    Yep I did, I pretty much figured out already how to transform the guy, and I plan to keep him in bot mode most of the time, no biggie, thanks for the offer though :)

    Random question for someone who has MP-10... how does he hold his gun? And can he hold Rodimus' Targetmaster?

    Just got my Hasbro Op. Very solid and the colors works well with him. In addition, he feels more solid than my TT version.

    I saw TCracker posted in this review thread and came here fully prepared to be blown away by even more awesome photos... Son, I am disappoint.

    (OP: Not to discredit your review and photos of course (very nice job!), but this is TCracker we're talkin' about so I hope you know what I mean. :)

    None taken :)  I look forward to seeing the pics our expert photogs here at TFW will put up once they get theirs. I'm standing by the Super Cleah thread in the meantime :D

    Huh huh....never thought that people are appreciative of my pics. Thanks a million. :D 


    Frankly I like your photography, it's clear and very pleasing on the eye.

    I got my Op after redeeming my TRU cash vouchers, which totally to around 54 bucks. Paid only for the difference. Before you go ahead and scream it is a steal, the price of MP Op in our local TRU here is USD195. Just to let you know. :) 
    Anyways, I am in the office at the moment, so here is some half-assed iPhone pics. More tonight as I get back and have access to my proper point and shoot camera..

    Thanks! Much appreciated, considering all of them were taken on an iPhone :lol  I'm leaning towards getting a better camera and a lightbox soon, but my money seems to be going towards more toys instead :lol 

    It's great seeing other people's photos of MP Prime, the cartoon colors really come out nicely!

    it seems like all the pictures in this thread don't use flash, so the blue actually looks darker than the earlier pictures where they did use flash and make it look way lighter and cheap.

    hrm... considering i have the takara mp-10 and walmart starscream and held off getting mp-11 due to the shotty ankles, i could potentially sell my mp-10 and trade up for the hasbro mp-10 and thundercracker and not have to spend an extra dollar. thoughts?

    Potentially yes, but you'd better do it fast, because when Hasbro's MP Prime is widely available, it might be harder to find a taker for a toy that's more than double the price of one that's currently in stores (especially when a lot of people have voiced their preference for Hasbro's more screen accurate colors) :p

    On an impulse buy I got the TT version because I preferred the darker colours... from what I can tell the TT one is more true to the original toy colours and hasbro more to the cartoon colours.

    I also seem to recall roller was blue in the cartoons (which is what the hasbro version has)

    Has articulated fingers plus there is a tab that pegs in to secure his gun to a notch inside the fist. He can hold the Targermaster loosely but the peg is a slightly different size so it can't really peg into his fist.

    Here're a couple of comparison pictures so you can decide for yourself. The MP10 is more accurate to the original toy colors, while Hasbro is more cartoon accurate.

    You're both right :)  Diff colors in diff episodes. :p 

    Roller (G1) - Transformers Wiki

    Although Roller was a lighter blue, sort of purplish shade rather than the blue here.

    Not out yet in US and European markets.

    US cost should be $99 USD. Not sure about various Euro pricing which is prolly most relevant to you.

    In Asia, closer to $200 in USD.
