    What the hell has happened to the Masterpiece line.

    Just looking over the list, I see recolour molds galore (seekers and some ugly honda city car 5 times) for 2021, 2022 and 2023 with I think one fresh mold for Skyfire.

    These repaints should be treated as filler, give us 3-4 fresh molds a year and pad your pockets for the superfans in between.

    We need focus on Beast Wars, Masterpiece Movie, Gen 1, and then a wild card item.

    Ridiculous. No wonder TransArt has come to suck up the money these dummies are dropping on the floor.

    Anyway, so what's next from TransArt, do we have a date for TM2 Cheetor, TM2 Dinobot or TM2 BA?

    If I may be so bold... We DID get 3-4 new molds each of those years.
    2021 had 3 new molds (MP Seekers, MP Honda City, MPM Bumblebee OP)
    2022 will end up with 4 new molds (MPM Blackout, 2 MPG trains, MP Trailbreaker should sneak into 2022)
    2023 is set for 3 new molds as of now (Skyfire, 2 more MPG trains)

    I know opinions on these molds are all over the place, but they are new molds, and I think MPG is hitting that wild card you mention. I'm not saying it's what everyone wants, but from TT's perspective, they are doing exactly what you said.

    I don't believe there are solid dates around. There was hope for BA before the end of the year but doesn't look like it now.

    Trypticon is the perfect size for an MP Gigastorm

    Spend some extra time on the budget, pump up articulation a little, and we've got ourselves an MP Gigastorm. Release along side Galvatron and you've got a wining combination.

    i like the way the Buzzworthy beasts
    go with TM2 Megs. Similar color scheme (red, purple, black, gold), all with monstrous details. Sort of like a demonic subgroup of Predacons

    Out of all TF history, I think BM stands the most to gain from some new figures. The OG Vehicons are still some of my favorite figures to this day. Newer, larger and more detailed figures would be great. Even new Maximals which fix the major design flaws of the old molds would be neat to see.

    Following my prior post, I've been working on Primal's body but that's not ready to show yet. But I took a break to try and replicate the spark effect. It's not done yet either, still needs more detail on the inside (missing the pulsing spheres/lights), but here's a short gif of where I am with that so far.
