    I was already interested in this, but for $140? It’d almost be a crime to just up and pass on it.

    Great Price for a figure this size. Pretty damn close to what Carnifex was originally. I just have zero attachment and would rather have seen Supermax out instead... Yay for those who get this.

    That’s what I’m thinking! Rolling back prices 10 yrs. Thanks MMC. Bababobo has it for less than $134 shipped too

    I guess... I'll find some room for him. Somewhere.

    Think of it like this.

    The GS is the temporary power-up that Prime receives, loses and knows he will become like in the future. The MMC is what he actually becomes when he is revived.

    M hmm. At some point hasbro did a machine wars and repainted all that neon g2 stuff into machine wars. Like one of the predators became starscream. They take Thundercats and repainted him into optimus. No retool. If it makes you feel any better, the mw optimus from fanshobby and the mmc one both have a head retool. And honestly not quite sure where they fit in the grand scheme of things

    A lot of stuff I don’t know about because I had moved on when the show ended. Regardless, this figure is priced to sell and looks awesome.

    Agreed. I'll have to see if I have funds at that point. This looks pretty damn good and I would like to encourage more jp characters.

    I third or fourth the notion that he really needs some paint. The Takara one is out shining him on color and finish right now.
    Price isn't bad.

    Agreed. I have incursus, and surprisingly, I kind of wish les paint was used. Ive managed to start flaking some of it by accident.. If mmcs intention is to make toys then less paint should be used. But that being said, this is "ocular max mp" so technically this should have more paint

    I know the treads are part of the design but anyone else wishes there was a hinge on them so they could fold or collapse in and clean up the front silhouette if you wanted them to?

    What! No! Thatd be like trying to hide the wheels on optimus... wait nevermind.

    I suppose that's subjective. I actually like them, as they help add another differentiation between normal prime and star convoy. Besides, if they added that the price mightve increased like a dollar or two for an extra hinge. But I can see why some people may want to make it a cleaner silhouette. Makes some characters more appealing to some

    MMC is just lazy with paint. FT is not perfect paint application wise, but they really know how to apply paint well.

    This figure isn't designed to be in an MP line but you can put it on an MP shelf if you want.

    MMC toys are designed to be played with so sometimes there isn't as much paint as collectors would like because we want to avoid paint chipping issues.

    That’s what I love about MMC’s MPs. They have only the absolute essential paint applications. Impetus is such a great example of that. The actual pieces of colour really pop.

    Absolutely. But maybe let this boy release first before they show that.

    Has there been any mention of a base mode?

    I know the original's base mode is, well, not great, but it'd be neat to have. I would care more about a base mode if Sky Garry and Grandus get made though. All the same, it's far from a dealbreaker, particularly if ditching the base helps improve the robot/truck modes and keeps the cost down.
