    I think you’re right. Sorry about not referencing why I said that about the head. I’m typing on my slow iPhone.

    Any shots of the abdomen? I’m thinking the left side is replaceable with a battle damage piece

    Yeah but most are over head or at an angle. I didn't see any straight on. Color may make or break this figure

    Hate to say it but it looks over engineered.
    I speculate it won't be an easy fun transformation as MP10 was. It almost looks as "panel-y" as MP36. MP-36 was a intitutive yet challenging transformation.. one I don't care to do often.
    I guess I'll just wait and see how this bad mutha pans out.

    Ehh MP-10 isn’t a fun transformation to me. Sunstreaker is a fun transformation for me.

    It\'s okay. Lower half is excellent and a huge improvement over mp10. The upper half... ugh... where to begin. Arms are too skinny, shoulders are a shambles, waist is too skinny and there\'s something really off about the proportions of the window chests. Maybe there are frames from the cartoon that look that way, but it\'s not a good look. 

    Given that, on my shelf, Optimus is almost always behind shorter dudes anyway, the upper half is way more important. I kinda feel like this guy is a step backwards. Not a huge step, but it\'s definitely backwards.

    I really wish it looked better. And I'm not a Takara hater by any means. I think that both Magic Square and Transform Element look better. With the new pictures, I especially dislike the top view, with all of the space between the front windows/shoulders and the backpack. It honestly does look like a literal backpack.

    For those who like it, I'm happy for you. Different strokes for different folks. But for me, 3.0 is officially off of my shopping list.

    Ok I’ll give you that. My dad had a hard time finding toys that I could play with at that age but he would never let me touch the masterpiece figures that young :(

    Not the best angle for me to judge. The lighting and angle make it look like a Ninja Turtle shell.

    I’m sure once the color stock photos are released, he’ll look better (assuming Takara transforms him properly, unlike Hasbro’s displays... see The Devastator/Constructicon reissue thread).
