    looks to dumpy for my taste. from the waist up he is just too squat. i dont know if this is because of the power suit gimmick or what.

    I suppose youve seen many real life cars having the hinges on the outside and/or visible....
    And? Unique doesnt equal good. Whats the use of this feature again? Aside from breaking the sculpt? Though to be fair its notexactly breaking, it adds unessential panelling though.

    You've said your piece. You’re not going to change anyone’s mind. Move on from it.

    I'm going to buy the crap out of it! Lol. I have loved almost all of what Newage has put out. Reflector was kinda meh and Cosmos was a tad blaa other than those, the transformations and quality have been top notch (in my opinion).

    Might be the "I just got it on my hands" hype but I love reflector m8. So much character in such super tiny figs!

    I’m digging it as well (and UM) . . . the weird basic smiley face on the back of the head in the pic recalls the new wooden tf thread and I couldn’t resist making the oddball reference.

    Oh I love the tiny figures, just the transformation was a bit pedestrian for my tastes. I love the imaginative transformations they come up with. I'm an engineering guy.

    OP is a big hole in their lineup; so it's good for folks who only collect NA. And it sounds like OP will have a few changes from the inner UM. The opening doors seem unnecessary unless NA is planning some teeny tiny little people to go with their bots? That would be cool.
    Also wondering about the accessories planned for Prime; Megatron and the Seekers came with a decent amount.

    I was loosing hope that NA would do a Prime. And now I get a Prime and an Ultra Magnus! I thought they were just considering Dutch their go to prime. While I liked Dutch when he came out, he had a lot of shortcomings. He did look great with the NA Bumblebee though.

    Something you might not have seen unless you read through the Ultra Magnus announcement translation:

    "H27W The design is different from the normal version of H27. 30% of the parts cannot be shared"

    So, it's fine to use the white version to get a general idea of what their Prime will look like, but I wouldn't waste any time fussing over details and transformation that will likely be different for Prime than it is for Magnus.

    For instance, I'm betting that Primes legs will be much cleaner in truck mode than they are on Magnus where they get obscured by the trailer.

    My wild guess: similar to DX9 OP.

    Might there be a trailer (and other fiddly bits) for this Prime?

    i'm very curious why NA has made such a distinction saying that H27w and H27 having a 30% difference and H27 not being compatible with the UM suit.

    i'm wondering and hoping that maybe perhaps H27 will be styled differently than the H27w "MP44"/"dutch" look. perhaps do away with the "faux" cab windows with a more traditional transformation and something that looks more like MS prime upper torso proportions? because otherwise why bother with making two different versions of prime??? that's extra development and production cost for no apparent reason.

    also wondering if those differences will also make the um trailer and prime trailer not compatible for towing in alt modes between the two prime variations. if so, that would be a shame.

    Looking at the Prime part of the figure, that cab is definitely the worst looking alt mode from New Age by a long shot. The bot mode might be the worst looking figure from them, I'm not sure though, the legs on their vans are particularly bad.
