    MMC Reformatted extras are exclusive bonuses from Planet Steel Express (their online store partner). You would get them if you order from them directly.

    I found it was too similar to the RTS jazz. While I think the GT jazz is a great figure, it wasn't exciting enough for me to feel it was worth what I paid. I ended up selling it off after a while and now I am left without a jazz in my collection haha.

    I got the grey guns from Kapow Toys in the UK, but as far as I’m aware those that ordered him from Omegalock in the UK also got the grey guns. I don’t believe anywhere here was sold with the old head sculpt.

    Not sure if it’s just those guys who have an exclusive deal type of thing with MMC.

    I can see that, but I did the opposite and sold my Maketoys Jazz for the GT version. Honestly I wouldn’t say either one is better quality than the other (though the GT one is known for some QC issues which makes me wary to transform him much) but I like it’s overall aesthetics more with the rest of my IDW crew than the G1 inspired Downbeat. Both are great though.

    hey all questions I have asked in the past so I got you covered

    1. First release of NON-ASIAN retailers to get the grey guns.
    2. Maybe, I am not.
    3. Nope different port system.

    hope this help :) .

    My GT Jazz literally broke in half one day after not messing with it for a while...didn’t mishandle or roughhouse, just snapped clean in half for no reason while posing. Sold it for dirt cheap, which is a shame considering I paid retail price for it. Kinda some animosity between me and that thing tbh. I’m waiting to get the Flame Toys figure, which looks gorgeous as expected.

    Back to Prime, still cool as hell. Nothing new :D

    I received the extra guns because those are regular extras, the Planet Steel exclusive accessory is the extra head, thats all. I got mine from toydojo and got the grey guns.

    Aren't the extra guns a first run, outside of Asia exclusive or something like that?

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching the Jobby review of this fella, he noted some of the minor observations some people were having with the alt mode. However those nitpicks were easily forgiven because of how entertaining and articulated the figure is. The video was a great reminder why we love collecting these to start with.

    Yep. MMC Vexo Prominon. It was 2020 TFCon exclusive.

    I regret missing out on it.
