    I have mine coming either today or Friday. I’ve heard nothing but great things, it improved the paint and transformation of the mpm and scales with them all for the most part. If you went too much bigger I think it would look off. I can let you know my thoughts when he arrives if you want. I personally can’t wait.

    I hope the blades on SS Sideswipe are removable from the hands, but oh well if not. What I’m most disappointed in is the fact that the feet use the same engineering as the ROTF deluxe, and don’t tab in to the flaps that well, so any adjustment in posing will push them outward; i was hoping they’d use a design more like sidearm Sideswipe. But whatever, still eager to get it.


    Also @artimus prime , was it you who said the proper floor polish formula that works is #35*3597? I don’t wanna buy it on Amazon and end up with something that doesn’t tighten joints for jack shit like I already did once before. Thanks in advance!

    Yeah that's the right formula number. Right now it goes by Pledge Revive It Original Floor Gloss.

    You are certainly not wrong on that, and I do think the ROTF Sideswipe still looks stunning. However, maybe it’s just me, but I really am not fond of the figure. Maybe it’s because of the rubber parts (the side mirrors on mine rotted away, and the leg “cables” snapped). Megatron and Starscream are still pretty good. The voyager Megatron (MTB version at least), looks like a good stand-in for the 07 Megatron

    Judging by the pictures I have seen from him.. the blades ARE removable.. and he comes with the DOTM Guns to!

    I have had a delivery today.. the Oversized Studio Series Optimus Prime from Black Mamba.. he is soooo close!
    Still just a hair to small trough. he is a goodlooking bot trough.

    Robot mode looks to be perfect if you look at Studio Series Bumblebee, Jazz, Ironhide and HFTD Ratchet.
    [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]
    In Vehicle mode however he is just a little to small to scale right.. He feels more like 1:43 than 1:39 to me.. I will hope we will get a slightly bigger one someday, but with all the primes we already have, it might be a laust cause.

    I am still hoping I will ever be able to make a display like this trough.. I need SS Barry and a bigger Optimus to make it work trough..

    *Edit* Just noticed Ratchet's wheels standing up still sorry about that And also sorry about the messy kitchen.

    Save the missed steaks for the kitchen so there won't be mistakes on the custom Ratchet

    Do not worry about Ratchet, A Designer with both optional boxes OCD and ADHD checked will not likely make mistakes on Ratchet.. he will most likely overdo it where possible and obsess about details only he will notice (and he will have 5 rear shells to display how obsesive he can be)
    [​IMG]

    He actually redid one fully today just for shits and giggles.. (and neglected paying costumers who die to have their bathroom fixed)
    AND he shall now stop reffering to himself as if he were another person.. (it's me...)

    lol
