    Hope this turns out a bit better than Athena. Sadly it has the same ball-jointed hips. Can anyone tell from the prototype if it involves the same kind of partsforming?

    However, his visor in the anime is not red, but blue.

    They are definitely getting away from the chunky stylings that they have been doing up until Athena. I like these more traditional proportions they are doing the the HM Jr. figures. Much closer to the other MP stuff in my collection, although I still the their bulky Monsterbots.

    Really hoping they do a Nightbeat. Especially if they do a Marvel Comics deco (they did the Marvel head for Power Baser after all.) Once you've done Siren, it's just a matter of time... right?

    They said on Twitter that it doesn't need to partsform.

    They unofficially confirmed Nightbeat when they showed his color samples on their Facebook page.

    Yes, I hope they keep each series they do consistent in the styling. Keep it MP all the way! Keep it detailed! If Takara Tomy would only complete the G1 characters in the style they started with MP-10, they can do "toon-accurate" Phase 2 all-day. It saps some of my excitement for the MP line not having the option to have more paint, mould detail, and chrome. :thumbdown

    That's probably why I've avoided FB previous 3P scaled items until Athena and Goshooter.

    I dunno, I kinda feel like most of the bulkiness applies only to their Super Ginrai and their Monsterbots. It sort of applies to Overlord, but he's a big bulky bot to begin with, so it doesn't really stand out. I definitely don't consider their Godbomber to be notably bulky at all. As far as their G2 Optimus, if you take away the gigantic shoulders, there isn't much bulk to him either. Really, their bulk is mostly just limited to Ginrai and the monsters, but looks like it'll apply quite a bit to their upcoming Armada Optimus, though.

    Don't really collect Mp scale stuff but I might need to get siren or goshooter, have always loved FC's and they really nailed the altmode, the working pop-ups is really sells it for me

    Excuse me. In our case, the "toy accurate" itself is no longer quoted!

    Sizewise, Athena is pretty correct. But lookwise...is another story. A lot is right, but for example her legs are completely wrong, if only because Minerva's legs aren't formed from the front of the car but from the back, and both are shaped very differently.
