I'm happy to have these drawn out, as I don't think they will do too many as Masterpiece toys - probably the first five Maximals and three or four season one Predacons. It will prolong the focus on the Beast Wars universe, prompting homage toys in other toylines at the time (like Generations and any upcoming gimmick toylines in Japan).

I am disappointed that we didn't have Megatron be one of the first two, or at least one Predacon announced yet, as the first four are Maximals.
Masterpiece was largely undefined 15 years ago. It had a clumsy start until the MP-10 renewal.

So even though we are now getting roughly a Masterpiece a month, it would still be nice to have more Beast Wars bots. Comparatively there aren't even that many of them, or 2007 movie bots.

But they are possibly blending Masterpiece in with the Generations Beast Wars for a renewal set...
