    Maybe it's the Macross/Gundam fan in me but I really like the tampos Fans Hobby uses. I definitely understand why they don't appeal to everyone though.

    I thought they all come with one, and the preorder bonus was another differently colored one?

    They make sense in a Gundam or Valkyrie... even commercial planes have wings plastered with "no step" marks. It doesn't make a much sense in robot-mode parts on Transformers... They'd be more like tattoos than warnings/instructions for human maintenance crews.

    At least the ones on Power Baser don't look like English.

    Personally I could do without them, but they won't make me enjoy this guy any less.

    Oh, thank you! I had not seen this! This looks to be just perfectly fine for my tastes. I was slightly worried that it would be this massive bulky thing hanging off of his back.

    So how big is his Powermaster exactly?

    Is he the same size as the Maketoys Head/Targetmasters or smaller?

    Lots of scale images side by side with MP-10 here for reference: DaimChoc Reports - ダイムチョック・リポーツ

    And here for some comparisons with Leader class Generations stuff. 玩具聯合國 變形金剛粉絲團

    No problem. Can't remember who coined this term in this topic, but yeah I love his "Big 'ole backpack of whupass" :lol

    Oh, we'll have to estimate based on him plugged in. I'd say around Legends size? Maybe MP tape sized?

    I'm still guessing that he'll be around the size of the MT Head/Targetmaster fellows.


    I guess we'll find out soon though huh? :lol

    No, the differently colored matrices were Fanshobby's ideas for potential separate accessory releases. According to them, pre-orders made before a certain day got the matrix part.

    Don't suppose you can give us a source, Daim? I'm also getting anxious for more news. lol.

    I hope they took a good look at the tolerances of the hands because I got their G2 prime and just slotting the gun or sword into the hand caused some decent stress marks.
