it take really? Direct Social Security contribution?

 

Maybe when 35th of the 1986 movie!

 

They can celebrate it, but really the celebration is just a ploy to try to get you to buy more stuff. Let's call it what it is. If they really wanted to celebrate the fans who have supported the franchise for 35 years, we'd get something more than a toy they will make a mint out of. For instance, I'd still love to turn in all of my G2 robot points for something since that was a scam they carried on for 4 years with literally no redemption ever offered. Oh corporate America!

At the rate Masterpiece is moving, he might not make it out until the 40th anniversary anyway.  

 

Nah. One day they'll notice sales diving off a cliff and they'd realize that most of us are already in old men's home waiting for the end. Then and only then will they release Galvatron for one last cash grab.

Heck if we write HasTak into the will, they might just release Cyclonus and the Sweeps for us to carry into the hereafter!!!
