Should Blaster be the next Masterpiece?

Cheebs · 01-07-2013, 02:54 PM

My short list for what I want next:

Prowl/other Datsuns
Cyclonus
Kup

I would say Galvatron, but honestly his alt mode sucks so badly that it would be a waste. Cyclonus up there is his placeholder.

Anyway... no, he shouldn't. TT hasn't given any thought to matching MP releases so far (what with releasing Prime and Megs four apart)... why would they begin now?

My thinking was more along the lines of "use the Soundwave 'skeleton' and remold all the outer parts" just because their transformation schemes are pretty similar. More of a total reshell than a remold. It wouldn't at all be like remolding MP Sideswipe into Sunstreaker, which would be impossible since their transformation schemes are completely different.

I just think that if MP Blaster is something they want to get to someday, they may not have to start from scratch if they can use the basic design from Soundwave. And they seem to want to push more MP's out at a faster rate than before, so they may be looking for any opportunities to use their existing engineering for other characters.

Prowl / Smokescreen / Bluestreak Masterpieces next please!

Then the Coneheads to round out the Seekers!

I go with the majority opinion that there are plenty of figures I would prefer they do before Blaster. BUT, if Blaster was announced as the next MP, I would not at all complain and hit pre-order just as quickly.

They need to see sunstreaker next, while they are still got the lamborgini liscense

I would hope for jazz, shockwave and another version of megs thats in scale with prime

Should be Jazz or Galvatron.

I think they'll go again after 3rd party companies.

So MP Megatron and MP Ironhide/Ratchet.

let's be realistic, next one is either another prime, or soundblaster.

I just want different bots not repaints and minor remoulds... they're a bit naff.
