Which character would you like to see in the Masterpiece Line?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Please explain?

Hound's alt mode is based on the Jeep J59 which, if you did a quick google image, is quite a small car. If the MP is scaled to vehicle size, the bot mode will be small, practically Bumblebee size. If the MP is scaled to his size in bot mode (ie Prowl) then it will be an oversized Jeep. FT Willis chose the latter.

[Civic Bossman]

G1 Runabout / Runamuck
G1 Topspin / Twin Twist
G1 Skids
Beast Wars Neo Longrack (love this guy!!)
RiD Rail Racer



Repaints:
Tracks into G2 Skram
Bumblebee into Goldbug / Bugbite / Glyph
Seekers into G2 variants / Sandstorm etc
Sideswipe into Breakdown (G1 + G2) / maybe RiD Prowl with some retooling?
Ironhide into Energon Towline with retooling
Inferno into Energon Inferno with retooling
Grapple into Energon Roadblock with retooling


And I'll stop now.

And from all accounts I'd say that was the right call. I want to see all the original G1 season 1 bots done in MP but I must confess to also wanting more non-seeker Decepticons

Ahh, fair enough. Just like the G1 version. I would have been pretty annoyed at that puny little robot if I got it when I was a kid.

Personally I'd like to see more Best Wars MP's or perhaps some MP Triple changers. While I would like more Autobot cars, there are many out already as well as unofficial ones making them a lot less unique and interesting.

Seems like any old company can design a transforming car, I'd like to see Takara apply their ingenuity to a triple changer or a Spiderbot.

Personally I always thought Hound should be a bit smaller than the other Autobot cars in bot mode. He was bested by Rumble in the cartoon after all.

For the purpose of this poll I've voted Jazz, but dammit I want a Beast Wars Megatron!!

I second your desire for Beast Wars Megs, also Tarantulas and Blackarachnia for that matter.

I’d really like to see Wreck-Gar. Specifically designed so others of that mould can ride him in bike mode without it looking awkward.

If it was good enough and they gave us a few different Junkions I’d buy several

As it is I've never understood why they haven't done Overkill and Slugfest - both showed up in the G1 cartoon (albeit very briefly) and would go great with MP Soundwave. I can't imagine many MP collectors that have Soundwave not picking those 2 up.

Sigh... 2 years later and still waiting

Wreck-Gar is a nice dark horse pick. I'm always surprised how little love he gets, his G1 toy was and still is one of my favourite G1 figures.

You know what else I'd be down for? Skids - it was my first transformers toy, both modes are really nice and he has so many repaints (Crosscut etc).
