    The articulation is nuts. Can’t deny I’m an articulation junky. What’s most surprising to me seeing them side by side is how much life MP-44 has compared to the other two. They look more static and lifeless.

    Pix look of MP-44 look amazingly awesome! Glad I pre ordered him, but at $375 shipped from Tokucolletibles. They have raised the price to $425 now. I was a late comer so didnt mind paying extra as opposed to $325 or so ordered from AJP. Used to own an original G1 Prime, this one would trump that by a mile away. Just waiting on my shipment info.

    I've been a mad man purchasing masterpieces left and right, just the fun factor of collecting and having all the different poses and such. I've also already pre ordered Bumblee 2.0, anime Bluestreak and Smokescreen. My army is building up lol

    So question for you, Phamduc, can you snap any shots with the jetpack? And if you have a Sideswipe, is it cross compatible?

    Heh; I know the feeling; waiting on my Amazon Japan ship notice. Then the next question is "will I luck out and get it as soon as Monday."

    Are you kidding me? Not only do I keep refreshing youtube, this thread, google images. Oh heck I'd refresh the refresh if that was possible. Anything for more MP-44 content. Lol

    We're in the end-game now...

    Also, it's interesting - I do still like TE for its cleanliness (don't own it), but it really seems like, when you overanalyze the animation cells, MP-44 just really nails Prime's body shape, arm-size, and general proportions. Back-pack is better than I thought, and was even known to change size in the show:

    Thanks!! I couldn't stop thinking it'd be fun to try to match some of the blurriness in the photo, etc., and then everything went really quickly and before I knew it, it was done! Yup I need to see MP-44+ happen, even if they do no further toy repaints!

    I thought I was gonna be a Autobot only collector, but when they announced MP-44 I had to get MP-36 to go with him!

    Damn I love how the realistic details are preserved in vehicle mode with cleaner cartoon look in robot mode without parts swapping(unlike Inferno) and how the autobot symbol is printed on the shoulder

    Was 12 hours behind on hitting shipping due to not getting my email alert. :'(

    But...

    PRIMES'S COMING, BITCHES!!! :D 


    And my GOD... seeing the 44 mold side-by-side with the 10 really showcases just how gloriously amazing the new Prime looks. 100% justifies the effort of creating the new figure.
    Over $100 to ship DHL from HLJ, and worth EVERY penny.
