    After watching the video showing the transformation I must admit I'm in complete awe of this masterpiece. Amazing ! :cool: 

    I feel so lucky that I will receive this figure :)

    Same thing happened to me. I retried the card and haven't gotten any email or notification. When I got home from work I called my credit card company to check on any recent transactions and it showed up there. Also, when viewing the invoice on Amazon Japan's site, it shows the card transaction at the bottom.

    By definition, MS-01 is the only one of the three with kibble, but then again, MP-44 put on his and his brother's (Ultra Magnus) backpack at the same time, WHAT AN IDIOT, AMIRIGHT

    ok

    My bad, I meant the one on the right.
    That one has no backpack, or it's so small as to be inconsequential; it just has a back.
    Also, you mention panel lines and such, the same one has an inexplicable seam on top of his head that cuts through the crest.
    It's pointless and inexcusable and really drags down what is otherwise a fairly passable 2nd option.


    ...DISTANT second option.

    Is that true though? What about the head that’s already attached?

    YouTube (Handle):
    Prime never had a large backpack in the toon. Certainly nowhere near as big as MP-44. TE-01 isn't perfect, but it's closer. Also, regarding the seam you're taking about, that was only an issue with the V1 head (it wasn't pointless as you say; it was required for transformation). It's inconsequential in person on the redesigned V2 head, which was a free upgrade for those who purchased the V1 figure. Inconsequential as in you can't even see that there's a seam.

    Honestly, without wishing to sound funny, it's as though people on the official threads don't even bother to look at the 3P figure reviews before passing judgement, whereas people in the 3P forums tend to buy both.

    See, from that angle MP-44 looks great. The human figures still look like garbage though. Possibly even worse than the ones that came with MP-10/27...

    44 is a bit bigger. TE is a bit flatter. Both are objective near enough.

    Well yeah we knew that ages back. But we’re wondering about the other type of legs.

    Could you imagine if Prime transformed like that in the cartoons?

    It would be so cool. Some freaky anime body horror verbs. I’d love it.
