    OK so the real pics are on our digital camera with a proper long-exposure setting, but for now please accept my shorty iPhone version of Optimus with the northern lights in Iceland! More pics to come, especially since we’ll be here til Friday. Enjoy a bonus Starscream tasting the rainbow :)

    Got my hands on MPM Jazz this afternoon. I've only been fiddling with him for maybe 20 minutes tops, but he is the absolute business! So glad I didn't pass up on him. Plus, I basically got him for free thanks to some store credit I'd accumulated with my LCS!

    I've been on-and-off about getting Optimus, Ironhide, and Megatron for so long that I probably won't at this stage. Cost and space wouldn't really allow for it long term, and I'm not too keen on how Optimus and Ironhide look overall (I think the ROTF leader and SS voyager look much better, respectively). But man, HasTak are really knocking it out of the park with the three cars they've done so far. I am absolutely game for more car MPMs. Give me Sideswipe, Mirage, Soundwave, Sideways, and Wheeljack pronto!

    I think my only gripe with Jazz is that his arm articulation is a little fiddly, mostly due to how his lower arms come together. But I imagine that's just something that'll take some getting used to. Also, does anyone know if the visor is connected to the inside of the helmet via friction or a pin? I want to pop it out and paint it black at some stage to make it more accurate, but I can't tell, and I don't want to just yank on it and risk breaking the connection completely

    God I want an MPM Wheeljack so bad. He concerns me the most since a lot of people didn't like him. Hes my favorite Bayformer so it saddens me to even think he won't be made, but he has an easy license so at least I have that to hang on to..

    I think if the decision came down to overall popularity of characters I don't think the MPM line would exist at all :lol 

    But yeah, I'd love to see Wheeljack in particular. I love his robot mode and his Mercedes mode. Though I don't expect a MPM version until we've at least gotten a Studio Series version of the character

    Yeah it's just me being paranoid I guess :lol 

    I do believe it comes down to licensing. Hence why we got him instead of Dino in the DOTM toyline. Hopefully we do get Dino in some fashion as well.

    I'm not getting my hopes up too high for Studio Series at NYCC - but I hope Dino is in the next Deluxe Wave, with a new mold. That's my #1 Autobot I'm anticipating, just a kickass design.

    Yeah it seems NYCC is going to be primarily WFC focus. I'm hoping for a reveal of SS48 but that's about it.

    About the WFC, that new Prime's trailer would probably fit SS38 pretty perfectly.

    So for a few months I've been on the fence about getting Studio Series DOTM Megatron. He was on sale on amazon, so I picked him up and today I finally got around to playing around with him. There is an issue that I can't decide if I am too nit picky or if it is a realistic gripe. In DOTM, Megatron only used his shotgun in his left hand. So I planned to give him the shotgun in his left hand. But his left hand won't hold it, only his right.

    I'm really baffled that we're 3 years into this rebooted line and STILL haven't gotten an MPM of Frenzy. This feels like a Unicron situation all over again because of scale and complexity is being used as an excuse to smother a character with no updates when Takara Tomy is notorious for bypassing both elements. Frenzy was a very BIG player in the 2007 film and it drives me nuts that he's getting ignored like this, especially when Megatron was his chance of getting an update.
    Does Barricade need a 2.0 for frenzy to get an MPM or is Hasbro and Takara just trying to ignore him entirely???
