    No, NOT another which MP should be next question. You can only choose TEN MP's for each side, which would they be? Your ultimate, iconic show accurate collection forsaking all others?

    So, for example, Ratched and Ironhide / 3 Seekers all count as one choice.


    Okay, I'll go first:




    AUTOBOTS:


    1) Prime

    2) Hot Rod/imus

    3) Ratched/Ironhide

    4) Grimlock

    5) Jazz

    6) Bumblebee

    7) Cliffjumper

    8) Prowl

    9) Hound

    10) Blaster



    DECEPTICONS:



    1) Megatron

    2) Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker

    3) Soundwave (inc: Rumble, Laserbeak, Ravage)

    4) Devastator (IN ONE PACKAGE)

    5) Shockwave

    6) Reflector

    7) The Insecticons (IN ONE PACKAGE)

    8) Cyclonus

    9) Scourge

    10) Galvatron

    Intersting idea. Though I’ve often considered the alternator line the same as Masterpiece.

    AutoBots

    1. Optimus Prime
    2. Ratchet with an IronHide repaint
    3. A proper Ultra Magnus
    4. Bumble Bee with a tweak and repaint for Cliffjumper
    5. Powerglide
    6. Rodimus Prime
    7. Kup
    8. Inferno with a mode and repaint of Grapple
    9. Trailbreaker/Hoist
    10. Springer

    Decepticons

    1. Megatron
    2. Star Scream with show accurate colors
    3. make the other seakers with mold modes and repaints be up to 5.
    6. Cyclonus
    7. Refector
    8. Blitzwing based off the M-1A tank… that would be so sweet looking
    9. Scourge
    10. Astrotrain

    Blitzwing and Astrotrain - damn. I knew I'd left two out. Alright, I'd substitute those two for Scourge and at a push ... maybe Reflector ... although we've never seen a toy remotely resembling the Reflector of the cartoon who is a real cool character that got short shrift next to Rumble and the like. (anyone else think this?) Compared to that new camera robot doing the rounds in prototype piccys right now, they were great - particularly when they stood on eachothers shoulders like a little circus troupe. Heh.

    Are the two classic triple changers REALLY iconic though? I think it would be damn fine to have them in there, just to see if they could pull off the transformation x3(one transformation takes a lifetime in MP: land, don't forget)

    I'm just not sure Blitzwing and Astrotrain's personalities as such, are all that to really warrant it (and it would be all about the cool tank/shuttle aesthetic as you say, etc....)

    Pipe dreams all, but here goes:

    Autobots:

    Prime/Magnus
    Grimlock (no need for the other dinobots)
    Ironhide/Ratchet
    Bumblebee/Cliffjumper
    Skyfire (not Jetfire... a show-accurate Skyfire)
    Inferno/Grapple
    Blaster w/ Steeljaw
    Wheeljack (I love the BT version, but he doesn't look much like himself)
    Hot Rod (with armor to form Rodimus Prime)
    Perceptor

    Decepticons:

    Megatron
    Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker
    Soundwave w/ Laserbeak and/or Buzzsaw
    Shockwave
    Tape Pack with Ravage, Rumble, Frenzy, and Ratbat
    Astrotrain
    Galvatron
    Blitzwing
    Reflector
    Devastator (okay, I guess it is cheating to put this as one entry... but I'd be happy with an articulated Devastator that is only as tall as MP Prime, and composed of six smaller Constructicons. So... it's SORT of one mold, just a complicated six-part mold.)

    Okay, I've listened to all of your suggestions, and modified my list slightly. At the risk of sounding arrogant, this surely has to be a list which covers (broadly speaking) most peoples' bases here and would make most people happy.

    The sticking points for me are Skyfire or Springer? Prowl or Perceptor? Blitzwing or Cyclonus? (can you kindly vote on those three choices please)







    THE FINAL TWENTY:





    1) Prime

    2) Grimlock

    3) Hotrodimus

    4) Jazz.

    5) Cliffjumper/Bumblebee

    6) Hound

    7) Skyfire or Springer?

    8) Prowl or Perceptor?

    9) Blaster

    10) Ironhide/Ratched.





    1) Megatron

    2) Starscream/Skywarp/Thundercracker

    3) Soundwave (+Laserbeak/Ravage/Rumble)

    4) Astrotrain

    5) Devastator set

    6) Reflector

    7) Shockwave

    8) Galvatron

    9) Blitzwing or Cyclonus?

    10) The 3 Insecticons.





    That list is based on mixing them up as best I can 10/10 to get a variety of alt modes in each list for each side, so , for example, the autobots ten aren't taken up by all cars etc.

    If you had them on your desk facing off eachother, that would feel like a rounded, classic G1 collection including most of everybody's favourites. You wouldn't think: "Oh God, hoist is missing! Where's Powerglide?? Where's Brawl?? - You'd see the basic, classic pieces.

    And I reckon if they really pulled their finger out, Takara could give it us over 5 years, a few pieces a year. They won't, but ... any rate, your comments

    SHN I think Skyfire definatly should have a spot, Springer would be freaking awsome but in my opinion was not as important as Skyfire.
    Out of Prowl and Perceptor, unfortunatly a police car would do a lot better on the market than a telescope, so Prowl.
    Blitzwing or Cyclonus. Cyclonus would go well on a shelf beside Galvatron no doubt but they are the only season 3 charecters in your list and I have already said no to one triplechanger (springer) so i'd have to go with Blitzwing.
    And If I could I'd replace Galvatron with the cone head molds, Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge.

    I have always liked the Idea of MPs of all the Beast Wars show charecters.

    My list in no particular order:

    Autobots
    1. Optimus Prime
    2. Rodimus Prime
    3. Bumblebee/Cliffjumper
    4. Bluestreak/Prowl/Smokescreen
    5. Sideswipe/Sunstreaker (with different head mold)
    6. Ratchet/Ironhide
    7. Jazz
    8. Blaster (with tapes)
    9. Superion
    10. Wild card slot for who would look the coolest

    Why do there always have to be twice as many Autobots to choose from as Decepticons? Makes it soooo hard.

    Decepticons
    1. Megatron
    2. Starscream/Thundercracker/Skywarp
    3. Soundwave (with tapes)
    4. Dirge/Thrust/Ramjet
    5. Shockwave
    6. Blitzwing
    7. Astrotrain
    8. Galvatron
    9. Predaking
    10. Menasor or Bruticus
