    Well, due to the positive feedback on this thread, I have taken the plunge and bought both Medicus and Navigant.

    It's cost me an arm and a leg.

    If mine looked like that, I'd be ok with it. But it was so off that I noticed it while still in robot mode, thinking "that's not gonna match at all"----and after transforming, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

    Couldn't tell if it was really worse or just harsher lighting. Mine looks generally better, but is infinitely more noticable in some lighting. It does look like yours is perhaps a bit...um, beyond...that.

    Had the same issue on one side, decided not to replace it (still have the part and could glue it in). They're fragile enough that they'll break off again anyway; only real issue I have with the set (him and Navigant) so far. Sad, but doesn't affect transformation, so I let it be.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    But I am considering replacing them but I am not sure if the rubber base of the mirror is easy to remove. Can someone confirm how to remove.

    How are you breaking the mirrors? They are soft rubber and flexible. Had mine for about a year and zero issues with the mirrors.

    I found them to be so thin and soft that even with very careful handling the thinnest part just tore in half sadly. :(

    Less than 24hrs for Navigant to arrive and I think I'm hooked!

    Fresh out of the box and and they're phenomenal in bot mode. I can't wait to get them transformed and to add their Toyhax Autobot logos.

    Quality and feel are top shelf and they pair beautifully. The complete team of five is going to be stunning when complete.

    Both of my mirrors sheared off too. I actually contacted MMC awhile back but they didn't have mirrors available at the time to replace.

    Navigant is great.9/10 for me. Comparing him to Medicus I felt that Navigant has better build and materials than the latter although Medicus is more articulated. Also love that he is gray rather than white, it adds a slight color break-up on Defensor's blue, red, black and white color scheme when we get into Maximus Pro mode.

    Alt mode looks great transformation is a breeze as usual for MMC.

    Onto combined mode and I think that Navigant's design will be a great blueprint for the Stunticons Breakdown and Wildrider when they finally do all-in-one Menasor

    Has anyone heard whether EmGo is going to do a review of Navigant? Pretty much everyone else's has been out for over a month.

    And they nailed the shade of grey. I know it's tempting to want fully painted surfaces but I find myself not missing it in the slightest; that's coming from someone whose MP collection otherwise consists of chrome Gigasaurs. I think it's because the Protectobots were always plain/matte in appearance so it feels faithful.
