    This extends to TF toys in general, but I find it oddly annoying that Hasbro hasn’t made a database for the lengths and heights of all their toys. Maybe they don’t care, but it would be very helpful to people who need size comparisons with figures they don’t own and assemble (dare I say) scale accurate collections.

    Great primes.

    But why not the Wei Jiang Evasion Mode prime?

    He's pretty short by comparison, he's the same size as the AoE leaders. I can take a picture of them standing straight and next to each other if you want.

    Thanks.

    I had a copy, 2 actually, of the Wei Jiang M-01 Commander / OS KO Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, but eventually sold them off shortly after procuring them. I felt that it was too big and cumbersome to be very fun, the molded details (specifically the head) seemed off, and I found myself getting far more enjoyment out of the official voyager.
    I did repaint one to a more movie accurate deco, but was still disappointed in the figure.
    Minor/Repaint: - M0-1 Commander Rusty Version repaint.

    I find Takara's release of Legendary Optimus Prime to be far more satisfying than M-01 Commander, hands down.

    I hope Legendary Prime gets a numbered Studio Series release in AOE accurate distressed paint. I'd pay GOOD money for that.

    Actually the more I think about it the more I suspect it. SS needs at least one Leader Class Optimus Prime.

    Meanwhile, Ironhide is the star of my Instagram, although black plastic is touchy to photograph.

    I think you need to tab in the doors to his shoulders and chest into his neck/ head area since he looks mistransformed.
    Anyways here's another edit I made for Ironhide.
    Cannot wait to get another figure out soon but I'm having a camp so won't be online for a few days.

    Picked up Studio Series Dropkick from the post office earlier on today. He’s um, a bit lackluster in my opinion

    He’s got lots of panels and fiddly pieces. I do hope we get a muscle car version further on down the line that’s a bit better

    I don't think you do. In addition to the neck tab and the door panels in the rear, there are slots around the collar area where the hood section tabs in. You will easily know the difference when you've done it. At the moment the hood on your Ironhide is just sort of hovering and doesn't look properly sunken it.

    Yeah, those hood pieces will tab in at more of an angle, tilted in towards his head. There's a tab under each hood section that plugs into a port near his collar.

    Also, tempted to get LT-02 off of eBay today with the sale. I already have the Takara MPM-04, which I enjoy, aside from his hood not plugging in great in vehicle mode. Talk me in or out of this decision please.


    Also, TFSource has MPM Barricade and Takara Prime for sale for Black Friday at really decent prices, if you're into buying official.
