Thanks for the info. I’m fine with waiting since I’ve been spending way too much money on TFs lately so having a breather will be fine with me as long as I get it. I’m mostly ordering it now cause I’m worried that it will go out of production and double in price.

 

It's down on my priority list for the same reason. I'd also liked to see a bigger head, and maybe slightly smaller overall...

 

I hope not, I'm still waiting for Wei Jiang to get back to me about a replacement visor
(The pin on the left one hadn't gone all the way through, so the small connector is slightly bent- I'm terrified it'll break)

 

Yeah, sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but that's not going to happen. The ab "issue" goes far beyond a simple QC mess up. It's fundamentally a design flaw and requires serious reengineering in order to fix.

 

Yeah people are wanting an ab fix but Wei jiang doesn’t even see it as a problem. At best they’ll do a Dotm version (maybe) but even if that happens it doesn’t look like it’ll be any time soon and that’s if that happens

 

Yes I know... Unfortunately.
But a man can dream XD

 

I feel like that'd be pretty easy though. If they had just made the ab pieces so that they were removable via peg or something...

 

You’re right and maybe it might be something included in future versions but currently not something weijiang is inspired to do rn apparently

 

Cancelled

 

Then I'll continue not buying it, I suppose. That's really my only disappointment with the figure, but it's big enough that I'd rather not bother with it.

 

Just got this guy in yesterday and had some time to mess around with him. I thought the abs would stand out too much, but the piece as a whole just has so much character and glorious chrome/detail, that in-hand, I don't care.

This is my definitive 07' Prime.

 

Yeah I can understand that. Here’s to hoping there’s a new prime that isn’t based on the mpm 4 mold

 

Chinese perfect optimus prime modeling

 

that prime is based on the mpm lol

 

It keeps the same base movement, but there's more core changes than Black Apple's

 

yeah, u're right, but it still using some transformations of the mpm (the cab), anyways, still looks amazing and so accurate

 

Wouldn't it need to, in order to be screen accurate, though?  

 

Maybe another company will come along and improve on this version...

 

It’s not based on the mpm, just shares some similarities. Probably inspired some of them tbh. But I’m glad it doesn’t include some things, and forgoes a 100% accurate truck for a 99% accurate robot mode thus far. We’ll see how it goes
