I took a huge plunge today and decided to finally start collecting Transformers with the introduction of the MPG line.

I missed out on most of the main characters in the Masterpiece line, and by the time they got back around to them again, they'd transitioned to this low-detail "cartoon accurate" design that I hate. So I'm seeing this as a chance to fill out a good line-up of main characters at a level of detail and articulation that I've been wanting. Assuming the line continues on in this style.

So far it's just pre-orders for a pretty cool looking Optimus Prime and a just-announced Soundwave which is what convinced me to get on board.

At a couple hundred dollars each, though, I'm hoping they don't do more than two a year (or so), so it'll be a long time before I can even hypothetically get the line-up that I'm wishing for.
 
Funny that you say you don't like the cartoon accurate MPs. This Soundwave is meant to evoke the cartoon aesthetic with the color choices. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same mold as the original MP Soundwave tho, so it's got plenty of detail. Just maybe not as accentuated by different paint apps.

I only mean in terms of removing detail from the designs.

Like the MP-52 Starscream where they just kind of smoothed him out a bit, or when Super7 did "cartoon accurate" He-Man figures and just removed all the texture from the hair and fur. (And the Legends Spider-Man animated figures where they took all the scales off of Hobgoblin's arms and legs.) If that makes sense.

It just looks low-effort under the disguise of "this is how you remember it."
