    I understand it'd be a sore spot, but I really hope this isn't just a custom print.

    Having a Jetfire kit for him would be great since he's not going to be transformed with the WMW head.

    Iron warrior is the company that made this set for the MPM figure. It’s not a one off print.

    I can't believe that I'm saying this... but I'm not sure if I want it. BA Prime already maxes out my "studio" space and phone's camera spec. Plus there's no way to get a truly accurate Powerup Prime without donating a prime solely for that mode. It's more than corpse armor. Prime himself also bulked up and his own armor pieces transformed.

    Agreed. It will probably look amazing but wouldn't fit on any shelf I have and also it'd be impossible for them to do the little details like the parts that stick onto his face.

    However, if they include slightly bigger new heads (mask, no mask, with jet power pieces) I'm all in.

    Couldn't justify the price of a bigger head on its own, but as part of this it'd be worth it.

    Thanks, I got some from toyhax/reprolabels, though I prefer chrome symbol on red background instead of the other way around, it should work.

    Some just because pics. Having a head that's the right size does a ton for this figure.

    And now Prime can give a quizzical head tilt.

    I still have to try the DOTM pieces.

    @Seth Sunthay more like at least 1000...
    That said....for our friends who didn't want to bite on this figure until it was too late...heheheheh (not really laughing at you, but that this figure was so good for the "in" crowd)
    So...hmmm...I wonder if taking 3-d or Augmented Reality pics would be enough for our brethren who didn't buy into the figure? hmm ;)

    Some guys are already 3D printing Jetfire head, buying a model on Chinese sites is not a problem. But I can't say anything about how movie accurate it is. Anyway, it's better than nothing.
    We all know the old saying that "where there is a will, there is a way". I was able.

    Today in China, you can buy, the price is 130-180 us dollars, there are offers for sale.

    Now to the point. I don't know why you are so fixated on his belly. Yes, this is not ideal. And that could have been a little better than it is. Seen from the side, his belly and chest bulge too much, and so does his backpack. But let's not forget that this is a toy, and it transforms, and it will never be 100% like in the movies. To be sure, I'll attach a render of the original ILM Studio (Paramount Pictures) model from the movie, you will see,

    I think it's almost impossible to do this. But the front view is very good! I am a perfectionist, but even I understand that this is extremely good for such a toy. And I'm glad it has a spark compartment. It makes it a little livelier, a nice touch.

    Now I'm thinking, maybe for the time being to postpone my project to create a movie accurate Megatron, and make a few additional correct details for the Prime? side mirrors are the first thing that catches your eye, but those that sell for 12 bucks .. I don't like this, I have a bunch of Tamiya model paints and a 3D printer, so I will need to make correct and accurate mirrors, the 3D model is already ready for a long time. Or I can even use paper clips and a 3D print mount to make it out of metal ... Lots of ideas! I think I can also make a lot of additional parts, for the legs, for the butt cables in the hands, etc. So that you understand what I'm talking about, I'll attach more renders of the original model from the movie.

    But all the same, now my head is occupied with a megatron and a diorama in the dam. Perhaps I should concentrate on this, I have been doing this for six months now. I only became interested in transformers 10 months ago, and I really have big plans and opportunities.Well, good night.

    I use the iron suit to hide the inaccuracies on my mpm. If it didn't cost $80 I'd put the LT02 in the suit instead though.

    Is that an aftermarket head or black mamba? Can it transform? I think I saw or heard about and aftermarket head that lit up and had more accurate paint and scale

    Aftermarket. From Dino Model Shop on Instagram. It's too big to transform.

    This isn't exactly on-topic, but I'm ordering the MPM4-sized replacement head from DMS this week. The one that's still transformable. I love my LT02 but after having the WMW head for BA Prime for so long I can't even look at the stock heads anymore. It's just like when I got the new head for Challenger. The cost is $38 plus shipping. He's also sending me a replacement neck plate for BA Prime, since the 3D printed one was shitty and basically crumbled apart when I tried to transform it. No part that is stressed in any way on a figure should be 3D printed.

    in general, I agree with you. but I would like to say that there are many different resins. various quality and labeling. different resin markings can withstand different pressure, deformation, and have different flexibility. they also have different density, hardness and other characteristics. if you choose the right marial and keep it UV light enough, it will increase the chances of a good quality part.
