Masterpiece Beast Wars Dinobot

[Bladestorm]

Just noticed something... last year we got MP Optimus Primal in the Year of the Monkey, and this year we may be getting MP Dinobot in the Year of the Chicken (dinosaurs = birds). Given that next year is the Year of the Dog, will we get an MP Silverbolt?

(yes, I know that K-9 would be a more suitable candidate, but MP moulds are obviously based on characters who appeared in the cartoons)

If this was the case wouldn't it have been more logical for them to do Megatron since he turns into the ultimate therapod - a T-Rex ... which is also a distant ancestor of the bird. I would expect him to sell a little better than dinobot.

My daughter would be in heaven if they brought out an MP Silverbolt but I really think if they want to be balanced they need to bring out a Predacon to balance out the Maximals.

Does that mean we get Megatron and Terrosaur this year too? You know non turncoat MP Predacons

Megatron would make sense, Terrorsaur not so much as Pterosaurs were actually reptiles not dinosaurs and thus not related to birds (let alone chickens).

Good point come to think of it shouldn't Silverbolt be released on the stroke of midnight New Years eve, being half bird?

Also Rattrap in 2020! but we have to wait till 2025 for Quickstrike.

Not a bad idea!

Or they could release them sooner and rerelease them with New Year redecoes. They already do it now, but then at least the moulds would be relevant to that year's patron animal. I don't even know what this year's Year of the Chicken Transformer is... that's how little I pay attention to it since it bears bugger all relevance.

TT probably don't want to release two Megatrons in the same year even though they're from different storylines.

That said, we could get a BW Megatron reveal towards the end of the year, with release date set for next year.

Do you know how much this is an unreasonable request? The only way that can work is if you made the head incredibly disproportionate and ugly.

A Transformers fan being unreasonable? Surely you jest, good sir!

Off topic, but I would absolutely love a Masterpiece Silverbolt.

I'd love to see them tackle season 1 Blackarachnia. That would be a feat of toy engineering to make her screen accurate.

Although he'd be a totally different mold, I'd love to see a season 1 Tarantulas, with proper Tarantula Beast mode.
