    Posted this in the TE-01B thread:

    As I said over there, I had heard that TE-01's transformation was crazy, but I didn't realize it was that crazy! But yeah, its interesting they actually did go the extra mile to pain the forearm arrows and shins in the Nemesis version when they didn't bother on the original.

    Anyways, as others have said, I think the beefier proportions of MS-01 match Nemesis Prime more. Plus, I like MS' axe hand design better. But TE-01 has a light up rifle and can actually use trailers:

    No just lil old's me, Skywarp-2. I'm a long timer, used to be on another TF board for years. But what drew me to the TFW2005 crowd was Tony Bacula, 3rd party was more covered, and of course my fellow TF fans.

    Honestly I couldn’t bring myself to try dealing with eBay sellers from China for KO/3rd Party figures anymore. Too many people have been burned and they can always go from good to sour in a snap.

    Preorder with Terry and his site and send him a message via Facebook messenger. He usually reply’s within 24hrs and can give you specific dates things will be available.

    I see they painted around the windows silver. The original prototype had it too but they did not make it to the final production of TE-01. Fortunately!

    And here's a comparison of MS-01B, TE-01B and TFM and FT Motormasters' truck modes:
