if they've done it for their optimus prime, you'd think they would continue that through out their product line, no?

 

Good thing i poed today at showz.
Now its sold out.
Lucky.

 

it looks like it's been on/off with being sold out the past few days. they seem to keep adding more PO stock as needed so they don't get ahead of themselves.

 

Did they do it for their Optimus Prime? I can't remember they did...

 

They did not

 

Based on FT's odd runs, I feel like this holds a lot of water. I just wondering how its impacting other toy companies while this goes on. There was an odd message from Magic Square about their Megs.

In the end, all I want is a QC free figure.

 

You want a figure with no quality control? I'm pretty sure I can recommend a few companies...lol

 

There is a transformation video on YouTube of TE Mirage for those who haven’t seen it yet.

 

FREAKING LOVE THIS GUY!!!

 

Shit, I'm sold.

My first MP.

 

Oh yeah, really really excited now! He looks amazing!

 

That transformation looks really fun!

 

Yep, I love the transformation. It's very fun and easy fair, with a toon accurate sculpt! fantastic final product.

Yep, when I watched this, all I could think was Damn! and said, out loud mind you, BOUGHT!

I know, super fun, and looks great too. it's complex just enough to feel like a genuine MP without being too much so. Makes it feel more worth the money.

what sold me the Most tho.. Is 8.04 minutes, as an OG G1 fan, that arm fold right there.. NOSTALGIA 10000000% hit a freakin core memory of Jazz and Skids, etc... I'm ordering it soon!! You other OG's know what I'm talking about.. Summer 83-84'

 

Sincerely thank you for sharing!!!

 

Just preordered this with ShowZ.

 

I can't take all the cred bro, @bigBrawn brought it up, I had seen it earlier and just posted it
but it is news for those who haven't seen it yet. Hmmmm.. I wonder if that post makes the boards news section?? that would be cool to see us named in the credits I'd be proud, like winning the lotto by dumb luck. LOL

 

Thanks for attaching video,I’m a little old school and not quite tech savvy enough to have done it quickly.

 

I really like the music in that vid. It's soothing.

Do I say that right?

 

No worries. We are a community. Pseudo family. I'm happy to help my fellow bro and sisses.

This guy is freaking cool! The color looks more toonish then the darker blues. I love the lighter blue and the transformation of the cockpit of the car is freaking smooth. I love how compact and well it looks in Altmode. A very awesome design in total. The small swing panels are going to have to be kept as a memory when transforming it. Just don't want to forget them. Actually, I use YouTube to transform my guys. Slow the vid down, and follow along. Its actually easier then using the instructions and kinda fun.

This vid will be on my list as I transform him. Can't wait to get him. I hope they do Starscream next!! Meteor is way too expensive. Since NO alternatives exist, they have a monopoly. I think Transform Element can do way better with a toon accurate Starscream and Thundercracker and Skywarp. That's what I so need the most. More cons. Good cons. I hate the Hasbro SS I own. I don't want the Meteor because its got flaws I don't like. The hands, and the head to name a few first off.. The knees are 1 dimensional. Just think TE would do so much better.

 

I had been debating on this or the FT version, but with the recent prices and near instant sellout of preorders of FT, I decided to give the TE version a shot and locked in a preorder. Now, after seeing this video, damn am I glad I did. Everything just looks so smooth, clicks together nicely and flows so well. Really happy I’m taking the dive on this guy, looks amazing.
