    The answer of that question will span the whole gambit of possibilities depending on who you ask.

    I personally have seen the FT and the Badcube Insecticons and know Takara has no reason to not make them and due to that I will wait for the Takara ones to see which of the 3 I like better before buying.

    The only real MP figure I purchased before a Takara offering was Apollyon due to the fact that I can live without one of the soldiers.. having the main guy MIA is a pain. :) 

    Well I guess there are also the igear seekers... but MP-11 was out at the time I chose them for their better plane mold and slightly better articulation.

    both your answer are correct, tho
    1. Some do buy as stand-ins, and quite a few are very satisfied to consider them MP-level
    2. best g1? you need to give a timeline, it's the best so far (arguably), probably until official ones, whenever that is. Most of us prefer it to be before we die / quit :p 

    you'd better ask here & read the comments

    I have FansToys Insecticons. Absolutely love them. I also fully expect TT to do them at SOME point. When they do FansToys will go on ebay, then in the garbage if they dont sell. haha. Maybe that's a little drastic. I'll keep both. One for alt mode and one for bot. lol

    Convention Treadshot?
    I don't know that I do believe it... I just find it funny that any third party would get upset about "borrowing" IP to the point of subtly calling "theft" and making threats to retailers.

    ...And a place in the fandom's hearts. Those that have them anyway.

    You also have the amulet of destiny. Don't know why you use it as a paper weight when you can use it to get chickens that bawk lasers at criminals or a pizza. I mean, there's a fun day to be had right there!

    The thing with the Insecticons (and Reflector) is you don't have to buy them as stand ins, if officials come and you prefer them then you have ready made clones in your collection straight away. Same goes for Scourge.

    Not for nothing , I cant be alone here about what I'm going to say , but is anyone else thinking that these Beast Wars figure may be a blessing in disguise ? This would be the perfect opportunity for Takara to release G1. MP Predacons. Robotic animals , check ! Combiner ? Check ! Show me a Masterpiece Razerclaw , and I may just faint .

    No, then they would do a theme for every year for someone or something then all slag of chaos of hate would come from this website, pretty cool if they did that, but....fans would disagree. Man, imagine a year of diaclons repaints.

    All up to yourself. If you like them enough to pay the price they are worth it to you. I want MP Insecticons but I don't buy stand ins. So far, none that have come out are worth it to me but if I had to choose one, I'd get the Bad Cube versions. To me, the Bad Cube designs are better, with more personality and no lazy back kibble.

    Y'know what would be a grew idea for a toy? If they had floro dery draw the ani bot animal from pre tftm, and had a collaboration with Takara to design an mp of him, then done. Limited edition version of him in the Asia market, since bot a sales going on, then remold him to make PREDAKING.

    Or just make Predaking? Would be interesting if they did repaint/mold an eventual Predaking into his original anibot concept though

    So far I'm leaving you alone on this. The Predacons/Animatrons are more like Grimlock with a robotic beast mode and a pretty ordinary bot mode. And BW MPs are a blessing with no disguise (cept to the people who don't like non G1 in the line; then it's a curse). It's an opportunity to both explore post G1 stuff and play around with a different aesthetic.

    When has sixo ever had insider knowledge of he-said she-said leaks pertaining to official masterpiece release schedules and order of releases in the past?

    Or are you insinuating something else?

    Sixo is a great contributor to TFW2005. His photos are fantastic and his reviews are honest and unbiased. As for the other guy, I would never insinuate anything about him. Servo said I'm not allowed to ;) ...
