    And the other Masterpiece survey includes Optimus Primal, Lio Convoy, Big Convoy, Super Fire Convoy, plus the Armada, Energon and Cybertron Primes. (Mix of Japanese and Occidental names for clarity). So the reason why "people still not getting that the Masterpiece line is all about G1" is because it's not.

    If those "fan voted" figures are released with the title of MP-22 or MP-23 only and not something like MP-M01 Starscream (Movie line) or MP-12T Tigertrack (repaint of original G1 character Lambor), which separate them into sub classifications from the original Masterpiece line then I will stand corrected.

    The only one who stands out is MP-02 Magnus. And yeah - I admit...I can't give explanations for that figure. But it's a blatant obvious repaint. And every other repaint after that has had another letter added to the characters MP title to separate them from the mainline which then set the new trend for sub line masterpiece figures.

    TT's way of sucking up to fans for the 30th anniversay.
    More variety in the MP line is obviously a good thing. But for some the fan vote characters scale may be a problem. Scale was the main reason they revamped the line to begin with and say if fans picked God Ginrai, Ginrai as the Godmaster that transforms into the engine block of the truck would be too big as a human with tech armor on. If MP10 and the potential MP God Ginrai are to be roughly the same size in truck mode, Ginrai would have to tower over Spike...(let alone God Ginrai could be a freaking expensive toy) Just my random geeky thoughts though

    If scale is actually an issue and let's face it, scale and TFs rarely go hand in hand. They could cheat a little bit, make Ginrai in his armour only part of the engine block if need be and there ya go.

    However, I suspect that Spike with MP 10 isn't in scale anyway so it may well just be a moot point.

    God Ginrai would be a massive toy though. I'd still want one. But I bet the could probably give him an accurate look and keep the toy within reason with the other MPs.

    Here's our first glimpse of MP-20 Wheeljack. It's just a silhouette but looks promising.

    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    I wonder if we may see an encore G1 Wheeljack to match the Masterpiece version...
