    It’s going for $240 shipped now. It was $210 shipped when I preordered.

    Eeeek! That's a bit out of my budget. Though I can't deny that this seems to be worth the price. It comes with many useful accessories.

    And have a 50/50 chance of having worse articulation than ER Prime.

    I think my only other beef is that the Optimus Prime that goes with this looks kinda plain. His paint job looks more toy-like while the metallic silver for this looks more premium.

    Woohoo! At long last. You guys are gunna love him! :)  I'm apparantly fairly picky and I have only minor foibles with him.

    Hell... even BSF liked him and he HATES tfc. (Look at his reaction to the original red/blue TFC Optimus)

    I wat
    I watched BSF review of TFC Megs...he seemed kinda underwhelmed. Maybe because this kind of figure isnt his style. But I've heard next to zero complaints about QC issues.

    That's basically it. He said that he's not really into this figure or it's look, but if some are then he says it's really good. Only real negatives he has for it are that he doesn't think the face is great, some minor tolerance issues due to paint, and the fact that half of the entire head is light piping.

    I get what BSF is saying regarding the accessories. It can be frustrating when there are so many options deciding how to display him, and at times i wish the basic mode and maxed out mode were different figures so I could display them both at once*.

    that said, would that this were the main problem with all figures!

    I have no idea where he’s coming from with the face. I think it’sa fantastic design and sculpt for the face.

    Got my copy in from TCP today, haven't had much time to tinker with it:

    tfc dommeg tank.jpg
    Since this was a little bigger than their Optimus, I was thinking maybe you could fit in MS Frumble in the cockpits, or at least a titan master, but those are both way too big for this. At the same time, the cockpit looks like it would be pretty roomy for a diaclone.

    Luckily, still had some cobra/decepticon symbols left over:
    tfc dommeg tank symbol.jpg
    Its a little inaccurate, since the Dominator was actually an Iron Grenadier vehicle. But beggars can't be choosers. Anyways, wish I had more time to tinker with it today!

    Am I the only one that wished that his drone took on more of a lazerbeak appearance when it transforms? That is the only thing this almost perfect figure is missing.

    Firmament's guns look better with this version of Megatron than it does with my actual Firmament figure.
