Did... Did you seriously just make a joke about police brutality?
We are talking about a character whose branding is "evil twist on cop", and for whom "to punish and enslave" has been literally inscribed on his body at points.
It's not like Superomegaprime is flippantly commenting on an incident of police abuse of a citizen. If you're going to enjoy Transformers at all you'll need to be able to separate things, or you'll break a finger or two clutching pearls when you hear people talk about this Megatron guy.

I'm honestly surprised we have not gotten a Thunder Clash or Machine Wars figures yet.
Gotta think with that Prime Dreadwing mold there is an opportunity for a MW Starscream or Universe King Atlas.
Considering Machine Wars is a line that never came to really be, its unlikely to get much attention, while King Atlas is extremely obcure character and from what written about him on TF wiki (take with a gain of salt) the name was originally going to be the offical English name for Dai Altas and Dai Altas had a modern figure not to long ago as a heavy retool of the TR Skyshadow/Overlord mold but then with that mold, I had hoped they would do Thunderwing, as he is overdue for an update and such a character should really get a large figure
Machine Wars is one of those things that a toy capsule would be perfect for since it's a small cast and can be p/retooled from molds that also see use in the mainline. Have Thunder Clash be in the main line and MW Optimus be in the capsule. Euro Skyquake in the main line, MW Starscream in the capsule. A Puffer/Road Ranger style 2-pack of Hoist and Hubcap from Scraphook with a mix of alt parts and accessories.
Right? Space Pirates or whatever this line with Cannonball and the others is can get a capsule, then I feel like Machine Wars could get one.
The "problem" with a MW is that most these capsules are small. 4 deluxes, 1 voyager, and 1 or 2 Leaders. Also they've all be remolds or repaints. No new molds so if we were to get Prime through this, he certainly wouldn't be a new mold. Beyond that, we've not had a whole lot of deluxe jets, so most the Decepticons would be out. You could maybe get Starscream and Soundwave, but that uses up both leader spots, so no Prime. You could maybe get Sandstorm from Selects Rotorstorm. Mirage or Prowl from Kingdom Mirage, Hoist or Hubcap from Scraphook, As I'll assume they wont wont to double up in this line. That still leaves a dlx and voyager and not a lot of characters to choose from, less you just want to shoehorn in Needlenose as one of the 3 decepticon jets, even if they look nothing a like.
If unreleased G2 toys we only know about from eBay auctions are on the table, Machine Wars should be on the table.
Save for Takara surprising everyone with Override and Cosmos.
Yeah, but those weren't planned. Like you said, Takara just surprised everyone by being madlads and designing them on their own rather then remolding Hot Rod and Origins Bumblebee. I don't see that happening again, least not for Machine Wars.
Maybe it was the execution. I was still a bit more of a novice at Photoshop, so instead of doing an edit of a toy pic, I just wound up coloring a pic from the instructions of the then-current Prowl:

The "no new molds" thing is easily addressed by releasing a new mold first through the main line, THEN making the capsule.
I mean, expecting a Commander class redeco in a capsule is also a tall order, but that's a separate feasibility question. (But a Voyager cab robot? With an Earthrise style weedy trailer as a Leader?)
We definitely do need more Deluxe class Earthmode jet options.

Aerialbots should fix that up.

well we got a few reuses of them in Combiner wars... so I'm sure Hasbro has plans for the new ones too
Thunderclash: Next time don't embarrass yourselves!
His feet arguably can't hold up to that either!
It's just that it's remarkably hard to get those four Prime figures especially to look down to look "dejected"
