    Trust me they’re so worth it. You literally will find yourself spending ages setting them up with different figures. Or well at least that’s what I did for a few hours haha .... :’)

    I want accuracy above all. He looked badass in the first movie with all his aerobatic combat skills, dorito shape or not. I don’t want the leader class with tweaks, but an entirely new figure that blows that leader class away.
    And if they knock it out of the park, then they just printed money because they can do the ROTF tattoo variant too

    I can't wait! I've wanted decent effects pieces for sooo long that didn't cost an arm and a leg or come with micromasters or whatever.
    Me: Bayhem is ridiculous and these movies are bad

    Also Me (reenacting scenes with my toys): SHIT this was so epic and badass in the movie!
    Totally agree here. He was so avian in the movie, and seemed very agile and versatile despite his wide shoulders. That's what I want. Mostly they'll have to tweak the leg length and crotch. Aside from that the leader was decently accurate. And THRUSTERS ON THE BACK PLZ.

    Well, yeah, I also don't want the leader with tweaks, but that's not what I was talking about at all. I want the proportions of it. Personally can't take the movie look seriously with how low the arms were.

    Guys. Shockwave is such an amazing figure. I just got mine and I think he's the best studio Series figure to date.

    Yeah exactly. Longer legs, super thin profile, engines on the back if possible, better articulation, hard ratchets in both hip axes and both knees (maybe even ankles), solid connections and tabs, no QC or design issues.
    I need him. So bad.

    Hopefully they get the F-22 paintwork correct too

    Ih this set and noticed that I can only open this extra hinge half way. I watched Emgo's review to double check, and his just opened all the way. I've tried a few times, but it feels like the piece is going to break. I guess I could take everything apart again to see why, but it was a pain the first time.

    Honestly Emgo was correct when he said this turns a toy into a display piece. I broke one of Jetfire's legs and the new nose pieces after one transformation back and forth. I actually bought another Jetfire because he is my favorite SS.

    Well that was my main point above everything else, I don’t want those proportions because it’s not fully accurate. It was the best they could do at the time, but they can do better now.

    You know with a new head and a few design alterations this can make a pretty good movie Bulkhead.

    Ah, well, unfortunately those inaccurate proportions are the only things that make me tolerate the design. Cool if you guys get what you want, but I'll probably avoid my first MPM in that case.

    Can we get some MPM-4 love? I know it has a weird headsculpt and the vehicle tabbing issues but I almost fixed that and he's so posable and fun and a great size and I really like it still:

    Well lucky you if you want the leader class figure's proportions then you can get the leader class figure :)

    He's by far one of my favorite designs from the movies, so absolutely yes I would. Maybe even a couple for some serious heavy hitting troop builders.

    I have LT-02 and it’s one if my favorite figures. Which it’s basically mpm prime just better paint. It really has a presence on the shelf.

    I suppose, but I want better articulation, stability, details, and no electronics. Things only a new MPM will provide.

    Do we want our mpm flying dorito cool ranch flavor (kinda slouchy and a good indicator of his personality, probably how he stood most of the time in the movies)

    Screenshot_20200407-163830~01.png Screenshot_20200407-163843~01.png

    or nacho cheese flavor (shoulders held high, legs extended, more heroic and slightly less odd)
