what... 6 hours to build???? my gundams took at most 2 hours. who cares, I still want it. so freakin awesome

 

Amazing. I want this thing so bad., but I just spent 5 hours on the MG Strike Freedom, slowly crumbling around itself as I tried to paint it up right, so I'm going to be taking a break from model kits for now. Hopefully the price on this won't shoot up or become unavailable any time soon.

 

Give it up for peaugh!  

 

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about that one.

 

Peaugh, I love you man but...

You and TFs just don't seem to see eye to eye.

They always seem to find a way to sabotage the way you handle them in your reviews.

Either things break, fall apart, or your chubby fingers don't know their own strength sometimes. lol

Still though, your fun to watch especially when your all surprised like about the ball joint being stuck in his arm hole lol

Classic Peaugh, always entertaining us.  

 

Great review! My package arrives tuesday!

 

I've been wondering should I get this or revoltech optimus

 

great review sad about hands gundam hands on model kits are stable than this waiting for mine to arrive in mail that bumbelbee ha sucks about variant was expecting to pop face plate on & off at will not take apart head to do so

 

^I hear you, dude. Imma Revoltech person myself. As cool as this dual model kit Prime is, Im no model kit builder.. 

 

Peaugh, the leader prime you showed as a comparison, had a black gun in hand. What gun was that?

 

i think the gun is TFC toys or something. need to find it myself

im a revoltech fan myself, but ill def get the prime model and bumblebee, and revoltech, possibly revoltech first

i build perfect grade and master grade model gundams, this is too easy, whole inner frame is pretty much preassembled for you, there is nothing hard about this kit at all, i dont mean to sound rude if it comes off as that way, but im disgustipated at how many people ive read (not just here) have been worried over how difficult the kit may be to put together lol.

 

That thing looks amazing! (and I do like the option of it having his mouthplate-less face) Although I'm one of the people who would prefer to get the Revoltech figure instead (pending what price it will be) - it pretty much looks like this kit, but already assembled, and therefore much sturdier. I'm no good with model kits (and if it took you six-and-a-half hours to build him, it would probably take me nine hours or something - heh).

But one thing I'm wondering: based on the "abs," the model kit is based on the DotM design in that aspect, but in the film itself

Spoiler

Optimus gets a bit of a rebuild, as his trailer serves as a weapons rack to supply him with handheld weapons, including his swords.

Maybe that's just something this kit's company didn't know about in advance.

 

That thing looks awesome... but it's so expensive... And it broke already! I'd be scared to even touch it...

 

It's from the TFC Gear of War 2 set, if I recall.

 

Great review, a very very detailed piece to say the least, worth considering.

 

great review!! it looks cool.

 

So peaugh, did you happen to have a cooke extra little pieces that look like the ab clusters??? Ther are on thr "J" runner, :/ and I can't figure out what they are for, for the life of me..  .

 

Not that I recall, can you take a picture?

 

Hey peaugh, heres a coupe pics (not great ones, sorry :/) of those parts I was asking about. if anyone can help me out with these, that would rock.

 

These go on his upper arms just under the blue arm bands. It's covered in either the same step or within 1 step of the application of the upper blue arm bands.

I was mystified by them as well (until the directions called for them). They do LOOK like his abs.

If this doesn't help, PM me and I'll dig out my directions and see the exact step #.
