I've been waiting for someone to show off their purchase of the new Masterpiece Bumblebee !
Are these newer MP Transformers basically Gen-1 accurate counterparts to the old Alternators line ? Are they on par with the Alternators in terms of scale and quality ?
I have a few of the earlier US-released Masterpiece TFs, and they're great, but I haven't picked up any of these newer ones based on real-life cars.
They look cool, but I'm still on the fence about jumping back into this line.

bumblebee is fantastic.

masterpiece figures have nothing to do with alternators and don't scale with alternators either.

masterpiece is my absolute favorite currently running toy line. just about all of the figures are fantastic.. bumblebee, prowl, bluestreak, smokescreen, sideswipe, red alert, wheeljack, magnus, rodimus, prime, starscream, skywarp, thundercracker, grimlock.. they're all fantastic.. the cars definitely being the best, specifically the datsuns are AWESOME.

they're figures that are supposed to represent the way they were in the cartoon/real versions of the vehicles they were supposed to be. so, all of the cars are licensed.

and they're all to cartoon scale.. so, while a VW bug isn't much smaller than the other cars, in this line, it's much smaller because that's the way it was in the cartoon.

it's a truly fantastic line, though, it may be pricy if you're looking to catch up.
