    Because the head is embedded between the forearms, actually the back part of the yellow plates of the forearms are already cut to shape. Nevertheless putting the head a little closer to the grill would have helped this issue

    Oh, I meant that they should have used the SS49 headsculpt instead of a different less accurate head.
    I'm fine with the size, it would've been better if it was bigger, but I'm not too bothered by it.

    Oh definitely, it's much more complex in the original mold

    I'll admit it, it's growing on me. I wish it were MPM sized as I missed out on MPM bee. But even though it doesn't scale with anything, I could see it as a stand alone piece. Not something you put in a glass case with your other figures, but something transformers related to put on your desk or something.

    Totally needs a 1:1 scale of his height in the movie.

    There's another hinge there so it seems like they fold down like the mpm to become the small secondary wings

    Yes I saw it. What I mean is what about the hinge that I pin point? Have you seen any pictures of it folding?

    It’s a solid attempt. The backpack is definitely better than the mpm and ss version

    Thanks for the comparisons. The only thing I like better with this one is the space in the middle of his torso looks more screen accurate. The rest of his torso, though, doesn't compact as nicely.
