    Where did you purchase him from? Didn’t even realize he was already released.

    Any way of swing pictures of how the front skirts work, I believe they swivel up and down?
    Thanks in advance. Looks great!

    I've built and painted their Attack Mode Prime and liked it a lot. I'm building Starscream now and I'm liking it even better. His articulation feels a lot tighter so far and his design is a bit more proportional than Prime's. I'll post photos when my post count allows. IDW Prime is next!!

    I received my Flame Toys IDW Optimus and didn't have the patience to wait so I snap built it pretty quick after getting it. Here are a few comparison pics so people can get an idea of the size of it. Larger than an HG but not as big as a MG. That describes the complexity in my opinion as well, higher than an HG but not as detailed parts wise an an MG. I am probably going to purchase a second one as I love this version of Optimus. I haven't applied any of the stickers that came with it and probably wont. I plan to go back and add detailing and paint the eyes a light blue as the dark blue plastic currently used gives him a dead look in my opinion.

    I really hope we see Stealth Bomber Megs as a kit and not just a figure. I want a fitting Megatron to square off against IDW Prime.

    Looks pretty Milne-y to me. Especially the side profile:

    How I wish Hasbro had used this design for the Combiner Wars leader, like they did with MTMTE Magnus. I hope *someone* gives us an awesome transforming figure of this guy eventually. One of the greatest Megatron designs ever.

    MMC did. Unfortunately, they began their project fairly early, so a there are some small inaccuracies (most notably missing those angled fins on the shoulders, some chunks on the sides of his legs, plus the fusion cannons are wrong), and they weren't able to incorporate Milne's actual vehicle mode that he revealed after the fact, instead going for something resembling Super Megatron instead. Still an excellent figure, inaccuracies aside. Especially if all you need is his robot mode on your shelf to hang with your Lost Light crew, he looks fantastic.

    MMC's completely missed the mark for me, and yeah, it might as well not transform. The cannon forming most of the alt mode is just too lazy.

    I want this bot mode for sure, but I still like my transformers to actually transform!

    I dunno. I can accept it, because of Super Megatron. And robot mode still looks killer, minor inaccuracies aside. Biggest thing is that they nailed the facial likeness to Milne's art. I kinda hope that as MMC nears the completion of their DJD team, they can release some sort of "addendum" pack that can give Megatron his accurate cannon, shoulder armour, and leg pods, and maybe even permit a more effective "tank" mode. There are some passable fan modes out there, so if they can add some tabs and slots on the new parts that would lock such a thing together more solidly, I'd be perfectly fine with that. On top of that, they can give Tarn a more accurate head, and maybe his clawed fingers.

    The face is the biggest issue for me because it is a perfect likeness to Milne's art and the character from the book it's from.

    Problem is it's not at all fitting for any kind of dynamic or action poses. The model is far too specific as Autobot mopey Megatron, I can't possibly see it as anything but. I want a figure I can pose dynamically and face off against Optimus who doesn't look like he just remembered his pet hamster died.

    It's too accurate and too specific, and it unfortunately brings the whole model kit down IMO.

    Man, I wish these kits were slightly taller so I could put them with on my IDW shelf.
