    All the furai's pelvic thrust and dare I say "pre-pub" abs and chest make me cringe. I minds me of the old heavy arms custom Prime I made when I was in high school.
    This figure is gorgeous (minus the bike), it even looks like it transforms.

    I really love the poses in the pictures, if I'm being honest

    Right, right; action masters was a thing; I honestly forgot. In that vein, this is pretty great. I like the idea of giving him a ride to compensate his alt's locked out, but I'm not sure a Tron bike works design-wise.

    Cybertronian designs always leaned... chunkier? Granted that was usually things that could become people, but I don't recall seeing sleek and minimalist.

    [Edit] inspired by the one seen, when was that? And why was that? Most of the population...

    Also, why do the guns mount to shoot the ground?

    What a cool display idea! Can I ask how you're finding Pioneer? I've been interested in him, but worried about fragility.

    Thanks!! He is awesome for the display set up I’m going for but yeah, really fragile. Also my favorite interpretation of Optimus so I’m just glad to have something that represents him in this scale. I’m so ready for 3rd party to take on MP prime figures.

    I also love this IDW design of prime and gcreation and generation toys didn’t quite hit the mark for me. So, even though this guy doesn’t transform and he is a bit overpriced with the bike accessories, I’ll bite the bullet because I think he looks spot on.

    I love this design. Always have.
    I think this looks great but I suspect that it\'s going to be out of my price range.

    That sounds, cool -not cringe.
    Got any pictures?

    Here you go dude! Ginrai!
    I found him in a box under my bed in many pieces. I was in the process of making the back cab, paint apps and more hinges. He is only missing one antenna after all those years!
    My first rotary tool was a sears-robuck with a bakelite handle, I would kitbash with it while it periodically shocked me with electricity. The first tool I bought with my own money was a real dremel.

    Looks good to me.
    I've had the desire to do customs but never actually done anything beyond applying a silver sharpie to some Transformers' wheels.

    But will fall apart and break into a million pieces ? Hehe. I'd like to honestly say that this new 3rd party company could prove me wrong though. Trying too hard to copy and rip off Flame Toys..lol.

    Damn, I'd love a Prime on a motorcycle. Too bad this bike looks like a Dyson appliance, I'd almost go for it.

    that display is freakin fantastic! I have pioneer too, and while I agree he's fragile; he also looks so damn nice!

    i'll certainly be getting the MMA prime. IDW design's are freakin fantastic, and op is my fave! cant wait to get him!

    If only they'd gone for the right design to go with the bike from the comic that the bike appeared in - Orion Pax, Supercop. Tsk.
