    Have to admit blastoff looks great despite not being coloured.

    And Primal! Damn that is some impressive paint work! The one little niggle I have with this guy is his robot head looks a bit...big but other than that he is 99% perfect :D

    Man, I'm not a Masterpiece guy, but this Primal is absolutely amazing. While I'll be sticking with my deluxe version for my Prime collection, anyone who gets this should hopefully be pleased thoroughly.

    That fur.. wow, just really, really amazing. I didn't know what I needed, but Takara did, and they nailed it. This is what Masterpiece is all about, these magical details that transcend any other toy before it. I can't wait to see where Takara goes from here. This is such an astounding piece of craftsmanship.

    That image of the maximals really leaves me wondering that these will be MP BW figures. C'mon Takara love to make multiple figures with the same mold, Cheetor and Tigatron need I say more...

    Edit: I didn't notice that Megs in in the background.

    Wow, that fur is the perfect middle ground between a flat texture and fur texture, much like the actual show model using a texture over a mooth model.

    My only gripe is that the feet/waist/chest are too dark and too blue compared to the show but it's a hand-painted prototype and... damn, it looks fantastic.

    I might have to snag two of these guys. I'm not completely sold on this piece being "perfect", but minor gripes aside, this sculpt is awesome.

    DAMN, that robot mode is glorious. It even looks like it has the same texture as the CGI model.

    He clearly just hates "Beat Wars." So he's mud-slinging because just saying "I'm not into this" isn't good enough.

    Well. You know my plan with Masterpiece was always to stick to the cast from the initial episodes of Season 1.

    Guess that includes G1 AND Beast Wars. I am SO pumped for this guy.
