    Anyone have a link to that really good Dropkick hyrbid custom a few months back? Someone did a really good job of combining the heli and car modes and I can't find the original pictures of that

    Pumped for screamer....wonder when he’ll be revealed tho. With everything going on in the world right now maybe Hasbro will randomly share stock photos of him as a reveal instead of doing an event?

    How comes MPM Starscream is listed as a figure more expensive than MPM Megatron? I'm sure Megatron costed less than $181.

    Rearranged my Prime shelf:

    Thanks! I tried again with your tip. Below are my results. Before I was using Arcee's stand they were all just carefully balanced.

    IMG_1613.jpg
    Are you planning on painting your Dropkick?
    As others have said: sleeker jet mode and better articulation. Also proportions that are closer to the movie model (longer legs, broader shoulders). I LOVE the leader starscream figure, and I feel that it's almost the best you can do given the tools they had at the time. I don't think it's a knock to that figure at all to say I think they can do better nowadays. Mostly due to having the CGI files to work from instead of guessing.
    Thanks! I still feel like I'm on the fence about it. I rarely display my ss-44 with the jetpack on (he's usually standing next to the ring or in truck mode hauling his trailer) but I'm much more tempted now. Thanks again for the link.
    Yeah definitely this too!
    Dude. I haven't laughed out loud all day. Thanks!
    Serious question: has there ever been a mainline transformer that achieved this?

    Pretty much all this. I’m very very excited.

    Mindwipe, Terradive, SS Shatter, SS and ROTF voyager Starscream but in different ways, and ROTF Dirge all come pretty close.

    I’m not expecting MPM 2.0 Starscream to be a literal perfect F-22—but then again, Studio Series Blackout turns into almost a perfect Pave Low, so without electronics, it’s not impossible for MPM 2.0 to achieve it either. However as much as I love the Raptor, the robot mode is still more important to me, so as long as that mode is perfect, I’ll accept some minor sacrifices for jet.
    But if they can make both perfect, I’ll take that :lol

    Does anyone’s TLK Voyager (or MB 19) Hound have this problem?

    The holding joint simply snapped and cracked while I was rotating the piece down just like usual. Luckily it does not affect transformation yet.

    Yes but not in the movie line and it's rare to see. Closest movie-wise would be Mindwipe and Terradive.

    I wonder when MPM Starscream will be revealed since upcoming events are likely to be cancelled if that haven't already been.

    Probably just online, or a showroom with no press inside. I don’t care what they do, as long as they take the proper precautions to contain the virus. I just wanna see my dorito boy and preorder him

    Taking out the electronics from the bot himself is definitely gonna be a plus, but reading this I'm already starting to miss his catchphrases. Maybe he can have an mp36 style one in a weapon, or even someone like DNA could make one, and then he could finally say

    Jon Bailey, is that you?

    (Emgo voice) PRIME TIME

    actually I had a Prime shelf too (it's been rearranged since this photo tho)

    Wow, that's really expensive!! I think I'd give up collecting at that point. That or just focus on MPMs.
    I honestly think that you'd probably play around with your DOTM Prime if you got the kit, mostly bcs of how much better it'd make him look.

    I actually preordered one just to buy SS44 later down the road, and have him fully displayed. But you're very welcome though!!
    Can I get in on this??

    Looks like the baby dinos got a new leader.

    I think the main thing is I've had Primes with jetpacks before (leader OP and revoltech OP), but this is my first Prime with an accurate ring-style weapons platform, so I favor that mode. But you're right of course I'd use it more if it looked as good as that kit! The issue is price for me, not because I think the set is over priced, but just because I am prioritizing other things right now.

    Yea, I know what you mean, as I'm doing the same thing. But I think this is one of those things you're gonna regret not getting, further down the road.

    That's why I preordered the kit, even though I don't have SS44. I can always get SS44 later, but the kit itself end up being sold out.
