    What? Did you even bother to look into the work Wheeljack has been doing? I don't think you did...

    My point made much more eloquently.

    Custom vs official item? I guess it's just a matter of where you want to put your money.

    Well, I meant that I just don't want to have to pay a bunch to import him. I would much rather Hasbro try and get the license for the alt mode, add a few mpre details, and release him around Christmas time next year.

    I cannot wait to get all of the masterpiece cars! Just amazing.

    I was wondering why you'd want to put Smokescreen's missile launchers on his hood though then I just saw this from last night's airing of "The Golden Lagoon". The takara guys really know the G1 cartoon.

    The more I look at Smokescreen, the more I'm starting to rethink pre-ordering him. He just looks really chunky compared to Prowl/Bluestreak, and as many have brought up, the head is a bit ugly.

    There seems to be a lot of dislike for Smokescreen's head, but I love it, and dramatically more-so than Prowl's. For some reason, I fell Prowl's head just looks too round and "helmety" compared to the toon, and while yes, Smokey's got quite the helmet, it's virtually spot-on with the toon. And frankly, I've already gots plenty-o-G1ers, I want the guys from that show I grew up with. LOVE it!!

    They look good, just wish they had the same rocket launchers as the G1 toys and were a bit taller.

    IDK, Jarrod Prowl is pretty freaking amazing.

    Sure, it lacks the polish of a mass produced piece, but otherwise, I'd say it goes a bit beyond "noble".

    All that said, I think these MPs are amazing as well and I really happy we're getting them.

    Good finding/ screen cap, I would not know that myself. Now we can say guns on the sport car is toon accurate. Not sure if we could say the same for Sideswipe/Prowl/Bluestreak, lol.

    The cartoon accuracy is amazing. The face, the head, the gun, and he's chunky. The only thing they left out is the skirt covering his ass lol...

    Think of it this way. He's going to be hard to find later, just like Lambor and Alert. Keep your pre-order locked-in while you can pay the OG price. See how he looks in your hands, because you will probably have no problem selling him later.

    That way you don't have to risk kicking yourself in the arse later of non-buyer's regret.

    Hmm good point :)  I'll do that, worse case, the vehicle mode will at least make a good display piece.

    Yeah, if there is anything people should be learning, it is that the demand for Masterpiece Transformers is only going UP

    I gotta be honest man, I'm struggling to see why that's a bad thing.....he has a body kit so will naturally be chunkier....that's one of his plus points in my book!

    Best case scenario is if you don't like him it'd be an easy sell.....maybe even a profitable one :thumb
