    I also can add, that many small Hasbro TFs are often worse inhand, than on official pictures, while we have tons of third party photos and reviews right before the release (remember Dino).

    I mean it doesn't look terrible, but I would take the unpainted prototype of BMBs before that finished hasbro product. Only figure I've bought from hasbro since CW was the G1 reissue starscream. Actually that's a lie SS Blackout is pretty good but all the other ones I've literally given away to friends with kids. They just don't do anything for me anymore.

    I'm getting SS Swipe for sure, but if the OS KO is decent, I'll get him as a stand in until we (hopefully) get an MPM version.

    one thing you forget, black mamba is a KO company, not 3rd party, means the price won't be that much different from studio series version, especially considering studio series's current price.

    Yep. I need this. As much as I like studio series figures, the carbots have been nothing more than robot turtles and trail hikers.

    Huh? Im confused.
    Wasnt there talks about the MPM line being canceled after the upcoming 3 MPM's? 2 after Ironhide and Bumbkebee for the upcoming movie.

    In favor of the Studio Series.

    Or was that just a rumor that I got wrong?

    That BMB Barricade looks super nice it has a few small improvements and over all is just a really nice colour too with the added purple.
    I just ordered on it's on it's way now.

    I'd likely buy the Sideswipe too.

    I'll be very disapointed if they don't. Shapeways ones might be ok, but they'll be on the small side.

    in the case of this guy, this can be a decisive factor that likely change my decision to get him or not.

    You have absolutely nailed terminology, and you're spot on.

    The only one that isn't is Stinger.
