    Well there is a spot in the matrix chamber that is painted yellow!

    You are just seeing it through the blue window. And you know how it goes when blue and yellow meet...

    I just can't justify that price for MP44 for myself. I don't really transform them often and if they come in vehicle mode, I may do it once and then back. Sometimes I'll repose them or move them around, but for the most part they stay put once displayed.

    It looks more cool if the face is painted in metallic color.
    Especially the eyes.
    But, the sculpture has not changed ...:gen069:

    Is the third batch of regular prime going to have those articulation improvements Nemesis is going to have?

    That should do it. Not 100% perfect but good enough for me head-wise.

    I’ll experiment with some cel-shaded windows and I like the idea of the inner door looking the part.

    While snapping these pics I’ve definitely noticed more the looseness in his feet/toes and those hip ratchets are annoying.

    I filed along each existing angle, and yeah, straight across the bottom. The plastic is soft so it doesn’t take much. Just go slow and keep checking your progress.

    @TotalMackerel, Looking straight, looking down, and then straight up.

    Just a small bit of bluetack on the top lip keeps it on but would come off if knocked.

    How is the hip better articulated? I don’t get it. Also that faction logo recess being filled looks a bit too much like DIY!

    Amazing!
