Yeah, probably, but if they're just taking up space/sitting in storage, what's the point of keeping them? Thing is, I do really love some of them, it was one of the lines that got me back into TFs. So just like I could never really bring myself to sell my 20th Anniversary OP, it would be tough to let go of some of the Alts. And then some were just hard to get, so I feel like all that work would be wasted if I sold them. *sigh* Ah, nerd problems.

i remember seeing something like that but can't remember what it actually looked like. Have a link to it?
Found it, edited the post on the previous page.

As for the scale guide. THIS. Perhaps they want to do the smaller car robots first? So maybe we'll see Wheeljack and Mirage down the line.
Ah cool, makes sense if you want both modes for the same character. I usually cover that by getting the repaint and having one in each mode.

That's not the scale guide I meant, but yeah they'll probably do the smaller ones first. The only major hurdle is the licensing.

But some of them are so good! However, there comes a point where I need to make some big decisions about where I want my collection to go. First I wanted all the best versions of every character, now I may have to cut that back the original, a modern take, and a masterpiece.

I DO!!! I regret letting go of my Alt/BT collection 4 years ago. Since MP1 goes very well with the Alts/BT's I would display them together.

MP-10 would be displayed with the new MP's and my iGear Mini Warriors. Ima sucker for licensed vehicle TF's

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

If Takara is making molds that can be easy redeco, then MP Ironhide and Ratchet are likely to happen. But if all upcoming MP Bots are to be scaled with MP-10 like MP-12/14, then MP Bots will be getting quite tiny while MP Cons will be looking very big bad asses.

Come on. Bring on MP Shockwave!

And I hope we get MP Triple Changers in a few years. MP Astrotrain and MP Blitzwing would be EPIC!

Re: BC Community Thread For Non-Sightings Chat

I still want a Galvatron, dammit! But I'd like a Shockwave. Or pretty much anybody they haven't already done. Or even... yes, the inevitable Megatron 2.0. Blitzwing would be freakin' epic...

I'm probably skipping most of Beast Hunters. And maybe Movie 4. Actually, out all the generations I should ditch, it's definitely Bayformers.

Hell yeah! But if they make it in scale...

DOUBLE HELL YEAH!

Hm. Maybe beyond my core focus (G1/Classics/MPs) I should pare it down to just my favorite characters:

Megatron
Soundwave
Starscream

Optimus Prime
Hot Rod
Prowl? Jetfire?

And what about Galvatron? And Grimlock? This is hard.

If that was truly the case I'd just give up and sell everything. Who needs G3 when you have G1 masterpieced?
