    Actually, 200+ pics are relatively natural, no enhancements other than general polish. Only the last 20 or so are "enhanced" because they are meant to be artistic, inspirational. I try to do a little of both in my sets, best case real world and then fancy pants.

    That being said, yes, there is a conspiracy to trick people into buying this and I am part of it. That reminds me, there is a cabal high table meeting in 5 mins...

    Beautiful figure, but I dont need all the extras, just the figure. 250, I would have probably splurged. 450??? Naw, I got both 3rd party version and saved myself 200 dollars and got two awesome Primes in addition to my MP1 and MP10.

    If they come out with an ala carte with just the Prime , I\'ll consider it.

    Ha! No offence the photos are great obviously. I'm just a bit bitter that I can't spend that sort of money on one figure.

    I got this big boy earlier in the week and so far I’m really digging it. There’s seems to be an issue trying to get/stay on the Peter Cullen clips. They either cut off or pulling teeth to get them again after turning him off.

    But what is that other stand he’s on? The one they included the transparent mount to work with. Please tell me it’s not hiding under the floorboards of the trailer? I know that the repair drone doubles as one I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything.

    Literally just ordered mine. Anything I should expect? I know about the knees and paint chipping.

    After observing several reviews I have to admit. This is a fantastic prime. I had my doubts but that robot mode and cab mode is stunning. I do hope they do release just the cab variant as 459 dollars translated into canadian funny money would be 610 dollars plus shipping would probably be 680 dollars. That is restrictive for me. But Ill wait to see...if the US version does this as I assume they may provide that option

    Don't pull directly up when trying to operate his ab crunches. People are pulling directly where the rivet is at instead of pulling the designed tabs for the abcrunch
    My suggestion is to just wait at some point people will part with theirs for what ever reasons;got tired of MPs, or switched it out for a reissue. When I first got into MPs MP-10 was going for 240-300 dollars way more than I wanted to spend at the time. I eventually picked one up for $80, when the Year of the Horse one dropped.

    My review is that It's a mixed bag... Both have their pros and cons. Mp 10 works better with its trailer in truck mode, where mp 44 seems to have developed both separately and then rushed to put them together. Mp 44 is definitely more poseable in robot mode and feels sturdy, but he will unpeg if you play with him. But let's face it, mp 10 can beat up mp 44. Their transformations are actually very similar, but 44 is just too involved and over engineered. The knees are fine, but I can see why they tend to break.

    I'm not really into the complete cartoon aesthetic, I'd have preferred the silver stripe in truck mode with the painted windshield wipers, door handles, etc. I'd like a silver face instead of gray and silver for the midsection and upper thighs instead of the white... I'm open on those yellow parts...

    My gripe on all the mp convoy/Prime figures is their truck modes. The gas tanks have all been off and just unrealistic and no where near that original toy. Mp 44 has pizza cutter back wheels tires and the trailer wheels are just too small... They should be bigger and at least match the back wheels of the cab. As for roller, I prefer mp 10 roller... As I think there's too much silver on the rims.

    The flight stand should have worked, this one is just too weak. It was advertised, on the back of the box, but not the instructions... That's unforgivable considering its price.

    Also, why is the jetpack's compatibility with mp sideswipe not in the instructions?

    Last point .. Did everyone get the pin or was it just happenstance?

    Anyone else think of the G1 Transformers theme song when you see this or is it just me?

    The voice clips will reset to the beginning if you turn off the sound feature. That’s normal.

    The other stand come with MP Dinobot. Hopefully at some point they’ll sell that stand separately.
