    I have to disagree with this one. BB has a gigantic mess of a backpack and lousy arms.

    Despite the more complex transformation, SS beats BB in almost every way possible. Sure, the old SS had that weird chest and bad paintjob, but this new one fixes both those problems AND is miles more posable than BB could ever hope to be.

    MPM and ROTF Leader are still winners for sure.

    Oh, I'm hyped; Jetfire Optimus was one of the things I wanted most. Studio Series has honestly fufilled most of my wants so far

    -New, more accurate Blackout
    -New, more accurate Ironhide
    -Some form of Jetfire Optimus

    And while it's not a new mold, there's a more accurate Drift. All I'd really like is a Mirage/Dino, which is already rumored/sorta confirmed from a listing, and maybe a new version of 07 Megatron.

    + It seems this Prime won't come with the blades, so you'd need both toys to assemble the one they should have released from the start. :rolleyes:

    I'm not holding the mainline to MP standards, I'm holding the mainline to my standards. Sometimes mainline figures meet my standards, but most of the time they don't.

    If they were non-transformable action figures, I'd agree with you. But the reality of the situation is that Transformers are more than just that. Yes, BB Prime has poorer proportions and articulation, BUT it doesn't cheat. The ankle wheels ARE the front wheels. The chest windows ARE the truck windows. For me, there is value in the process of getting from point A to B. There really is no point to having a figure that looks good if it's going to be a mess of cheating. And SS Prime doesn't look that good. Simply put, if proportions and articulation were all that mattered, the DMK or Revoltech figures would be THE figures to get.

    Lest we forget the ton of accessories and gimmicks that BB Prime has as well.

    Blackout was the best in that game, I was triggered when Starscream killed him in one shot.

    At least we got two great blades:( 

    Both are great figures, the difference between them is just like that between MP10 and the new mp prime,
    which to choose depends on what you focus, real components or proportions

    Rofl and even MP's didn't care. Does everyone forget the fake MP-1 grill? The very first figure in the whole line, and even the first in the MP-10 reboot series MP-10 itself has a fake grill.

    It also helps that it’s based on one of the worst movies ever made, so people who are more casual probably would be in it if it looks cool. Also the fact that BB would require searching for it online probably is a possible deal breaker.

    ...Aside from the smokestacks it looks almost exactly the same.

    Not... really? For god's sake, are we just realizing that re-decos and retools are a thing? This isn't new, people.

    Well I'm not saying it's impossible, but could be an obstacle and why we've not seen figures with their actual car modes yet. Of course they could always make unlicensed, modified versions like TLK Barricade.
