Also, I want to warn you guys to take the head off when you transform him to truck mode. I left the S2 head on and now there’s a paint chip right on the middle of the mouthplate =(

Anyone here have an extra S2 head they’d be willing to part with?

 

My entire Transformers collection. Guess that makes me an oddball around here!

I'm really happy with both of these. I especially like the trailer and the mini-figures. The play features of the trailer bring back a lot of childhood memories and it is even better now that there are finally little people for all the seats. I also like that they retained Megatron's cannon gimmick. That was one of the few things I liked about the original.

My Prime is fine except for the messed up chrome on the abs. It is a bit aggravating, but nothing compared to what a lot of people are getting and not worth the hassle of an exchange.

 

Jeez man, that chrome’s pretty bad.

 

Man, that chrome is not nice looking. Really sorry to see that. :/

So prime and Megatron needed more dynamic poses to compliment each other.

 

A few days with An item in "preparation" limbo is nothing.
Try not grashing your teeth when, more than a month after release, your soc Golion reissue copy is still in "payment ok" hell ... because it's where i Am at the moment ...

 

So does anyone happen to have a stock red close to what Takara made? -_-

 

@BrutiKing has been doing some color matching guides.

Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-44 Convoy/Optimus Prime Ver. 3

 

Ugh

 

Mondays, am I right?

 

431kg! Is he all die cast?

 

add/edit:

now with properly inner-knee panel fold.

and laser sword...



 

 

Hope this helps it's in oz.

 

Just got Prime transformed to robot mode a short while ago. He looks great except that one of the antennas on his head was bent. This didn’t occur during the transformation or anything, it was already like that, underneath the cellophane. I saw the other day where someone else on here had had the same issue with their’s. I was wondering if anyone on here had had any luck shaping it back, using heat or some other method?

 

Theres been done recommendations of using a hair dryer or steam. Im sure someone who's done it will chime in, just dont do like @oku 

 

One of the antennas on the regular head was glued slightly rotated forward, making it look shorter. Damn it. I’m hoping a 3rd party will make replacement heads with better antennas.

Also, left knee ratchet was broken straight out of the box.

 

Could you kindly link me to that color matching one

 

Thanks!

 

The link in question was the guide so far, but I'll repost what @BrutiKing already posted.

Colour matching thus far:
Red: Mr. Hobby Red (3) x1

Yellow: Mr. Hobby Orange Yellow (58) x1, Mr. Hobby Red (3) x1/32(really little bit)

All credit goes to @BrutiKing

EDIT When using an airbrush, you should dilute using a 2:1 thinner-to-paint ratio and spray on 2-3 even coats. Please note this is lacquer paint and should not be used to hand paint!

If @BrutiKing has different advice I would listen, but this was a posted warning on a site that sells the paint.
