    Agreed. I only transform my Masterpiece figures once…rarely twice. The new Masterpiece figures are so insanely difficult to transform I’ll never do it again. I’m not sure I could even figure out how to transform the MP Nemesis Prime back to truck form if I tried. He was insanely difficult to transform the first time. I do like to be able to display both form though!

    Ah no deal jk

    Well I’m officially excited. Now I wonder how long I’ll have to wait for a MPM G1 Soundwave, Megatron, and Ironhide?

    That's why I sold the most part of my hard-as-hell trasforming figures :lol  because they were figures that I can't touch to transform (too complex, too tight, too many pieces, too weak) and at the end of the day... I had transformers that I cannot transform. In this cases I prefer accuracy over transforming features.

    The only complex figure that I still have is Optimus LS03F but I'm planning to buy the KO of Unique Toys Optimus, at this moment I changed my entire collection to a legend scale.
    I really enjoy Threezero figures, they teased AOE Optimus!.

    I'm seriously considering this one... I almost feel like it's a fan cred thing. I need to own one of these figures at some point but I can't justify buying too many of them so I might as well go for the most impressive of the lot (that's also a major recognizable character - sorry Blitzwing, if only you were Starscream ;) ).

    I never cared for these type of things and then The Bumblebee Movie came out and I got for the first time to see what my live action Transformers would look like. Now I can't stop looking at how awesome they are.

    I pre-ordered one from Sideshow. I actually ordered all their ThreeZero Bumblebee movie releases.

    I’m finally shipping this from my POL at BBTS after accruing items in there for a few months. Anything to be on the lookout for in regards to QC? Really want this guy to be flawless, it’s poised to be a centerpiece on my Prime shelf

    Watch the wrist area, the hands are a pain to swap unheated and you can easily snap the little red handle on the inside of the wrists. Other than that, this guy's rock solid.

    Was upset that i broke my tw op while transforming him. My consolation was discovering that my 3A could hold all those rifles so much better than my tw (now deceased) op. :p

    Finally getting DLX Prime in from BBTS today. Hoping he’s perfect with no issues, this is gonna be a centerpiece in the collection for sure. Probably will get MPM-12 to mess with and transform repeatedly

    A blow-drier. I... don't swap his hands that often.
