Heh- I'll do that tonight after work.

I've bought PE's earlier products, and never had any stress marks or anything, it always felt solid to me- so as far as I know, PE's plastic is pretty good.

I would like a Primal Prime- that would be a fantastic partner for him on the shelf.

One thing I would personally like: A swappable Optimal Megatron head, to recreate Megatron using his body in Beast Machines. ^_^

 

so there's 2 different version of Optimal Optimus 3P figs now?

Which one is the superior version?

the arm shields on this version seem to be pretty small.

 

Transarts:downscaled modified ko of the original figure

Perfect effect: this one

 

So quick question:

Can you put his arm shields on his shoulders like in the show?

can the arms shields unfold into a big shield also, like in the show?

 

Yes. ^_^

 

Well, there's 2 so far:

Transart Toys BW-04- basically a scaled down (appears to be deluxe size, possibly a little larger) version of the original toy.
It does have some modifications, making it slightly better than the original toy: The chest cannons can retract, it has a different head sculpt, instead of using blue and brown chrome plating they used blue and brown metallic paint instead, and there's also an add-on kit coming for it, with better, more articulated hands. If you're looking for a smaller, more show-accurate figure: There ya go.

Then there's this one, which I've had for less than 24 hours, and must say: Buy it.....stop asking questions, let all your concerns and curiosities go, just let it in- let it consume you....bathe in it's perfection and join us.

 

Yes. We do have pics on the thread.

 

Here are some pics of the mighty gorilla. Not a professional.

 

As requested... and more. There are a couple of different options of placing the armor on this shoulders.

 

Great shots man.

 

Gawd dam eet! I need this monkey-bot in my life now ...

 

Doooo eeettt......

 

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment.
Now who else remembers this scene from Optimal Situation...

 

While I like the idea of the defensive barriers, they do seem a bit ridiculous when you consider they barely cover his shins.

 

It's for his little comrades... especially a little monkey.

 

So where is the cheapest place to get this guy? TF Source seems to be it with free shipping at $169, but he's currently on a second preorder

 

Recently got mine feom TCP.

 

Yup, he's in stock at TCP with free shipping.

 

Well, free shipping in the Continental US...  

 

Very true.
