    Well, yeah, I wasn't tryingto indicate that it would be an exact repaint and re-release of the kit itself, just like Bruticus wasn't the same as Computron wasn't the same as Superion and Menasor wasn't the same as the Optimus kits.

    I was merely expressing a comparative parallel to the potential (and quite likely) Ultra Magnus version of the PC-15 set, of which I did specifically mention a retooled LED Ultra Magnus head, not a cheap repaint of the Prime version LED head. I didn't mention changes to the thigh pieces because I thought it would be understood that like the head, anything else included in said Ultra Magnus kit would obviously be tooled accordingly to be functional, but I appreciate you mentioning that anyway, because in retrospect, I know there are those who actually do need that spelled out for them and it saves me the trouble of having to edit my post.

    I appreciate your commentary, and willingness to clarify things. You keep me from going insane here. ;D

    I understand why it has to be released in June, but at least give us some more promo pictures to look at over the wait.

    Is there a way to make the rear red heel tighter?

    I modified my Primes stock head with a ball joint and combiner war Optimus head. It\'s not pretty but I think it will work for now.

    I still want to be able to use the titan master along with PE's powermaster. Maybe PE or another company can design a new helmet that can be fully integrated into PC-16.

    And while they're at it, make that titan master compatible Roller that I've been waiting for since PMOP was first released.

    I'm really looking forward to this. Btw, why have many of these threads appeared as reset for me? I keep going to threads here that have my icon on the thumbnail (meaning that they have been read by me are some point), but the site takes me to page one instead, not the last read page.

    So I'm not the only one, it keeps doing the same thing to me as well, it's a little annoying.

    I thought your icon showing in the thumbnail meant that you've posted in the thread. There are plenty of threads that I watch that don't have my icon because I haven't posted in them.

    Although I haven't checked every thread I've joined, it seems to "only" occur in the 3P sub-forum...

    I don't mean "watch", I meant viewed or posted in. Both, in the new way the site works, mean the site will take you to the last unread post/page for each specific user. However, for a few of us, it seems to forget that and plop us on page 1...

    Hmm I will have to pay attention to that and see if it's the same for me.

    What might actually be better in regards to using the Titan Master head with the PMOP figure, would be if we could simply have the option of a TM port on the Jinrai/Optimus figure itself, a la Spike & Cerebros, and THEN combine him with the trailer to create the larger PMOP with either the LED head option, from PE's PC-15 set, or the "Marvelous Prime" head option, which is a Marvel Comics G1 style PMOP head. The Marvelous head may have to be removed from the figure each time you go back to base or truck mode because of clearance issues, but I won't know for sure until I get this guy and try it out.

    Either way, that was actually what I thought they were initially referring to, when it was advertised as compatible with the official figures and Titan Masters...until I saw the photos and realized that they weren't referring to the TM aspect, largely because the TM helmet/head won't fit into the designed area for head storage...which meant that it was either going to be strictly TM style or PM style, not both...at least not without some custom modifications, obviously.

    I was really kind of liking the idea of having the option for PMOP to not ONLY be a Powermaster OR a Headmaster (let's just call it what it is, shall we?), but a Headmaster Powermaster Optimus Prime, which would potentially double or triple his power.

    Being able to attach the Titan Master Optimus head to the PE cab figure, as an option, would be great, especially if it didn't have to remove before folding up to combine with the larger frame...for those who might like the option, whether they used it or not. The PE head could plug in exactly the same way to make the swap option super simple and keep head articulation. I may even look into the possibility of making mine work like that anyway, once he's in hand.

    Just my thoughts on the matter...

    I would have bit on PE's Ginrai upgrades if they also offered them combined into one set and lowered the price to $75 (which is not unrealistic for a small voyager and an extra head).

    But no way I'm getting PC-16 if I also have to buy their PC-15 head separately for $35 to get a complete, working set.

    The alternative would have been to engineer PC-16 so it would have worked with the original headmaster.

    Oh well.

    The original headmaster does work on pc 16, you just have to take it off to transform into cab mode, just like g1

    JMO, but if I have to partsform an upgrade piece from one that used to properly transform, it's not enough of an upgrade.
