He looks pretty cool but I can't imagine Hasbro and Takara not doing one

Grimlock will be sweet, but I just don't enjoy him nearly as much without the rest of the Dinobots. I will definitely pick him up if the others are released, but without them I am on the fence.

[StraightEdgeHe-Man]

He so like that Grimlock and ill pick him up, Idk if I buy any other Dinobots if they had them, that'd be a lot of cash, so I prefer him alone I guess

[starjoesryan]

I love Grimlock, so I will definitely get him, but I am a huge fan of the Dinobots overall, so if they all come out, I will get them all. I never had them all as a kid (only had Slag), so this would be my chance if they did them all.

So I was curious last night as to which characters had been made in the Masterpiece line and I must say I'm sort of sad. Outside of Skywarp they haven't made a single one that I'd buy. Why they haven't made a Prowl or Hound yet I find confusing unless it has to do with rights on the vehicle types. But if they could get Alternators done in the mid 00's, can't see how it could be a problem now.

[starjoesryan]

It probably depends on what the contract was for. The license may have just been for that one time figure. Now it would be all new negotiations.

I do hate the fact that back in the day of he 80s it was okay to do these vehicles because the car companies saw it as free advertising. Now, they feel they have to get something for it.

[Grubbzilla]

If they made prowl they could easily get Bluestreak and Smokescreen out of it as well since I believe they were all the same car type. Maybe one day

If you look at all the MPs, until recently it's been a slow moving line altogether and it 1st started in 2003, so it just takes a while to get to any character in general

[starjoesryan]

I found Soundwave and the cassette packs. Did not find a Soundbaster variant yet.
