    If Magnus Prime's colors at least is similar enough to PE PC-16's color scheme where it fits in decently and not glaringly so then I'm fine with just using Magnus Prime for the set. After all if it's compatible enough for TR PM Optimus as well as Super Ginrai then there's no reason why Magnus Prime can't do the same.

    PE was asked on Facebook if they'd do a version of PC16 for Magnus Prime and they said yes. We just have to wait and see how or if the blues and reds on Magnus differ from Ginrai.

    I got mine today and the batteries went the way they were shown on the instructions on mine. Odd.

    The little "Jinrai" mini fig is fun but an elbow bend short of greatness. I am surprised by how taken I am with the new head though. From the pics I thought it was pretty much the same, but it's actually got a bunch of subtle differences and it looks a lot better for it.

    Can't wait for PC-16 to drop!

    Does anyone have a thread link, or product link, to the MMC God master set by chance? Keep hearing about it here, but zero luck searching for it in the threads, so far...

    Man, if the blue doesn't match Ginrai, it's really going to need some work to match the brighter PMOP.

    (Testors acrylic Dark Blue is a close match to Hasbro's OP blue, for those willing to paint).

    Okay, so this reference is not actually for anything to do with PMOP/Ginrai at all...basically just a company comparison moreso than identical product comparison. That was fairly misleading...

    I decided to go ahead and do some premature partswaps in preparation for the kits. My plan was to take the Takara cab and swap it onto the hasbro version once the kits were in hand. My son wanted to see what the Hasbro cab and chest looked on the Takara body so I did that for him. I also swapped the waists and for the record I hate the red application on the Takara waist. I felt like it makes the legs appear shorter. You can see the contrast of value in the reds but honestly in person it's not that bad. But it may bother some more than it does me.

    I've never owned a perfect effect figure but I do have a few upgrades made by them. The upgrade plastic feels a bit cheap and flimsy (Computron head and chest) so I really hope the figures they make are better quality. Really looking forward to this figure.

    I'd love to see someone try to use PC-16 for the CW Ultra Magnus figure just to see if it goes well at all.

    Will there be a white repaint (of the new cab) for Ultra Magnus?

    We don't know yet but I hope so. It'd be an obvious way to give the people who want Ultra Magnus to have a transforming cab what they want so I would be shocked if they didn't at least consider it.

    If the Prime version sells well, and based on the color changes and re-releases of virtually everything in the CW upgrade line, including re-issuing their Warden cannon for TR Fortress Maximus, it's almost certainly a given.

    I mean, seriously, it's like HasTak, why on earth would they pass up the opportunity to turn a profit on something already successfully engineered and basically paid for with the sales from Master Jinrai Prime? Just color it white with some blue and silver, throw it in a box and, BOOM, free money.

    if they did one a white one for magnus i think they'd have to include a new chest piece for the super mode. i'm not sure the stock one would fit right since the truck cabs would be vastly different

    Considering the chest piece just sits in front of the cab it would all depend on how far pc-16 sticks out

    exactly...if it sticks out to far or too far back it'll need a new chest. the way it's cut and how it sits i doubt it'll work. i'd think it would just need a whole new part. something that fits flush against it.

    Do you really think PE wouldn't account for an entirely new chest plate for an Ultra Magnus version release? Because they wouldn't KNOW that if they did a Magnus version they would almost CERTAINLY BE REQUIRED to include a Magnus version chest plate that was NOT a Powermaster cradle?!

    Come on...Every company producing this 3rd party and official Transformers stuff KNOWS that if it doesn't resemble the G1 character's aesthetic design, the fans will be pissed and probably not buy it...well, everyone except Hasbro, but for the most part even THEY realize that, and redesigned the PMOP chest accordingly. I seriously doubt that PE hasn't ALREADY designed a second alternate chest plate for the Ultra Magnus version to be released...and of course, they KNOW that if the Master Jinrai Prime cab sits further out than the original truck component in PMOP, they would HAVE to include a new chest plate to accommodate that or they won't have the sales.

    I think that should be some common sense stuff, especially given how these companies work. They're not stupid people by any means. All this speculative worry over something I'm SURE they've already dealt with since BEFORE these images were even released...like MONTHS AGO.

    I'm also sure that they'll re-release the PC-15 kit with a retooled ULTRA Magnus LED head, thigh fillers, but I'm hoping they'll swap in a nice, white Magnus rifle or something to replace Jinrai, and NOT just give us a Minimus Dumb@$$ figure repainted from Jinrai...although they probably will...and with that said, here's hoping PE does a PMOP cannon/twin guns set for PMOP and a white rifle/twin shoulder missile/hammer combo set derivative for Ultra Magnus.

    While I agree with your sentiment, pc-15 wouldn't be rereleased for ultra magnus, ultra magnus would not only need a different led head but also different thigh fillers, ginrai has gaps on the sides of the legs, magnus has gaps on the backs of his legs
