    Yeah. I really like this but the head is a little off. Looks a bit too small and the grey “box” under the neck is also a little distracting. That, combined with the blue chin bugs me a little:

    The wonky chin reminds me a bit of the chin on the JJ01 Commander head:

    Pretty sure I’ll still pick it up though.

    I think the chin thing will look better in green.

    How easy is that shadow fisher head swap to install? Does it hinder transformation?

    I think that's just a PS, not real head swap.

    I definitely need to see a full review but I am having the same reaction.

    Pain in the #$%^ing A$$!

    I did it on my MP-10. The head antenna made it so, keeping them in place as you put it together. :mad: 

    Doesn't hinder TF.

    Nice. Though perhaps some of the more colorful soldiers would compliment the g1 version better. The darker ones will look lovely with the green version though.

    I don't mind that there's a chin-strap, but it's too big proportionately. It swallows too much of his silver faceplate, and kinda makes him look "babyfaced".

    Why's that?

    Pardon me if you know this already, but those little dudes in the picture are just a smidge (like a credit card's thicknes or two) shorter than a Hasbro Titan Master. So I'm guessing not on the MP Tragetmasters?

    I know the vehicle this OP transform into is supposed to be super huge, but I know there are similar vehicles that look quite similar and are smaller, still bigger than a regular truck (MP-10), so assuming that TFC's RT alt-mode is one of those vehicles, it could scale very well with MP Spike or Sparkplug.

    At one point I was making an MP Prime collection, but ran out of room for my main collection and sold off half of my Primes.


    This guy (both colors) was going to go into that now defunct collection, so now I have nowhere to put him.

    This to me just proves it should be owned in the original Joe colors and not the G1's. Those figures just make it that much better, though it would've been nice to have them painted up as Joe characters. I'm not excited about the head sculpt and would take anything else, even if its not OP inspired.

    I wonder how that chinstrap would look if painted silver like the rest of the mouth plate (*hint hint* *nudge nudge* to you digibashers)
