    I missed out on the first two MPMs. Any idea when we should expect PO's to be open by the major retailers?

    I still can't understand why his wings can't rotate properly into place… It's not like they don't know how it looks… So close, yet so far… Still praying it's a mistransformation.

    The first two MPMs were just repaints. This one is a brand new mold.

    They're articulated, not to worry.

    This man knows his priorities! (^o^) He was what I was hoping to see most and sadly, it looks like that won't be happening for awhile...

    Yeah, I understand. I'm wondering when we should expect PO's to be open for MPM-3.

    The backpack looks amazing. In that there is no backpack.

    Those wings can't rotate, can they? At this point, it's pretty much best to give up, huh? (>.<) Seriously, it's these kinds of decisions that make me want to go up to the designers, grab them by the collar, shake them and yell, "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?". Seriously, all they had to do was to replace that screw with a ball joint. Or another swivel joint. Anything!

    Though, I suppose some third party company will fix that issue eventually. (^.^')

    Hope I'm wrong, but based off the picture above I think he's going to be closer to leader BB size than HA size. (I'm assuming based off another image the Megatron is about the size of AOE leader Prime) I put my HA Jazz next to leader Prime and his head comes in below Prime's shoulder and HA Jazz is one of the biggest HA.

    Of course there may be perspective issues here, but they look reasonably close together (and BB looks more squated than Megs).

    We'll see. I'm also very concerned that if BB is that big MP Prime won't be to scale at all just because of how big he'd have to be.

    I also can't help but feel they could have done a slightly better job with his head/battle mask if he's actually that big. Not positive we've seen it properly situated from the images we've seen- but it looks a little like an awkward compromise in almost all the images we have seen. I know battle ops (MMP) BB wasn't totally screen accurate, but it came as close as this and looked better. :( 

    Pretty sure I'm getting him, but this would have been way more appealing at MP size or HA size.

    Don't worry! He was already confirmed to be MP scaled.

    Also, this picture shows he's close to voyager size, making him smaller than HA.

    Encouraging. Do you recall who/where they confirmed?

    I believe it was stated by attendees of the Hong Kong event last month where the figure was first revealed.

    2 questions:
    - Do we know who Saturn is yet?
    - Was the optimus in the movies a licensed vehicle?

    How does that compare to the MP carbots?

    I just watched the video from wonderfest in the other thread. There is no way I'm not getting him. It's too nice a BB not to include in my now massive BB collection, but that head gag is really bad. I have several custom BB's based off the battle blades mold that are nicer. Those are the spots he'd need to bump for good display space and with that head i don't think he can do it. :( 

    The most basic of my customs is the battle blades gold repaint from AOE. I also painted all the yellow plastic areas gold to match and added striping to the shoulders. He already pretty much passes for an MP and often hangs out w/the MP carbots.

    He is impressive, but I think they could have done better- or at leastused swapable parts/heads, etc. This Bee really should be the definitive one and I don't think he can be with that head.

    I suppose I might even try to attach a battle baldes or leader bee head on it if it seems possible and his head size is close enough to one or the other. Or I may just learn to live with it.
