    Are the 3A Megatron and Bumblebee still happening?
    I've been eying the MAS-03 FOC Optimus too.

    YES! I want to know this as well. From Toys Alliance FB Page, MAS-03 is looking to be Soundwave. Not sure what they are doing with the FOC prototype they have, first it was a MP Scaled Teppeki Gokin figure, and last we saw him it was on display with Megatron as a part of the MAS series...

    And I'm down for the 3A G1 Megatron and Bumblebee. I fear this line maybe going the way of Hot Toys G1 Prime and we might not see anything else get produced. ThinkGeek is practically giving away the Magnus version of him. TFSource recently knocked 100.00 off. I don't think it will be long before BBTS slashes prices on their stock as well. The non-transforming radical design of prime along with a hefty price tag may have killed this line already. Too bad.

    Do LR-44 batteries work on this guy? They're getting the gun to light up, the shoulder lit up once then quit, and the eyes and Matrix are not lighting up at all.

    They work to light up the gun and shoulder on mine but not the chest/eyes. I have not been able to get the chest/eyes to light up at all on mine.

    Yeah, man! It's nuts - a patron of my work surprised me with it for Christmas! Completely crazy. Sooo incredibly generous. Which is why I feel terrible admitting I never mess with it! It looks great for what it is, but you know me - I'm really only interested in MPs! This thing is absolutely humongous, which makes it impressive but not as fun to pose as an MP. Plus, of course, it doesn't transform! In my dumb brain if it doesn't transform it ain't a Transformer ;) 

    I do need to get around to taking shots of this guy, but even that's not as easy due to his size. Obviously what I really want is Prime v3 on my desk asap ;)

    That's awesome. Yeah I dig the look, and I'm curious to see what their Bumblebee looks like, but I probably wouldn't pick any of them up because they don't do that thing Transformers should do!

    They're doing a G1 Bumblebee, too? Oh, man, I'm really curious about that! Wonder how much it'll look like the MP? Ashley Wood definitely based his Optimus on MP-10.

    Probably something like this if it ever gets made. And he is supposed to come with a spike figure. We haven't heard anything on this for a while. We are creeping up on 2 years since we saw Megatrons prototype... I'm guessing the line is dead or they lost the G1 License.

    Oh I’m hoping they release a Bumblebee based on that art print. That’s an instant buy. Prime I didn’t care for, but that Bee :drool: I would also be interested in Ashley’s interpretation of Jazz, whatever that would look like I’m sure it would be stunning.

    @decemberist if you're still around, what's happening with the G1 Megatron?

    G1 line is on hold currently. Focus is on the film line

    If/when G1 Megs happens, it'll most likely be a kickstarter style sale since the G1 Prime didn't do as well as we'd wanted

    Sounds like MP G1 toys as well. Was hoping to see Megs. These guys look awesome. I'm wondering if Alt-Metals will do a Megatron. I'm guessing they did the latest battle damage Prime to generate some revenue for that venture, ya?

    Thanks @decemberist for the input.
    Sorry to hear OP didn't sell well. I'd be very keen to pick one up if I knew Megatron was just around the corner, but sadly it doesn't sound like it.
    What is a kickstarter sale? I've never heard that term...

    Very sorry to hear that. I love the G1 Prime, as well as the recolors. I do look forward to whatever is next, though, which hopefully is TLK Megatron!

    Not feeling it.
    I wonder if 3A have only been allowed to make G1 figures in this highly stylized way so that it does not impact on the Masterpiece line?
