    This has been front/center on my work desk since March. As I was staring at it today it struck me how beautifully designed the rear thrusters are. This is a part on many fictitious spacecraft toys that doesn’t get a lot of attention, but look at this:

    So far this is my toy of the year for 2020.

    Yeah, he's got an awesome rear. Also, I JUST discovered that the eyes extend outward for jet mode to form the front intakes more correctly! I found out after watching @PeolesDru 's video.

    Wow, not sure if this is due to the weijiang courtroom drama, but this figure is listed for $70 on showz now! I got mine for $48!

    I really wish BA hadn't been busted, as I was really looking forward to this line continuing.

    I can't believe this line died when BA went to jail. I had such high hopes for an Optimus :(  I still really love this megatron though!

    The designer went to jail? Is that a fact?

    My gut tells me he’ll be back at it soon, and if he still has the passion for the project he’ll resume and we’ll see Optimus. Might be under a different name, but we’ll know it’s him when we see it. :) 

    Also I agree with Shmoptimus, I still absolutely adore this figure. I just wish this style was more popular so we could get more characters. I want Bee, Hot Rod, Jazz, Jerfire...etc.

    Yes I would love all of those! I really want a Lockdown too. Would be really cool. Sentinel Prime, Drift, Ironhide....I already preordered the twins in this style so you know I'll buy any character if they're made well :D

    I just ordered their Sqweeks from a China seller and am really tempted by this Megatron. Is the paint smearing still an issue? That’s the one thing holding me back.

    It was never an issue on mine. I’m guessing some people had a bit of the weathering wash come off on their fingers. Never happened with mine.

    My thumb had a small smear of black ink or something the first time I handled him but never again after that. The paint job is really beautiful. Even better in person I think.

    Still loving this figure. It even made it into my top 5 figures of the year! Highly recommended! I also made up a new "landed" mode for him, inspired by star wars.

    Same! I really wish they'd started this line sooner, so they could have had a few releases before they got shut down.

    I'm thinking if "they" made this line, they'd be golden. In the sense that it wouldn't really be recognizable....IF they don't package them as SD Versions of XXX! Trademark figure! And also not display them at shows...lol.

    Also, I'm going to try and get free time to do like you guys...free time to goof off and display my figures and take wonderful pics :thumb

    I don't think this line in particular was ever in danger, it's just that black apple went to jail and weijiang was disbanded, so there's no boss to keep the project going and no one to produce it.
    It's more like I take them wherever I go haha
