*Stands up*
My name is Astronut, I am 31 and I just spent $226 on toys*.






*Cyclops and Alternity Ultra Magnus

 

Damn, these pics have almost sold me on this figure now.

And good on you Astronut!  

 

So is he purple or gray?

 

Purple. He won the prototype I think.

 

So good...yet so expensive! Make no mistake, I think it would be worth that price if it's sturdy, but that doesn't make it any less expensive!

 

Hasbro is MR T, and 3rd party toymakers are turning into Rocky Balboa.

 

Transformation video please!  

 

 

For such a big toy, $160 isn't bad. I really like that machine gun hand. Thanks xterry for sharing!

 

Pre-ordered mine at Capturedprey (cheaper than BBTS or TFSource!). Can not be released soon enough. My Annihilator is lonely.

 

With how well these guys are designed, Im really hoping MMC KM-04 is Ultra Magnus with a different trailer than Prime. Something they/monolith designed themselves. Maybe that turns into a boom tender crane car.

But this looks awesome. The KM series is shaping up very nicely.

 

I am actually curious if the orange bits are indicating the use of LED lights!  

Did they already mention this feature? That would be pretty sweet.

 

Thank you for the review!

Money shot:

 

my wallet weeps....hopefully i can snag one at botcon and at least save money on not having to pay shipping on this behemoth

 

God knows I don't WANT to spend $160... but it doesn't seem like a bad deal, the more I see (especially compared to some stuff lately). PLEASE just let the QC be good-

 

amazing work but i can't justify the cost

 

I'll wait for the Hasbro Shockwave.

 

The more I see of this, the more incredible it looks... wow!

MMC will not be making a new mould UM. There is an upgrade kit being planned in partnership with Renderform and Incline designs. It was shown at Cherrybomb but the pics are not dead.

 

As impressive and beautifully engineered this piece of Awesome is, I have a few worries.

Lots of panels like Masterpeice Megatron and there's a lot of hollow areas so i'm worried about long term stability. I love the size alone and to me it's worth the dough for sure.

I'm just worried that if I get it, take it out and try to transform it is all the stuff gonna just fall off or break. this is an adult collectible for sure which means super delicate and kid gloves required.

For the price I really hope it's durable and that the plastic isn't too brittle.

I really need some reasurence.

I'm torn.

 

I diggs it and more then likely I'll buy it, but his short thighs really bug me. They put him dynamic poses to hide this.

Anyone have the original prototype pic of him in the glass case?
