    It looks... AMAZING! They fixed practically everything!

    The shoulders, the forearms, the door panels, the ab pieces, they even moved down the two gold rings on the wait into the proper positions.

    that extended plastic on the sides of the shoulder would make the side doors on altmode a lot secured and stable.
    it's like an added reinforcement of some sorts when locking the front parts of the truck.

    the problem with MPM-4 is when the parts aren't really lined up well, parts of the doors aren't fully flushed making somewhat collapsing inside where it shouldn't be. And those parts are relying on outside tabs and doesn't have a sort of reinforcement from the inside not only for the doors but helping other parts to be stable as well.

    I hope i'm seeing it right.

    Oh! Something else I noticed is that the blue pieces/waist have also been pushed to the front, so the chest doesn't stick out that far any longer! Very, very subtle but sorely needed improvements. It's most noticeable when you look at the headlights. Speaking of the headlights, they're no longer floating and are to the side of the red ab pieces instead of being attached to the front corners.

    This just keeps getting better and better the more I look at it. The shape of the forearm panels is also perfect. Gah, I want one NOW!

    Ok guys lets leave the 3p Prime discussion in their respective threads in the 3rd Party Forum.

    Has a Hasbro "73" production run been spotted in the wild yet?

    Finally got a chance to transform this thing, I am in utter disbelief that not a SINGLE part of this truck chassis, connects to the upper body ANY WHERE other than the tiny little tabs at the front. What on earth were they thinking?

    No wonder no one can transform this thing, thats a HUGE design flaw.

    Doesn't look like there's any paint aside from the eyes. Looks like a testshot, that seller has posted legit testshots before.

    If the production number starts with 72, it should be good. 71s can very rarely be good but even then I haven’t seen any in the run that have properly aligning smokestacks yet.
