    The custom Dreads I just bought from a board member here, and Dr Wu's brilliant little Mohawk, to scale!

    I could see them re-shelling Stingers part into the Camaro but to a certain extent. They'd have to do a lot of retool for the weapons and stuff.

    Sentinel Prime would be fabulous as an mpm. I don't think that SS voyager figure does him justice at all. Besides him though I'd love to see Lockdown too one-day

    My main thing once again is just how they're gonna do the chest for Dotm and TLJ Bee. I'd still prefer a new mold for Dotm Bee and also for the mold to be shared with the TLK design. Both the vehicle modes and robot modes were similar right?

    Stinger was great but he has his quirks I'd like to see Hasbro do a new mold for AoE Bumblebee

    Okay I have a question if anyone sees this:

    I have the Black Mamba Ironhide and I have an MPM** Ironhide.what is the best movie Optimus Prime that would fit in with this collection? Cost is really not an issue, but I was looking at the Black Apple and Possibly Black Mamba Oversized. What do you guys think?

    I think if cost is not an issue, BA Prime should be the centerpiece.

    I am of the mind that BMB Ironhide scales great with Black Apple Optimus Prime, but BA Prime needs an upgrade or two to look really amazing (shown here with Leafage head) and the big jump in size between BMB Ironhide and MPM-11 Ratchet is hard to ignore. I’m very satisfied with this scaling though.

    Ironhide is supposed to be taller and bulkier than Ratchet so I find the scaling in the pic you posted to be quite acceptable.

    I was definitely looking at BA Optimus and BM Optimus. BA looks beautiful and so does the BM, but this one appears to have a few more accessories.

    I've tried to sort of do my research and look at pictures to spot the differences. I promise I've tried to do my homework! But with 500 OPs and me just looking into it, I basically got all confused. :( 

    Hopefully I can grab one of them soon, I'm going to try and see if I can hunt one down being sold by an online retailer or something. Not sure what the price difference is and the possible height difference.

    Thank you! :D

    I want a masterpiece movie ROTF Soundwave that spits out a transforming Ravage that spits out a Reedman that spits out an allspark shard. Even if Reedman is just a folding cardboard cutout and the allspark shard is like a pebble

    Hahaha!!! That would be quite the solution lol. I think Walmart has a heat gun for abt $20, so I'll prob run out there this w/e.
    I almost grabbed BMB Prime, just bcs of the price, when I was trying to decide which one to get, and made my decision on the following..

    1. The back for BA Prime is so accurate, compared to BMB Prime. 7ef2725715.jpg 1c9f53d07d.jpg
    It's the same for the arms, the paneling is more accurate, and the transformation of the panels on BA Prime is pretty enjoyable.

    Lastly, the circled areas on BMB's Prime's shoulders have been known to break. 20210924_012041.jpg
    So if price isn't a concern when deciding, my advice is to go for BA Prime.

    I kinda like him with BMB Prime and the HA bots in both modes. Mpm Ironhide is awesome but scales only with the rotf/dotm leader optimus.

    a lot of people will say BA prime but I never liked him much.. he is complicated and the altmode just doesnt look right with the wide tanks and rear

    What got everyone started with Studio Series? I did not get my first figures until fall of 2018 and that was only because Starscream and i believe Lockdown were on clearance. I kept them sealed. Had no inkling to get the flimsy ss-01 (made me think the rest of the figures were compromised?) so i thought i would just buy whatever was on clearance. Then I set my sights on Ironhide and fell in love!!! Screenshot_20210924-002355~2.png Jazz was next, then SS-32. I then got ROTF Megatron used without a box and he became my very first full on paint job! Screenshot_20210924-003336~2.png The rest has been an expensive, but deeply satisfying journey. I regret nothing (other than returning my extra Scrapmetal)!
