    Whole body of work? Didja forget about the time FT backed out ot their MP Soundwave version (Acoustic Wave) when TT released theirs?

    If they were so confident abt that release, they could've just went ahead but no..

    Really bro? I thought we were keeping this in the 3rd Party forum. But you are going to throw FTs first project out there? From 3 plus years ago? Okay great example! Before FTs existed with product they didn't want to compete with Takara, congrats you are awesome at making points pat yourself on the back.

    Well. I'm sold on Laserwave :D  But I'm still keeping QW and my preorder for the clear version. I'm also keeping my preorder for QB. I honestly don't share in any sentiments that say one is better than the other. I think each one has their own merits.

    Well...

    Yeah, exactly this. The extra hands are accessoires which you can use if you feel like it, they have nothing to do with the transformation. You don't have to remove his hands to transform him, they are just options for your display. You want a toy look? Give him the translucent hands. You want him saluting? Give him the saluting hands.

    This has nothing to do with partsforming. Ultra Magnus also has extra hands, you don't need to take his hands off for transformation either.

    Can we please keep this civil? It was bad enough when the 3P people started trashing this and official fans trashed QW/QB in return. Let's talk about how amazing this toy looks.

    And it looks better than Quake Wave.

    WHOOPS YOU NEVER HEARD THAT LAST ONE

    I don't mind the light piping. I doubt I'll ever have this guy displayed backwards. Love the stand/cartoon accurate backpack piece. In bot mode I'll probably always have it on. I hope swap-able faces and hands continues to be a part of this line!

    MP Shockwave is undeniably awesome looking I thought the legs were too thin but the purple color made everything great for me. I love both.

    The only part that part forms is the optional stand/ backpack cover. The barrel is integrated into transformation.

    The display stand thing is something I'd love to see in a (theoretical) Megs 2.0.

    huh, I assumed that was optional for stability reasons

    errrr what about another LED? not like you can't fit one and a watch battery into that head.

    Honestly I'd rather have that than a light up gun hand or alt barrel. I might use that gimmick every once in a while, but having the yellow stare of one eye glowing all day and all night? I'd never turn it off!!!

    and gonna say it again, that 4 inch long armature to place the muzzle in place at the end of the arms better be die cast, cuz that's way too long and unsupported for just plastic, eventually some of us will break it.

    Also, I would trade 3 sets of extra hands for 1 3P MP style articulated hand. TT needs to up their game for their larger MP hands. You wanna give me display options TT? give me THAT.

    can we all agree to ignore people who scream that FT or TT has gotten everything right and the other company has gotten everything wrong? I don't think these people are trolling, but when the extreme members for the other side chime in against them (often derisively) it really does feel like feeding time at the troll tank.

    let's just discuss the our preferences/dislikes for each toy without claiming the other side is stupid/crazy

    Attention...The following is a test of the extent of just how far an opinion can be stretched and presented as a fact...this is only a test...

    Except TT prices are much lower than 3P prices when you order from the source Countries. Can't blame TT for the prices from resellers.

    Except...all you stated is an opinion, nothing more.

    Indeed, Takara is awesome! And other than that is there a point you're trying to make that isn't based on your heavily biased opinion?

    What the holy hell is with that pastel lilac color!!??

    OK, I'm sorry, I've read here that you guys have been going over this and going over this, digibashing, posting screencaps and the whole 9, but hey, seriously, what the holy hell. Seeing that pic of him next to Screamer and Soundwave, that is one ugly sumbitch.
    It's just the color. I love the sculpt, I love that the forearms can flip over (I actually like the hose on top), heck, I like the little feet, but that color. Great 3-toed sloth of the ice planet Hoth, that color is ugly as sin and not anywhere near his cartoon, comic or toy colors.
    But I friggen love it otherwise, so I'll just hope that once it's in hand, and this is a long long time from now, the color is more red and more dark or else I'm gonna haveta total repaint this guy and I don't wanna.

    Agreed. All of the extra details make me really look forward to MP Shockwave.

    On the other hand, I also really like my Quakewave. The only logical solution is to have Quakewave be part of Shockwave's cloning projects and display them both! Quakewave will finally use his own name in my little world.

    Ironhide looks horrendous. I will buy it because I collect MPs but it neither looks like the Toy or Cartoon, whatever you say the head looks like shit. Sorry bro.

    this is the internet, where opinions are facts and facts don't exist.

    how dare you try to argue opinion vs fact on a top devoted to a toy of an imaginary alien space robot with poor depth perception.
