Has the Masterpiece line come to an end?

To me hasbro has dropped their interest in making g1 masterpiece.

Tt has slowed down considerably but balance with bw masterpiece.
The masterpiece line is out of place because they combined beastwars numbers and g1 making it a same collection hence it doesn't look like the masterpiece line has ended. They are using the bw series to cover any issues with g1 toys masterpiece in licensing or design.

Yeah, while I appreciate Takara branching out into Beast Wars, and it's a welcome change; it's still weird that they haven't announced any more G1 stuff after Artfire. There's still a lot of juice left in G1 Masterpeice, and there's plenty of characters they can do without a special license, like the Insecticons (Shrapnel, Bombshell, and Kickback - who bascially began life as Diaclone toys) and the 1986 movie cast (Galvatron, Arcee, Blurr, etc - which had futuristic alt-modes designed for the movie). Since these toys aren't based on real-life vehicles, and there's no pressure to be "exact" replicas of a certain thing, it should be relatively easy to design these Masterpiece figures.
