Way back in June 2022, we explored what a MOTU 200x sub line could look like if Mattel delved deeper into line as we share MOTU 200x Origins concepts from the customizing community. Flash forward nearly 3 years later, we have some breaking news concerning the MOTU Origins line as it appears we are getting more 200x figures. According to an anonymous source, they’ve found evidence of MOTU 200x Tri-Klops and MOTU 200x Stratos figures, that will help augment the previous 200x releases of He-Man, Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Man-At-Arms, King Rando, Snake Troopers, and others. Given that Mattel just dropped their Fall catalog of figures, we are likely to see these figures revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2025. As usual, we don’t have images yet so we are relying on the amazing and talented customizing community to show us what these concepts could look like! Huge thanks to Stronox Custom Figures and Mr. Home Arcade for providing a glimpse into what is coming.

200x Stratos Animated Series

In the contemporary relaunch of Masters of the Universe, Stratos is reimagined with anatomical wings and a jetpack that enhances rather than enables his flight. Portrayed as one of the older Masters, he sports a Scottish accent reminiscent of Sean Connery. His Bird People return, including a key character named Hawke—a fusion of the original Hawke and Delora—who, though not explicitly stated in the show, is his sister according to the series bible and comics. Unlike her ’80s counterpart, Hawke is loyal and supportive of Stratos. His most notable appearances are in the episodes Sky War, where his people are tricked into conflict by Skeletor, and Trust, which sees him reluctantly teaming up with Trapjaw.

Stratos 200x Figure

The 200x interpretation of Stratos is ultimately underwhelming, especially when compared to other updated characters in the line. While the overall sculpt is detailed and consistent with the show’s stylized aesthetic, the execution of some design choices leaves much to be desired. One of the oddest aspects is the way his wings are extended from large wrist bracers, a concept that feels both impractical and visually awkward—it strays too far from the idea of natural or even believable flight anatomy. Additionally, the figure’s shoulder articulation, which should enhance poseability, feels largely ineffective due to the limitations imposed by his bulky design and the awkward wing placement. The inclusion of a missile-firing jetpack adds a small action feature, but it feels like a minimal consolation in an otherwise disappointing figure. Overall, this version of Stratos lacks the dynamic presence and functionality that could have made him a standout in the line.

Stratos 200x MOTU Origins Concept

Mr. Home Arcade delivers an impressive custom take on a Masters of the Universe Origins 200x-style Stratos, bringing fresh life to the character by thoughtfully blending classic and modern elements. This concept figure stands out primarily due to the clever addition of flight controls integrated into the wing assembly—a design choice that not only adds functional realism but also pays homage to the 200x aesthetic while improving on its shortcomings.

You can see how the flight controls plug into the jet pack and although thsi design does not incporate any firing rockets, we don’t think the actual version will have this feature. Mr. Home Arcade’s concept makes a compelling case for how a proper 200x Stratos could be realized in the Origins line, balancing nostalgia with innovation in all the right ways.

200x Tri-Klops Origins

Tri-Klop’s design and appearance is slightly modified in the MYP animated series as his helmet is shown to be a cybernetic attachment, capable of firing a different-colored laser from each eye. We also can see (pun intended) when the helmet is melted by acid that he has artificial eyes that are wired cybernetically into his eye sockets. According to the Wiki Grayskull:

The cartoon gives Tri-Klops a much bigger role than the 1980s one did, and he is depicted as an irritable technologist and inventor, far removed from the original concept of the character as a more primitive warrior. He is Skeletor’s main inventor and spends most of his time in his workshop coming up with all sorts of weapons and vehicles to aid Skeletor, one of his most notable inventions being the Doomseekers, which are used to spy on He-Man and the Masters (a Doomseeker was also included with the new version of the figure). Shown to be considerably more intelligent than most of Skeletor’s minions (which is more in keeping with the vintage line’s original mini-comics), the cartoon also retains the portrayal of him as one of the more loyal of Skeletor’s minions.

Tri-Klops Wiki Grayskull

Retaining his vintage style look with amore angular design, Tri-Klops featured a window on top of the head which channels light into the forward-facing eye, which gives the figure a more menacing look. The armor design is the most interesting aspect as it looks like the silver hoses around the upper chest and neck appear to be integrated into the helmet, making more of a connection that they are one unit. Like the 200x version of Skeleltor, Tri-Klops’ loin armor hangs down to his knees. This figure would make an amazing design for the MOTU Origins line with the unique knee and shin armor and the updated design to the original Origins figure.

Tri-Klops 200x Origins Concept

This custom concept comes from the talented Stronox Customs customs and you can see it has a very 200x look and feel to it with the hose detail on the armor and the extended loin cloth. The paint app that Stronox applies brings out SO much detail and although we would never see THIS MUCH detail in an Origins figure, this will give you a good idea of what a 200x version in Origins could look like.
