    I still feel that Reximus is a little big to scale perfectly, but then again I quite like that he's the imposing brute to Optimus's more 'athletic' build.

    Yea, I can do a Correction on that when I get back home. Visiting the new baby at the hospital.

    Yea, shit wish I had time to post mine. When I get home, I'll do a proper pic. I think his scale is good. I always pictured the Dinobots much larger then the normal Autobots anyways. I mean, they'd have to be to take on Devastator. Reximus is actually a pretty well done OS KO.

    EDIT: if you're a TE01 owner. Particularly one with the V2 Head..check out the official MP44 thread. Page 864..lots of TE hate there. I mean, how can they suppose @Ironstar stole the head sculpt?? Seriously? We watched it's progress right here for God's sake!!

    Exactly!!! IMHO, from now on, V1 head will be regarded as the epitome of HCI ("hot customizer item") since it perfectly matches the G1 Marvel Comics aesthetics.

    Fixed, looks amazing!! TE should release this! Do it like the comic version of MP grimlock was done, in a box with the marvel comics style art on it.

    notice I didn't comment, I'd have been savaged no doubt.

    I agree.

    Which Megs is that? Looks like one of the KO's. How is the new head for prime? Looks really nice.

    Part of me is really tempted to get him and cancel my MP-44 pre-order.

    I don't know. That new head really helps....

    Obviously I can't speak on how MP-44 is, with him not being out and all.. but TE-01 is a really fun figure. Transformation looks difficult, but it's really not that bad. Looks great on my shelf next to my KO MP-36, FT Hoodlum, and FT Sovereign.

    The new head completely changed my opinion of this figure. The bolts and other non-cartoon styling bother me a bit - it's like the figure doesn't know if it wants to old MP style or new MP style - but I like the proportions and most of the styling very much.

    Honestly what's holding me back from just getting this over MP-44 is the the super G1 accurate trailer for MP-44, the fact it's an official 35th Anniversary piece, and the killer price ($313) I got on Amazon.co.jp preorder.

    I don't know what to do lol.
