    THIS IS A GOOD OPTIMUS. Why Takara can't be like Transcraft?

    I can understand ToyWorld, but Weijiang's?, the third party figures really ruined the perception of the design,
    same as how Pat lee's megatron made people think he was always badass and not some "old man in shorts" like mp36.

    Yeah, if you take a look at his chest in both the model and the film itself:

    They're generally smaller, and have those little pieces there on the sides. I understand why they forgo the latter (I probably would've done the same) but I definitely think they would stand out less on the truck in general if they were smaller.

    Cause MPM is on a lower budget. So he'll be cheaper and have an easier transformation. Although I'm sure many people would have been fine with that if it meant an even better figure.

    Excellent. Looking forward to the minuscule chance of nothing going wrong with this process.

    Easy pass. The 3P and KO versions are far, far superior to this.

    TLTL, TT.

    In this particular case the Studio Series did do BB Optimus Justice

    Especially with the back of the truck.

    I paid Transcraft Bee 90 euro. Stupid ass-looking-bee Mpm is like 100 euro and that's unaccettable.

    It's actually a far cleaner and accurate back then I expected. Better than the previous MP Prime back anyway.

    Robot mode looks great but I think the truck mode has killed it for me. Sorry!

    As always, I'm excited for those who went in on the Bumblebee MPMs, but for myself, I did not. (none of the figure lines for this movie actually).

    Sure can't wait for some more characters from 2007, ROTF & DOTM however!!!!!!


    EDIT: so those smoke stacks are going to remain bent like that in truck mode????

    What's the bet that the rumoured MPM-13 '77 Camaro will be that hideous design at the end of the the BB movie and not the '07 Movie version???

    It's been said that it's most likely a retool of MPM-03 Bee, so it's probably how he looked from the first movie.
