    Honestly, I dont like translucent plastic, but this almost doesn't show. All I see are the tips of the wings. Are those the forearms in robot mode? And am I missing any more clear parts. I love this look, and Furai obviously is way more expensive, too expensive for me. This looks like a great alternative, I just started collecting, so wasn't around for the first release.

    One more question, how does it scale with MP-36 Megatron / IT-01? That is the other figure I am interested in.

    Judging from a picture on the previous page next to Rioter Despotron, I think this is the size of MP-01. I'd rather have something that better scales with my existing MP figures, so this is a pass for me. Plus the shoulders aren't tall enough IMO.

    When is GCreations coming out with theirs? 10 years from now? :dunce

    It looks great, but would look better to me if the alt-mode cockpit had translucent plastic for its windows. Still looking good.

    Thanks for confirming the scale! I may reconsider this figure if I lose patience with the GCreation offering.

    Thanks for the pic, they look great together and scale well. Really thinking of picking it up as my first MP with it.

    I just want the new blades.

    Hopefully G-Creation will provide a way for people who bought the first version to get those.

    I still have a hard time defining what is translucent plastic and what is solid, like the first version. All I notice are the tip of the wings, or is all the black translucent? What do you guys see? We really need a video review ASAP.

    I just watched Emgo's review of the original. That backpack is ugly, though the front looks nice. If there was a way to make that backpack sit flat against the figure's "shoulder blades", I'd be more likely to buy it. I still like the improvement they made to the railgun/wings, though.

    I feel like you can make it out in the shoulder area on some pics. It's hard to tell what's light shining through vs. reflected light, but you can make out darker areas where the plastic is thicker.

    Yeah, the closer I look at the new pics, I'm pretty sure I can see the translucency in a lot of other parts. Slightly worried about how it will end up looking in hand. I may still cancel this, I don't know if I still have a lot of room in my collection for stuff in this aesthetic.

    Yeah, same, I think I see it in the shoulder parts, and even the chest... I love the pics, but don't know how it will look in hand, if it will look cheap or premium...

    I too, have the original figure, and would love to have the upgraded parts...

    Does Generation Toys have a history making upgraded parts available for those who purchased the initial release?

    I'd like to know as well. I like him, but not enough to buy another just for the upgraded cannon and blast effect.

    You can see the translucence all over this pic, but the butt flap gives a good idea because you can see the crotch silhouette through it.
