I really disagree with the notion of “if you want a figure to resemble the original toy, buy the original toy.” The original toys had a very cool look to them, but had such limited poseability and engineering that they can really only be in one static pose. I don’t think that it should be a big deal to want a modern figure with the original toy aesthetic, but with modern engineering and poseability.

I find menasor to be a good example. Most menasors have the cars on the back of the legs which is show accurate but looks wise for me it doesn’t look the best due the legs usually look like black and grey bricks while there’s 2 cars slapped on the back. The magic square menasor has the option for front of leg configuration which looks much better like he looks like a combiner made of cars and not large grey and black robot with cars slapped on

The MP-02 Soundwave is my first masterpiece and it still holds up even compared to modern official masterpiece figures. Then I got Acoustic Wave and, after messing with it and handling this guy, it’s one of my favorite figures in my collection. And Soundwave is my favorite character. Quality build, quality paint, and very poseable. The transformation isn’t horrendous like I expected and I had fun with it (I heavily disagree with you on that among other things; I have messed with Spoiler, Masterpiece Megatron, Crimson Wing, XTB Eligos, and 01Studio Cell Unicron, and this is nothing compared to these guys). The only complaint is a lack of molded-in details that FansToys tends to do that MP-02 has. I love it when figures have unnecessary molded-in details when they didn’t need to do that. All in all, I think this is a good upgrade.

You bring this up a lot, and I wanna play Devil's Advocate for a moment here: I think it's perfectly okay to invoc toy accuracy in new figures. While the show might be the way people were introduced to the characters, and made to enjoy them, being a kid who plays with toys, you'd spend much more time with their plastic counterpart. As long as toon accurate toys DO exist, I'd like some to reflect the toys' look instead. Why not just release the old toys? Well sure, go ahead and do that, but *I* don't want the G1 Jetfire toy. I want a modern figure, with modern articulation, modern engineering, and modern sculpting. Older toys are bricks, have GPS, and bad proportions. Is it wrong that I want something that closer matches my childhood memories while not sacrificing figure quality?

Rereleasing the toy is an issue because it doesn't hold up to modern articulation Standards, even though G1 Soundwave was legitimately one of the best G1 toys. When people ask for some toy loyalty they mainly want the extra detail and more realistic alt modes. This can come out in something like MP 01, which had pistons in the elbows reimagined from the stickers on the original toy. On mainline stuff this typically comes out as griebling, and the best example of that would be SS 86 Grimlock which gets a perfect blend of modern engineering and toyetic detailing despite supposedly being in the toon accurate line.

@@PerspectiveEnd Seems like a situation where you're getting things confused. The crowd that wants a new toy to be 1:1 to the old one in terms of included features and overall design isn't the same crowd of people who prefer and asthetic blend of toon and toy like how the MP line started out as. For instance take G2 Laser Optimus, a toy loaded with features and gimmicks in the trailer. The toy gimmick loyalty people hate the Legacy version as the trailer doesn't have all those features, having migrated the missile pods to the shoulders, turned the disk launcher into and axe, and replaced the air powered missile with a small repair arm, as well as lacking the giant horrific stickers on the trailer. As a contrast to this the toyetic detail groupl is loving it for it's copious surface detailing. In contrast theres the 3P version which tones down the detailing and keeps all the gimmicks, which the toy gimmick crowd loves, while the toyetic detail crowd finds to just inflate the price. Another example is MP44. It recreates every gimmi8ck from the G1 toy, but the toyetic detail people still hate it for it's overly simplistic look. A toy detail is Kingdom Rhinox having the original toy's head and realistic skin texturing. A toy gimmick is T30 Rhinox having spinning gatling guns. You'll notice that the people who like that Kingdom Primal like that he's a realistic gorrilla, not that he has the original toy's chest beating gimmick.

