    Not a big fan of the colors, and that's not a bad thing since I've always been waiting for MS to do him because I'm not buying the same mold twice, so I hope they're doing the crotch details greener, the gray lighter, the windshields more yellow and the blue bluer

    Also I'm finally getting my replacement head for the regular one, it should be there when I come back home on sunday :bowdown:

    I think MS has already shown its SG Prime. I swear I saw pics of that and a number of other repaints (including a dying grey Movie Prime) in another thread.

    Sort of- since they have both a legends and MS scale Optimus, it can get a little confusing.

    For their legends scale, they showed a golden lagoon, shattered glass and ultra magnus version:

    And for their MP scale, they showed a black deco with a golden grill and smokestacks, and a dead version from the 86 movie:

    I kinda wish MS did the shattered glass version in MP scale. Anyways, SG TE-01 looks pretty sweet. I might pick him up so I'll have an equal number of MS-01s and TE-01s (as I have both Nemesis Versions and Ultra Magnus MS-01)

    The SG version looks nice indeed. I hope they will eventually release a version of the G1 coloured version with more paint apps specifically for the alt mode.

    And ten wheels, but then it would have to be a complete new bot :D

    Will it still have incredibly poor ratchet spaces ?

    The ratchets on the newer the v2 and Nemesis versions are well spaced to be honest. Granted the v1 wasn't as good (and that's the one I have). My Nemesis is definitely more poseable.

    question

    What is everyone doing for trailers for these?
    - I have my MP-10 trailer I can use, but it would be nice to scoop another for the cheap and then just sell the MP-10 all together.

    Even a black trailer option would be nice

    Thanks.
    I was going to keep that trailer for the fans hobby cab. Something close to scourge.

    Nobody makes a G1 trailer anymore?
    Everywhere I look they are sold out

    Last year there was a new KO MP-10 and KO MP-10B that was released. They included matching color trailers. These trailers were also sold individually without the cab/main robot. I'm using my KO MP10/MP10B trailers for TE-01 and TE-01B.

    Taobao.com is about the only place left that may still have these KO trailers. That's where I got mine from.

    **UPDATE**
    @whodathunk328
    check this seller on Eaby szzdjwl-9.
    Last I checked they are a legit seller according to @Mark5677's feedback a few months back.
    These cost a bit higher at $102 shipped each since they are the KO versions that come with the cab.

    Check my post again. I made an update. You might not need Taobao after all.

    **UPDATE**
    @whodathunk328
    If you still decide to go the Taobao route to keep costs down a bit, you can simply run a search for MP-10. It will bring up MP-10B options as well.
    Just make sure to check each listing to see if the KO trailer is available in any configuration. I recommend going with a seller with a rating of at least 4 diamonds or higher AND/OR a sponsored gold medal rating.

    As always make sure to confirm stock availability with the Taobao seller before buying.
