    He's actually a bit taller than MP-10. And that makes him taller than both soundwave and starscream. Even if he should be a smidge taller, that difference is much less than the difference between this guy and most CHUGs.

    As someone who frequently struggles with the TFW search engine, I can understand having difficulty. It seems that if you add a word that isn't in the title, it won't yield good results, nor will shortening a word in the title. Other times it seems to work fine. I can't find any rhyme or reason why sometimes I'm able to find exactly what I'm looking for while other times I get bombarded with 20 threads that aren't remotely what I'm looking for. It's probably something I'm doing wrong, but I share dmarsee's frustrations.

    I agree it seems odd to think someone didn't think there was already a thread for this guy, though. Maybe OP just wanted some feedback and not have to sift through a lengthy thread that includes a bunch of other stuff.

    He’s not just tall, he’s bulky. Bulkier than their Prime which is IDW design with G1 proportions. He’ll dwarf CHUGs

    I purchased Op Ex from the above seller, we'll see if they deliver. I probably should have waited as ShowZ has them both for $110.

    How long do they take to ship? Had a buddy asking about them.

    I've ordered from Show Z a decent amount. In my experience they're very fast. I've never been unhappy with the service.

    Hmm. It varies. I received my THF Dynastron 3 days after I ordered. Other figures, I've waited ~2 weeks. What I can say for sure, however, is that they're reliable. As in, the figure has always reached me in mint condition, and they have a ~24 hour average response time to emails.

    I ordered mine during Black Friday, got it in a few days before X-mas. That was to be expected since the holidays always bog down the shipping lanes. Keep in mind, Chinese new year is coming up soon, so expect at least a couple of weeks of delivery time on top of whatever method you choose.

    That said, bomber megs is a beaut! Talk about having a presence, he dominates that shelf, even more on the included stand. Really happy with it, good posability, nice tight joints, complex transformation, easily one of my favorite pieces from 2017.

    Finally got around to getting one of these guys, so I decided to go through with a hand transplant. First I had to design an adapter, but fortunately it was simple enough that I could whip one up and print it through Shapeways. Then I had to wait for the slow boat to get here from China with the KFC Soundblaster hands. I went with those rather than the easier-to-get MP-10Bs because the Soundwave hands had better clearance. Transformation is not affected at all and now Tyrant can gesticulate properly.

    Guh, still on the fence about this... If only some company made an upgrade kit to elongate the stumpy rail cannon.

    Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but...does this guy not have landing gear?

    Considering how AMAZING all of Generation Toy's products are, it seems baffling that they'd omit landing gear for Megatron.

    They probably figured they didn't need it since he has the flight stand.
