    seeing these prototypes got me thinking...back in the days of alts there were quite a few prototypes and early test shots going on sale. Don't see much any more. I guess Hasbro/Takara has tighten up the security.

    I saw the original protos for MP1 and couldn't wait! But was disappointed by short smokestacks (Australian release).

    Since then I started importing from Japan or buying from import stores and getting superior versions and never looked back.

    I'm glad MP10 local release didn't get short stacks - but the Japan version still has better paint apps and accuracy of colors. The eyes look dead but I painted mine metallic blue so got the best of both worlds :p

    AGREE... If you think of it, MASTERPIECE is just a toy LABEL signature. It does not have anything to do with toy QUALITY. Oh well miss those day.

    I'm not in the custom of telling people their opinions are wrong as they are opinions but I'll make an exception. This opinion is so wrong in so many ways, it's actually ridiculous!

    These scans are beautiful, I wouldn't even mind owning the protoype, to be honest. September, October or whenever your release date is can't come soon enough, Prowl!

    Exactly. If its a perfectly working feature and simple enough, why change it? And how else were people really expecting shoulder cannons to be stored?:confused:

    I think he was just making a comment on the the way the launchers deploy and not the overall look/quality of the figure. Aside from the extra step of extending the barrels, I'm not seeing much difference between how these launchers work compared to those on the Universe figure.

    They are the same size. Do a search here or on Google and you can find pictures of this guy alongside MP Sideswipe.
