    We’ve been patient this far for Prime. Whatever patience gives us, I will take and appreciate the help these guys give us

    Absolutely no intention to come across as impatient, just providing a list of questions that I'm curious about for MP-18+. Since pham said he can't post pictures.
    I absolutely don't mind waiting until the beginning of August to find this information out, either.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I like that the test shot is wearing a diaper and looks like a hasbro photographer transformed it.

    @chchchch requested a trace and colour of MP-18+ - here you go!

    bluestreak-compare.jpg

    (The trace is a bit off because I wanted to do the smiley face and there's only one blurry picture of that... I should have done a stoic face, but that doesn't conjure Bluestreak s much for me.)

    And thank you thrice! ;)  This confirms the smiling face is pretty much spot on to me (and definitely the right choice for you to do). It's probably the only one I'll ever display him with anyway, ha.

    It’s a service to the community that you are providing and everybody is grateful for that. However, by writing ‘are you guys ready?’ you are directly creating expectations. You are (obviously) not obliged to the write-up, but a quick ‘guys, I am delayed due to work’ would go a long way. Basic principles of communication also apply in online settings (atleast they should).




    edit: grammar..

    Yes, probably July 26th/27th, though people who ordered from TTMall might get it sooner.

    OK. here i go.
    compare with MP17+ , and dare i say , stark difference.
    car mode , it has lots , lots of paints. Paint cover the whole upper section of the car.
    The unpainted parts can be seen under the car.

    bot mode , a handsome fella
    unpainted parts are hand , forearm , cannon, tire , most of the red parts except the thigh, etc. It's pretty identical to prowl. But here is the biggest difference in paint. MP18+ uses lots more of Matte paint , which make the color pop out way more than the satin coat on MP17+
    The upgraded head and neck is great ! Now with ball joint which increase immensely the amount of dynamic emotion this figure can achieve.
    also the face parts were changed compare to product shots earlier. There is no more the grey part cover upper of the eyes, instead it's molded on the helmet already.
    Now to effect parts , which in my opinion the biggest plus of this package but also misoppurtunities.
    there is total 3 pieces inside the package. And each pieces can be disassembled into 2 : the muzzle flash and connector.
    One connector is to plug into the shoulder cannon. No big deal , work great as intended.
    what puzlle me is the one that fit on to gun.
    this will fit into datsun mold gun easily , and also can fit onto some other MP and 3P figure gun, which one condition : the barrel size must be slightly smaller than the hole so it can fits.
    but there's only 1 such connector in the package , so you still end up with one package still involve only mp-18+ , with one effect part that can work among other figures. A bit shame but at least we have effect part.
