    For the first time since the mpm line launched i think I will be passing on this. I have the threezero BB prime and I am very happy with that. Was really hoping for the rest of the 07 movie cons.

    Hmm..i like him, but he does not blow me away. But for $120 he is a good value for me especially if there is some discount at Target. Will still save up to get TW. Btw did anyone see the TMT Knight Prime?! Wow.

    It wasn't the packaging itself it was how he was crammed inside. Like he wasn't standing straight in the foam he was hunched and some panels were loose. Just looked like someone didn't care or didn't have time to put him in there properly.
    Neat. Looks good. Panels on the forearms aren't great and the proportions seem a bit off (legs too short?) and I'm worried about some of the lower body articulation but overall looks like a good figure. It doesn't blow me away I guess since we've seen some really nice-looking versions of this design already (although not solid or well built ones). I do like all the detail and sculpted robo greebling. I think they did a good job with areas like the thighs, the tops of the forearms, the knee area, etc. The reveal of the first prototype for TMT Knight Optimus though on the same day kind of overshadowed this for me.
    Okey dokey!

    In case anyone is bored by MPM BBOP, here are the newest images of TMT's knight prime which actually has a physical prototype! This thing looks incredible and sort of stole BBOP's thunder for me this morning. Images are from @XaxisGuy 's post so credit to him for posting them:

    Wow, that looks really good! The impaling function is kind of hilarious xD

    I’m kinda surprised though at just how many 3rd party versions there are of BB and TLK Prime. Have there been any original 3rd party 07-DOTM Primes?

    On man, I just realized that the feet on the new MPM Prime are just upside down on the back of the truck..not a good look.
    Oh ok. That's a shame, specially seeing how the cool the packaging foam was. I'm glad that nothing broken though!!

    Man this looks good but can’t these 3p companies work on a character not named Optimus or Bumblebee?? How many 3p knight primes does that give us now, why not make a mpm style crosshairs, drift or hound?? If they’re sticking with those movies I’d love to see those guys get brought to life. I may have seen a prototype hound a ways back, but never the other two.

    So those smokestacks will remain bent like that in alt mode?

    Eeeek.

    I'm tired of getting primes in general but he's like the face of the tf franchise. I'd prefer some new molds of other characters who's figure haven't aged well or who haven't gotten figures before especially in the mpm scale.

    Ok... No Problem!!

    IMG_20210225_212124.jpg

    NGL, it's kinda odd that everyone seemingly has their 3P or OSKO Bumblebee Movie OP from ToyWorld, WeiJiang, Aoyi Mech or whatever... while I'm just here with my vanilla SS-38, who ironically enough still has the nicest, best-proportioned truck mode of them all despite being the cheapest option for a BB Movie OP available.

    Speaking of Aoyi Mech, here's my Aoyi KO SS-38 with custom battle-damaged paint-job staring as Dark Awakening Optimus Prime alongside my SS86 Hot Rod from a while ago...

    Even then, it's ONLY TLK/BB Prime and BB Bumblebee.

    Why not give us the other designs if you are gonna give us them. No company, besides Wei Jiang attempted to re-engineer the MPM Prime and it is honestly pretty underwhelming as a posable figure. It is also extremely easy for KO companies to give us ROTF BB from the MPM, or even repaints of Starscream and Ratchet to represent their ROTF and DOTM appearance but they just don't. I would so love for an MPM TLK Barricade

    I know! I mean I have LT-02 Prime and I love the look of it, but it’s for sure not as poseable as newer figures. And dude me too, I don’t typically go for repeat characters, but I absolutely love tlk barricade’s design. I would kill to see that in mpm form.
