    Large
    Megatron V2
    Grimlock V2 (personal preference, packed with Wheelie)
    Sixshot

    Medium
    Jazz
    Ironhide
    Ratchet

    Small
    Chibi Cliffjumper
    Kickback
    Huffer (so I can sell my 3rd party Huff and make it official)

    Cassettes
    Rewind / Steeljaw
    Overkill / Slugfest
    Beastbox / Squawktalk

    At the end of the day though, if I were to get all six figures listed in my Large and Medium categories, I would be happy thowing every G1 characters name into a hat and picking at random. Flamefeather? Yup! Longtooth? All over it! Kirk the Head? Gimme gimme!!

    I'm more of a movie guy myself would love to see a Blackout or something but yesterday, I was messing around with my TM Megatron. That toy does a pretty good job of being show accurate besides a few obvious things. I got to thinking, I would most certainly drop some cash on a MP version of Beast Wars TM Megs.

    After thinking about it, I figured why the hell not:

    Masterpiece Bayverse Sideswipe and Bee

    I'd be all over that. I know we have MP21 but I personally prefer Movie Camaro Bee to G1 VW Beetle Bee. Yes, we have MP12 but an MP Bayverse Swipe would just be all kinds of awesome.:drool:

    I think those would be pretty cool, too. I've always wanted to do a "then & now" with the movie bots and their G1 MP namesakes. If a Masterpiece Bayverse Sideswipe and the MP G1 Sideswipe were in scale, and standing next to each other, the picture would be incredible!

    Of course, my wishlist is getting the rest of the Season one bots done before we get that far :) 

    Have fun!

    If you really one want, Takara released a Masterpiece Bee a few years ago:

    It's a cool repaint, but it's just that, a repaint. If they're going to do mp movieverse figures, they should be new molds that are in scale with each other as well as the g1 mp line.

    My problem with anything Bayverse is that they will always look dumbed down for their bot modes. There's just too many moving parts and little pieces of metal here and there for every single design. It's my biggest gripe of the series, they're just too busy. All of the movie toys faces look like crap to me b/c they're just impossible to render in plastic.

    It seems strange how we have gotten all of the 1984 Decepticons (well except for Reflector as the OP said) but we have only got 7 out of 18 Autobots in the MP Line with Optimus Prime,Bumblebee,Sideswipe,Wheeljack,Tiger Track (Unofficial Sunstreaker),Prowl,and Bluestreak.

    And yet all Hasbro's talk about Autobots sell better than Decepticons then why haven't they brought out the rest of the Autobots in the MP Line?,as for all the Decep Jet repaints I say forget about those for a while and finish giving us fans some Autobot Love as I would flip if they came out with Mirage,Ratchet,Ironhide,Trailbreaker,Hound,and Jazz,the rest of the Minibots I could also wait for.So I say Make It Happen Hasbro and give us our Autobots.


    Update;but beyond 1984 I really wanna see Skyfire get the MP treatment,sure Gen. Leader Jetfire is nice but he is so out of scale with MP Prime when he should be atleast 25% taller like in the show not the same height,so I hope Takara will eventually do him.

    We may have gotten all of the 1984 Decepticons except for mail aways.. But only Soundwave and the tapes are really post MP10 quality and design. The seekers even in MP11 guise reflect pre MP10 design and aesthetics; you can pose them but it takes work, their overall design isn't as harmonious and pose-able like the more recent figures. They however got a pass because they managed to fit in the scale the line seem to be going for after Rodimus and Prime accidentally. They fit in much the way Grimlock mostly fits not because the size was planned :) 

    And lets not talk about -mp5- he who -mp5- will not be -mp5- named -mp5-.

    So in the modern highly articulate and pose-able, very accurate and in scale, product line... They have quite a way to go in both factions :)

    Just....wow.... yeah, a second before I saw this post, I don't think I ever spared a moment of thought for obscure G2 characters, but seeing these, yeah, I'm right there with you. Take my money.

    Speaking of cool automobile designs, I always loved the Hot Rod Patrol. But I'd want them scaled as Micromasters, so it wouldn't be quite as effective as a cool car display.

    Here's an idea... Masterpiece Micromasters done at 1:64 scale (i.e. Hot Wheels/Matchbox/Tomica scale). Tiny, detailed, well-articulated Transformers done at that scale would be fun in their own right, but would also work well scaled to the rest of the MP line. Maybe they could even be done as a sub-series through Tomica, Takara Tomy's own 1:64 auto line.
