    ha...and yes finally this is the MFT that we all have come to love over the years. i wonder what the final size will be and what other improvements they have made. either way im in 100% on this one. i hope this means their S-dub will be the MS bot as well.

    Yeah, I'm all for them doing their own figures, but I'll be glad if they can pump out some more figures by doing some KOs. Their desingers can continue to focus on figures that have not been done.

    Really hope they do Megatron, Soundwave, and Shockwave.

    So seeing how it's released under MFT not Mechanic Toys, it's 100% a KO of Magic Square's, right?

    How is that MFT fault ?
    Sideswipe and red alert are no longer in production, Sideswipe is almost sold out, that is BBTS problem not theirs.
    There are still a few around at chinese sellers so if you want them pick them up.
    Just looked at the site pre orders on MFT bots that have been released long ago.
    Reflector, Sixshot, Grapple, Cyclonus. Blaster, something is not right here

    I still think it is the smart move, you have a greater choice for customers, make money and have time to develope your own.

    Trailblazer?? Is this a MST OSKO or has a regular size? Interesting!!. I'm sorry for MST but MFT should KO every MST out off stock figure but not oversizing them. Now there's some impossible-to-find figures like Trailblazer or Inferno. It could be a great chance for collectors that missed that figures.

    No they should not compete in the same scale and this is fine as it is.
    Missed out on things, learn to deal with it, that is just how life is.
    I am picking this 1 up since I collect both scales now.

    I didn't miss any MST so I have nothing to learn, just telling that someone could have the chance.

    Aren't you tired? Remember... Just toys...

    Hm.. I didn't really think MFT's Sideswipe or Hound were inspired, but in this case, while MS trailbreaker bot mode is amazing, the alt mode is far from the nicest thing. Wheels are small, chassis is boxy, lack of any nice curves etc. They would do better to play with it, than to straight up reproduce. MFT made both Sideswipe and Hound's alt modes better than MST would/and have done, IMO.

    Is this a comparison about who is better ?
    Do not think so.
    I think the only reason MFT can do this with out hassle or blow back is either they pay MST for the design or MST let's them because they are not in the same scale, so not competing.
    With missing I am talking about the MST not the MFT, you want them to do KO's in the same scale because you miss something, not me ;) 
    I settle with what I have and can get.

    They are not spectacular in quality but I do like the looks in bot mode.
    MFT Sideswipe has the better face of the Sideswipes and Hound is very G1 and I like that, just wish the quality was of that of their latest releases.

    He clearly stated he didn't miss any Magic Squares, he means it so that other (perhaps later in the game)can still enjoy these moulds.

    Well, gee, my preorders are from January 2019, so out of production now is as relevant as the price of tea in China (as is everybody's favorite viral excuse).

    Blaster and some of the others went back up at ShowZ, so presumably they're reissues. If MFT deigns to fill orders placed by BBTS, that would be great.

    What?? :lol  :lol  I'm not comparing nothing. I already have MST Trailblazer, and also I have or had all the MFT figures. I was happy for other collectors, they'll gonna have a very hard to find figure if this MFT Trailblazer was regular scale, but I will happy too for the legend+ collectors. Deal with that, that's how the life works, not everyone attacks everything that's different.

    My question is if you aren't tired of being rude with everyone.

    It wasn't a mistake, damn, you caught me, I'm a big fan. :lol
