    Yea, he’s that weird size class that doesn’t size well with a lot but is a bit perfect because it makes figures like rts lugnut look that much more imposing. Here’s a few more comparison pics

    I preordered one from the restock at Oh My Primus. Has anyone gotten a shipping notification from them yet? Supposed to be in 9/18 but I checked out as a guest so I dunno if I’ll get any email notifications...

    This guy was so worth the hassle of getting him. When compared to other 3rd party releases, he really lacks some of the finishing touches. But, if you compare him to a mainline Hasbro figure around the same price, he's easily better than just about anything they've done since HftD.

    And Oh My Primus was awesome to work with. This was my first time ordering from them, and I'm totally going to again.

    I ordered a second one from them a couple of weeks ago, and there hasn't been any movement on my order. I'll let you know as soon as I hear something.

    Quite a fun toy though the plastic does indeed feel more like a Gundam model. Hasbro's plastic definitely feels better.

    I think it might've indeed been a model kit initially, then they decided to sell it assembled. Mine has a lot of sprue marks that were lazily left there instead of spending a minute cutting them down.

    I wish the cannon was bigger, and the transparent red plastic elbow assemblies worry me, but, all in all, I'm happy with it.

    Also, it turns out that giftlovestore sends it boxed, not loose. At least none arrived boxed.

    UPDATE: I just got an email from Oh My Primus stating that their stock has arrived and I should receive a shipping notice by Tuesday.

    I hope this is the correct comparison that was asked for...

    Figure is okay, quality could have been better. But for the price, I can't really complain.

    I think for the price, this guy is amazing !!
    Once I realised I don't need his abnoxious backpack, he became one of my favorites Megatrons to date.

    I also realised that the peg hole could be covered up and the peg on his butt be cut off since he has 2 smaller pegs that help keep that panel in place during gun mode.
    And once I covered that peg hole in the chest, this guy looks so awesome !! But I think he may need a slightly bigger fusion cannon. I plan on building some hip plates like the G1 version.

    But I love how they simply used the QW transformation and skinned it with a version of Megatron !! Simple and yet so effective !!
    He also looks great without the extra cannon cover at the front in pistol mode !!

    I am really impressed with the design and price of this guy. Alot of bang for your buck as the saying goes !!!

    I was curious if the oversized KO Warbotron Bruticus could hold this guy? I've been tempted to pick him up (Bruticus), and if he can hold this figure, well, I know what my next purchase will be!

    Love this figure but giving some serious thought to doing away with the whole hip armor from the base of the peg. They don't seem to add anything to either mode and the figure would function better without them.

    They didn't send me an email, but with some work, I was able to track it down through DHL with the tracking number provided on the order (you have to check the order status, and the link they provide doesn't work). Mine has reached the U.S., but no movement since Saturday. Last time I ordered from them, they didn't send an email either...
