    He's the same size as MP10, maybe a hair taller, so He fits well with a MP collection IMHO

    How did you get the insignia sticker to lay flat on an irregular surface?

    It is actually contoured to the surface, I just warmed it up with a hairdryer and worked it into place so it's not really distorted at all. It's a little hard to explain. Kinda like wrapping something with vinyl wrap.

    TFC’s Ironwill is a pretty solid fit.

    And the Jinbao OS Warbotron Combaticons make for great baddies.

    Got my OP EX today after hesitating a while, but no regrets! One shoulder's a bit loose, but can easily be fixed. 20180910_153130.jpg

    Added i little something in the chest windows.

    Did you do it for stylistic purposes or is your chest very mistransformed?

    It's an out-of-the-box pic. Didn't try to transform anything yet. Just thought the glasses needed more "punch" lol.

    I simply tightened my screws. Near perfect figure IMO. I would buy there bomber Megatron as a companion for sure (if you haven't already).

    LOL go ahead. Like i said, i took him out of the box like this. If you're talking about the blue flaps on his back, i think i prefer them like that :p

    Fair enough.

    The blue plates on his feet fold back to cover his shins. Also the panel at the center of the chest folds down, which both gives you a new spot for an insignia and let’s the window bewbs fold slightly further in.

    Thank you @Cynicron for bringing up the mistransformation so I didn't have to.

    I have owned him for over a year and transformed him back and forth numerous times and I had no idea about that. Wow, I feel like a dummy.

    :D 

    Took my around six months of owning it before I found out about it myself.

    We can all feel like dummies.

    Anyone have recommendations for articulated hands that fit on him? I put on the KFC ones designed for MP-10, which actually fit on bot mode pretty well, but they're too big to fold in for transformation.

    Although, if I'm being honest with myself, I don't transform any of my Optimuses (Optimi?) very often.

    So I finally have this one and the GC Prime.
    I can finally see every difference first hand. In a perfect world, buy both. They are both pretty killer. They each have merit on almost all categories.. In a shootout.. The GenToy one rates a lot higher.

    Simply the better fig imo. There are pros and cons to each and to be truthful, I love them both. Just GenToy Prime is the better all round choice to buy if I was recommending..
