dope man, you going to leave it sealed or open it up?  

 

I haven't decided yet! I really love how it looks all together in the package (funny considering out MISB discussion!) but now that I didn't have to pay for him I really do wanna crack open the siege soundwave and the botbots especially. Funny cause this is my THIRD SS38 Optimus (sold one as a custom and kept one to paint and customize). I feel honored.

 

Congrats!   

 

Makes perfect sense now

It hurts quite a bit to see young children's Transformer graveyards. ^^ A little shard of dark Energon and you could imagine them rising as Megatons Zombie army :'(

 

Damn, too small, thanks though.

 

unless you dont already own something in there, I would leave it in tact. it makes for a nice display piece having that stuff in there like that. anything i leave in a box, i place it at the back of the shelf, like a backdrop, then sort of build around it. get something else branded as 35th anniversary to go with it. maybe pair it with the upcoming 35th anniversary siege stuff.. just thinking out loud that's all.. either way that is a handsome set.

 

The H2 was GM, which they in particular had a deal with. Maybe Hasbro didn't want to pay another license fee for a vehicle not actually in the film.

 

I'm posting this here too, from the Feedback thread, so more eyes see it:

Ok soooooo....

I'm not here to stir the Hasbro vs Takara debat pot.....buuuuuuuut, the proof is in the puddin', right?

I returned my DISASTER of a Hasbro Longhaul last week, and pulled the trigger on a $45 shipped Amazon.jp Takara Longhaul. Thought, why not? Let's see if there's a difference.

OMG it's night and day difference. lol

Granted, I still had to remove the two hand screws, which allows the sides to compress properly, but as for the rest, IT'S A BRICK! See for yourself.









Also notable, the waist clicks and rotates perfectly. Zero bobble.

So I'm not saying to run out and spend the extra money, but I am saying, there STILL is a difference (for the better) with Takara versions.

Yay working Longhaul! (cheer, applause)

 

Reverse Roles:

P.S: I tried positioning this better lol but I don’t have a stand and megatrons too heavy and just falls off prime haha, but it’s supposed to be a reverse of the movie 1 scene where Optimus rides megatron in his plane mode. I don’t gave the mpm 8 so I couldn’t make the scene with him. Alsoooo that paper towel is Optimus’s cape, he’s Super-Cybertronian

 

Role swap with a twist! Switching out Optimus (from Megatron's face kick scene) with Mudflap, except Mudflap is Johnny Cage's biggest fan.



Megatron, you've been caged!​

Cool concept! Reminds me of this!

 

Congrats! That's a really nice package, enjoy it!

I'm so jealous  

 

That's so cool!
For me that counts as something that's cooler to keep MISB  

 

While Mindwipe has always been skilled at wiping minds, he's also notorious for leaving Skids marks...   

 

It's no Pogo Stick, but it's the next best thing.

 

This is a well done pun... It hurt to type this.

 

   Thanks!!!

 

I feel like I'm losing sleep at night. Jazz is slated to arrive this Monday, and I can't wait for him!!!

You lucky duck! Congrats on the package! I do agree with others on here that that'll probably look dope if you keep it as MISB. Maybe hang it up like a trophy? I think it'll look awesome if you do something like that!  

 

Where's everyone getting MP Jazz from? I thought he was out yet?

 

Jazz is now at retail in Canada FYI
