    Better listen to him, Durstatron. Prime doesn't take no Bizkits off of anyone!

    Now that I got that out of the way, awesome shots! You make me want to go out and find him for my collection now.

    I noticed a lot of my older figures that are nearing a decade old are starting to fall apart as well.

    Tightening joints, stress marks, ball joints/ mushroom joints giving up, and etc

    Haven't seen it mentioned here, DNA Design have posted an update on their upcoming Sentinel/Bumblebee/Blackout upgrade kit saying that they've added wrist rotation to the upgraded Blackout hands

    From their Facebook

    2-3 years later and despite numerous paint scratches and tabs breaking due to literal hundreds of transformations, these bad boys still manage to be my two favourite movieverse figures ever. Sophisticated and involved transformations, some pretty great paint work (half painted parts on Prime not withstanding), and the ability to pull off just about any pose I can think of. Still remember tearing up a little when I opened MPM-4 because I finally had something that truly felt like the Optimus Prime I remembered from the films I grew up with.

    Was planning on getting this set for Sentinel's weapons but this is a great revision. Might convince me to actually buy a Blackout now.

    I was wondering about that, really glad they added the wrist articulation. I'll definitely be picking that kit up!
    You got your MPM-4 signed by Peter Cullen? That's Awesome!

    Mark Ryan was at a local convention last year, and I actually got him to sign my MPM-3! He was a really cool guy.

    Speaking of MPMs and upgrade kits, I really have to get my hands on that MPM Ironhide upgrade kit. It looks good in both modes, but my copy is a serious pain in the butt to handle.

    Meeting Peter Cullen was great too! I hope he comes around a convention near you so you get to meet him as well. Probably the first celebrity I’ve met at a convention that actually took the time to talk to the people that he was signing stuff for and/or taking pictures with.

    I’ve never really found the need for the Ironhide upgrade set personally as I find that wedging the parts just right typically negates the floppiness, but that may just be my copy.

    Autobot. The entire point of his character is he's an Autobot gone wrong who thinks he's doing the right thing to the end. "I have deigned to work with you, but I will never work FOR you," he says to Megatron.

    "He did bad things so he's a Decepticon" is a ridiculously simplistic way to look at it that totally misunderstands the character.
