    Thanks. And the swords are definitely nice. Very hefty diecast and chrome. Figures with weak arm joints may have a problem supporting the weight, though. The paint on this Megatron (no Photoshop here; the fusion cannon's barrel and dark energon effects are all paint) gives him just enough friction to hold it up and (and to hold the sword's handle since the Powerizer's open hand design normally makes holding 5mm pegs all but impossible).

    Nice. I need to open up all of my RiD and AM Jet Vehicons already. XD

    Oh ya, love the mould. Still undecided on Cylas Breakdown but I could live without it cuz the colour is way off.

    I also habe Unicron and Jet Vehicon. The jury is still out on AM Smokescreen or hope for a new mould Smokedcreen.

    If you are collecting Prime you need Breakdown.

    He costs a lot but this is the cheapest he will ever be. I figure once he sells out the retail price now will be the cheapest you will be able to get loose complete for. I bit and it was a great decision.

    Do it Al, it is one of the best Prime figures...and rhino hammer.

    I got TFP AM Soundwave & Airachnid plus AMW 07, 08, 09 over the weekend. I haven't opened any of them because I've been feeling under the weather. :(

    How well do the soft parts hold to paint? I got Dreadwing this weekend and painted up his crotch, sword, and the plates on the backs of his hands, but was really hesitant to try painting any soft pieces.
