    A thumbs-up isn't enough, this fantastic!

    Can't decide if this is hilariously brilliant or brilliantly hilarious. Excellent work either way. :bay

    Yeah, I think $200 is the ceiling. Megatron was $170 and Blackout is more or less his size.

    I'm genuinely curious how they'll pull him off. Honestly, the general engineering of SS Blackout is excellent and can likely be maintained at a basic level. The benefit of the MPM will be additional parts count to help some things fold away better, like on his arms and back.

    I have a feeling he may not come with Scorponok since Barricade didn't come with Frenzy. I'm also curious how the rear rotor is handled since on the SS figure they approximated it as his weapon, but it's not really accurate to his hand-held weapon in the movie (DNA fixed that). I imagine he'll also have his chest cannon.

    Mpm jazz and studio series shockwave. Jazz is just a delight to mess with and for me is the best movie mp we have gotten of late. Likewise shockwave has that presence. These are great figures and are on my locker.

    Both are highly recommended IMG_20210923_164949.jpg

    Ah damn bro I wouldn’t know which one to get then. You could also wait til you’re on vacation somewhere and use a hotel dryer haha that would be a very expensive solution!
    Thanks! I think you’ll like him a lot. The detail is excellent and the posability even with the restrictive thigh panels is pretty good. Only thing missing is ankle pivot, which would have been really helpful. If DNA Design wants to give him new feet and bendy whips I’d be OK with that.
    I’m hoping for zero partsforming and a bit more coverage of the back of the alt mode. And yeah I’m still pissed that Barricade didn’t come with Frenzy!

    I could see them re-shelling Stingers part into the Camaro but to a certain extent. They'd have to do a lot of retool for the weapons and stuff.

    Sentinel Prime would be fabulous as an mpm. I don't think that SS voyager figure does him justice at all. Besides him though I'd love to see Lockdown too one-day

    My main thing once again is just how they're gonna do the chest for Dotm and TLJ Bee. I'd still prefer a new mold for Dotm Bee and also for the mold to be shared with the TLK design. Both the vehicle modes and robot modes were similar right?

    Stinger was great but he has his quirks I'd like to see Hasbro do a new mold for AoE Bumblebee

    Okay I have a question if anyone sees this:

    I have the Black Mamba Ironhide and I have an MPM** Ironhide.what is the best movie Optimus Prime that would fit in with this collection? Cost is really not an issue, but I was looking at the Black Apple and Possibly Black Mamba Oversized. What do you guys think?

    I think if cost is not an issue, BA Prime should be the centerpiece.

    I am of the mind that BMB Ironhide scales great with Black Apple Optimus Prime, but BA Prime needs an upgrade or two to look really amazing (shown here with Leafage head) and the big jump in size between BMB Ironhide and MPM-11 Ratchet is hard to ignore. I’m very satisfied with this scaling though.

    Ironhide is supposed to be taller and bulkier than Ratchet so I find the scaling in the pic you posted to be quite acceptable.

    I was definitely looking at BA Optimus and BM Optimus. BA looks beautiful and so does the BM, but this one appears to have a few more accessories.

    I've tried to sort of do my research and look at pictures to spot the differences. I promise I've tried to do my homework! But with 500 OPs and me just looking into it, I basically got all confused. :( 

    Hopefully I can grab one of them soon, I'm going to try and see if I can hunt one down being sold by an online retailer or something. Not sure what the price difference is and the possible height difference.

    Thank you! :D