Thinking about it, I think they even pulled a bit of a fast one with the included cassette. Because, MP comes with laserbeak and that's a classic. But FT comes with frenzy (as the G1 cartoon called him as we're talking G1 accuracy), Now frenzy WAS a legacy character, but I'm sure he was the least represented of the 4 cassettes in the cartoon. However think about it from FT perspective, if they put in a laserbeak or a ravage, then their little cassette pack comes with 2 identical moulds. But if you get a Frenzy, then the cassette pack comes with the 2 animal cassettes and a recolour. I'm pretty sure this is their reason. In G1 if you saw a humanoid cassette, it was the blue rumble more than frenzy, rumble was the 6th most appearing decepticon after skywarp while frenzy was 25th! only just beating the stuntacons ie the ones who missed an entire season starting off (this is going by a list that's only counting S1 and 2 but then the cassettes all got rotated out after that) That said, I'm pretty impressed they managed to include weapon storage for Frenzy/rumble, considering not even the larger sized MMC or MP managed it.

Absolutely the point was to force you to buy the cassettes. MMC had the Weapon storage. It's pretty much an integral part of the transformation.

The key difference between these two is what they are trying to be. mp soundwave isn’t really what a “transformers masterpiece” figure means today. The fans toys figure is way more inline with that hyper toon accuracy thing the modern masterpiece figures are doing while the actual mp soundwave is an update to the original g1 toy. The mp has the yellow eyes and the hips that hinge forward and rotate above the hinge instead of normal hips. I once heard someone say that the mp soundwave is a toy of what they remember playing with as a child. Basically the masterpiece is how they remembered their g1 toy looking. The child’s brain fills in the gaps and the toy looks more accurate in hindsight.

Generally they seem to have a good reputation. Most of the “good” KO manufacturers don’t have it in stock atm… I was hunting for one earlier this year. The no brand one is okay but apparently not as good as the official one (the legs don’t sit straight on because of the joints). This may not bother you but it did to me. If you are patient you might come across an MP-13 or MP-02 Soundwave for a good deal. I hope that helps.
@PerspectiveEnd2 жыл бұрын
The KO's have a very good reputation for the most part. I'd say look on Ebay or Ali express for a KO Soundwave, then if you see one you are thinking about getting look up a review of that companies Soundwave KO to see if it's got any issues you should be aware of. But I do recommend you buy a KO at this point, basically anything official is going to have horrible after market prices.
@Quiss-lw5uf2 жыл бұрын
I don't think I really agree with you on a lot of points. I personally prefer the newer one over the mp, I'll probably never own either, and that's a shame. And I know it's not relevant here, but do you think there's a risk of not every part of motor masters trailer becoming menasor for legacy? I've looked at a lot of pictures and there's a few panels I just can't figure out where they go
@PerspectiveEnd2 жыл бұрын
I think it's likely that all the parts will be included in some way. But we do know for sure part of it is becoming a gun. So some of it is definitely turning into accessories. But if anything is just getting left out entirely I expect they just would leave a hole in the trailer. And what parts do you disagree on?

Yeah I can agree. It may look accurate and cool, but I like the Masterpiece more and is still the best Soundwave I own without paying 300 bucks imo. While not owning the official MP, I have the Toy House Factory Sonic Wave whichfeel like one and got it for like around 70 or 80, which is a good deal because I'm starting to think twice on buying 3rd Party Transformers after owning Zeta Toys Flash, which while better than Mechanical Alliance for being more solid inhis robot mode, has the arm problems, parts clashing and not enough clearance on the transformation, and a damn ton of die-cast that I now agree why it's pointless since I can feel that it just fool the human brain to thinking it's hood and it won't survive shelf diving (which is a good thing my MPM-12 doesn't have too much die-cast, stays solid and have enjoyable transformation imo, yours may vary). So now I'll either get official product, 3rd Party that aren't to expensive and/or 4th Party stuff if they look a bit better. But other than that rant, a pretty greay video nontheless which helps me decide if I want or not. It's still looks good, but ain't for me and not sending so much cash for it.
@PerspectiveEnd2 жыл бұрын
Fun fact, you may just not like ZetaToys, because Zeta Toys are the people who DESIGNED the Mechanical Alliance figure. They just realized the design they made didn't pan out, so they sold it to MA and then made their own. There are a great many AMAZING 3P Figures out there, I just don't think Zeta really makes any.

So Fanstoys originally designed this way back before the MP Soundwave came out, but they sat on it because they didn't want to compete directly with Takara, then that figure turned out to be amazing so everyone held of making a Soundwave because there wasn't much point. Now FT has released this under the Robot Paradise name with some minor updates because they wanted to finally use it. But it is just the old FT design.
