Oh TT you delicious basterds ...

 

ALL IN!!!

 

Damn. But the floating head thingy is weird though. Magnet maybe?

 

The detachable roof came out of left field, love how his arms transform to kinda look like an engine underneath the hood. Now I need a carbot comparison.

 

Finally! He looks so good! Now put it up for preorder Amazon jp!

 

SWEET CHRISTMAS!

OK, downers out of the way first (and they'll be no surprise to anyone!) - I wish the windows were clear, I wish the vehicle winch and mirrors were chrome and I wish the green was darker. I also hope those fake wheels on the feet can be somehow kept inside.

BUT... And here's the clincher... He looks amazing. Zero problems with the mould itself (apart from those 'wheels') assuming he's not as large as some of the 3rd party efforts in vehicle mode (damn the lack of a comparison) I shall make him mine, despite the WTF price. Of course, he may well only end up being a placeholder until we see a + release.  

 

Thanks @chchchch!


OH damn, Spike with articulated elbows. It's clearly a new bigger one. So damn good!

And who called the key attachment for the hip, was it @BWfan86?

Butterfly shoulders!

 

Well this is a tough one. I don't really care for its looks in robot mode. I like the 3P I have way better. (no, the other one)
But I have Sunstreaker, and it's really is fantastic. It's worth the $100. I am sure this will be a much better toy than the one I have.
I am into this for great toys. I have no nostalgia for these - I just like great toys. But, y'know, I like to enjoy what the thing looks like.
I might have to pick this up to see what the deal really is. Hell, I hated the Ironhide mold because of its looks, but I got Ratchet and it's amazing.
I wonder how the car mode scales with the others.

I want it just for that little Spike.

 

Ah beautiful! I didn't think I could be any more impressed with this thing...face sculpt looks perfect IMHO!

 

This looks great, I only wish there was some chrome weapon options!

トランスフォーマーマスターピースシリーズにオートボット偵察員「MP-47 ハウンド」が仲間入り!!

 

@chchchch and @Sam , you guys are ANGELS!

This guy looks like a real labor of love!

 

"Beep beep, who got da keys to the Jeep?" GORGEOUS.

This pose! I mean, I was sold regardless, because it's Hound, but.... DAMN. <3

 

Damn....closer and closer to the GI Joe crossover I've been wanting to see in a toyline since the 80's....maybe I'll repaint Spike as Flint. More articulated humans please! Wonder if Spike is the same size as a Dianaught?

HNNNGGGGGGGG triple homage MP47+ toy/Diaclone color Hound with Dianaught and Spike as Duke from Gi Joe or something please!

 

Pretty neat.

 

One more

 

FUCK.

 

I wasn\'t going to get him day one but my wallet just latched to the screen

 

The minifigs from MP-44 are already bigger than Dianauts, this one's even bigger than them!
