    True but isn't that just the prototype of NA's unarmored Ultra Magnus? I don't know maybe both NA Prime and NA UM are the exact.

    What a time for me to get into third party legends!

    But, it would be nice if they wouldn't repeat themselves so much.

    Also, It would be great if 3P companies made characters other than the standard 84-86 in this scale.

    Because newage is doing a new prime figure, and they seem to be out to destroy each other. But either way we get some great choices. Sometimes Magic Square's is better, some times newage's is.

    Vendetta? A war of attrition?

    Did the designer for MS steal Newage's wife/girlfriend from him?

    Kill some member of his family?

    :p

    I am still nuts for NA Prime because of the MP44 style and the hope it can hide all the wheels. BUT THIS...oh my. This is what I been yearning for from NA. This MS 2.0 can hide all the wheels.....I need to Pre-Order now, 1 for me and 1 for Bert to review

    No one knows but if Magic Square announces something within a day typically newage announces their version.

    Imagine if somehow the new reissue of their MP Prime was really this mold upscaled like they did with their original, would explain why sites like Showz says they don't have pictures of it yet, it would be the MP-44 many people wanted simpler and without the needless backpack.

    Now that's probably a 0.1% chance of happening, but one can dream. Cause I would love this guy in their Ultra Magnus colours.

    "Company X says they're making Legends Fortress Maximus, so Company Y comes out with an 'announcement' that theirs will be better & cost more/less?

    Hasn't it been that way since the beginnings of third parties?

    I agree man, I was looking at the comparisons, but I really think this is the best looking Prime to date and it's a bloody legends class!

    they are the same, only different colors and MS 2.0 kicks it's behind (for me at least).

    Or, like, the beginning of commerce? This isn't unique to 3rd party transforming robots.

    More like baiting NA. I'm sure word already got out to them, they're probably pissed that they're no longer able to recline and relax while drip feeding us nothing on NA Prime. Now they have to respond asap. It's like a mini gang war.

    They might. There's an "improved" reissue of their MP Prime coming out. If we're very lucky, it may turn out to be this one.

    Yes but MST and NA go harder at it than usual. Seems that they're almost perfectly in sync sometimes and always have a reveal for competition to the other's latest announcement.

    I’m torn on this - I do wish we could get more new characters rather than just re-dos of existing ones.

    But damn, that’s a cracking rendition of Optimus Prime.

    But the first MS prime could also hide all the wheels :3

    Anyway, I still think NA looks cooler - this one still keeps the height which doesn´t work much with my IF Megs and they still keep the thighs too skinny, I was hoping they´d beef those up in a 2.0... Also those thick bard on the sides of the chest windows are odd, NA did it better.

    Still the alt mode looks good and a great improvement over previous version. Just that MS transformations are not as fun as MA so it may mean a more complex and tedious transformation.
