What figure do you want to see in the MASTERPIECE LINE?

I wish they'd put out an Octane or Swoop. Two of my faves that don't have enough figures! Actually id settle for any other figure of them!

GALVATRON

i believe there's some rumor that the next masterpiece figure may be 2010-centric: G1 season 3 was known as something something 2010 (or "fight super robot life 2010", i dont remember) in japan.

i'd love all the dinobots but i doubt we will ever get.

i wouldn't mind MP thrust, dirge, and ramjet

Unicron

I'd be first in line for ANY Autobot cars...
Sixshot?
Omega Supreme?
Constructicons?
MP Perceptor that turns into a realistic microscope with three objective lenses and weighted legs, with working coarse and fine adjustment knobs? LED light source under the sample table?

Also, Minerva just suggested one to me that I agree with more than any of these, but I'll let her post it...

A bit outside the box from me, but I would love a MP Beast Wars Megatron... I know they have just done a T-Rex for Grimlock, but a realistic one that can say 'Yess' with the push of a button would be great!

As long as his little T-Rex arms twiddle their two fingers in some sort of Mech Alive feature while he says it.

Haha! That's a great suggestion, Rumble! I'd definitely get that one!

TT seems to have forgotten that he also suggested Roadbuster, which I think would make a great MP!

My pick would be Jetfire.

But of course, I wouldn't have it any other way!

EDIT: Would it be Jetfire (toy) or more like Skyfire (toon) Minerva?

Well, it's the masterpiece line. How about both? Classics pulled that off gracefully!

Soundwave with a couple cassettes would be awesome.

Since TT mentioned it, why not a Menasor giftset? Ohhh, boy!

Well, personally, I would want either:
1) Reflector, with a working 10MP+ digital camera function.
or
2) Blaster, given the MP3 treatment a la Soundwave.

I suppose I could also settle for taking out a mortgage if they made a $1000 Fortress/Grand Maximus the size of my dining room table.

Realistically however, so far, I think that one of two requirements must be met for selection for the Masterpiece line:
1) It must be a genuinely iconic figure (Megatron, Grimlock, Prime) guaranteed to move a bajillion units
or
2) It must be relatively easily repaintable (Seekers, and also Prime).

I think the most likely entry will be either an Autobot car (Bluestreak/Prowl/Smokescreen) or an 3-5 pack of mini-bots (with a second 3-5 pack to follow for the unused characters that share the first mold). Or they'll go with Hot Rod, and sell a Rodimus Upgrade package.

I was thinking of something similar to (or inspired by) the Classics Jetfire-figure.

I agree. It makes sense that the next one would be Hot Rod...

I would love to see the next MP be Jetfire. As closely resembling his G1 versoin as posible. That would be awesome.

I think it's safe to say that everyone wants every g1 figure masterpieced.

You got it exactly right skywarp.

I'd kinda like to see one of the other series 3 charters other than galvatron and rodimus done for masterpiece. {as those two character are kinda lame and have been done a lot.}

Springer, arcee, scourge, cyclonus, blurr, wreck gar, terrorcons, trypticon,metroplex, technobots, predacons, sky lynx, etc all need more attention than the leaders.

[although if a leader is made I would say Galvatron would be better than roddy.]

___________

as for pipe dream MP figures. Maybe the other four dinobots, maybe an MP headmaster or target master figure, or even something from the masterfoce/victory era.

How about a Masterpiece RID GALVATRON? I just bought a giant KO of him at Big Lots for $13 USD. Its crap, in mean thin-cheap-flimsy-plasic, and the tail end of it is molded to where there is no articulation, but it looks kick ass in robot mode.

yeah but you know those are all but pipe dreams as well. masterpiece so far has been about G1 leaders and leaders-to-be (repaints like thundercracker and skywarp aside). G1 galvatron hasn't been done at all in a respectable fashion...for that matter neither has rodimus.
