    I like the darker blue used on Takara version but the eyes on Takara version were not nearly as good as Hasbro. So I painted mine yellow. They almost glow now.

    The green looks a little too much, almost a little evil, or gundam like.

    ^^ Congrats Fata.. That scene with FOC Metroplex looks awesome! :) 

    If I may ask, where were you able to get not-Thrust? He is also the missing piece to my iGear Coneheads, and I am having a hard time finding a decently-priced one.

    I hear ya!! Don't think I'd regret it either. But with all the other bots coming soon from prowl and crew to jack and bee. I really gotta watch my budget and think carefully about each penny spent.

    I got my Hasboro Thundercracker today. He's awesome.

    Thundercracker has always been one of my Favs. I know this might not be popular, but....

    I feel like if Hasboro released the Takara version, people would have gone nuts. I know Takara has the better versions on most, but the TT TC is weak IMO. I know it's supposed to be realistic, but the normal argument is TT is always more G1 accurate. As a TC fan the TT is disappointing. I don't see G1 on TTs. Also, the color of the Hasboro really does not photo well. He's much more impressive in hand.

    Everyone looks for different things in a figure, but Hasboro wins this match easily.

    OMG, these are the types of reviewer that keep me from watching reviews.. this review soooo belongs in /r/cringeworthy .

    The way he just rips MP-05 apart and handles him makes me cringe and wonder how many more times it's going to last before he breaks him. Matter of fact he bent the plastic on the barrel of the gun during this review..

    People like this need to leave reviews to people who are better at it.. but, that's just my $.02

    Geez. I have a theory that the reason many people don't like MP5 and MP Hot Rodimus is because they have the hand eye coordination of an infant and the strength of an ape. This guy proves my theory.

    My theory is people don't like MP-05 because he looks bad and they don't like MP-09 because he breaks.

    Yeah, to be frank, MP05 is a turd and MP09 might as well be made of gold leaf. No other transformer has been less fun to mess with and (the latter) to date still the only TF to ever break on me during handling.

    I love my mp-05 megatron :)  . Hell i wish I had gotten him sooner. Is he perfect ? no far from it. He seems fragile as hell . He flops around in your hand like a dead snake. However , get him posed and standing , he looks menacing next to mp-01 . After they turned g2 megs into a giant tank , i dreamed of something like mp5.

    I have mp rodimus and he hasnt broken yet. Also I wouldnt let that reviewer make me a grilled cheese sandwich for fear hed bend my damn pan.

    After taking the group shot with Nemesis Prime in the front. I was straightening out Black Rodimus leg. The small piece fell out then the leg followed. I don't man handle my figures. Especially black Rodimus and it still broke. I can put the knee back in. But now it swing free.:cry
