$70 is still too much for that figure. Not worth it to me.
Exactly,i got the KO Prowl for half that,and its perfectly fine.

You can see the scrapes on the red paint of the panel. I tried a little nail polish in the joint, but that didn't really do much either. He still can't support the weight of his weapon with his elbow joint and it just flops down.
I'm looking at my Sideswipe now and the scrapes don't look bad on yours since the panel is hidden in bot and alt mode I think.
As for the floppy elbow, is it loose at the pin on the bicep or at the elbow with the black screw? If it's at the elbow with the screw, try using a few coats (maybe 3) of Pledge Future in the screw hole and the corresponding holes of the white elbow part. But let it cure for a few hours in between coats and leave it over night before putting it back together. You can always take it off using a q-tip dipped in windex if you need to. I try to avoid 'craggle' glue if possible.
Hope that helps.

That's awesome, thanks for posting this, even though I'm not to fond of the US paint apps, much prefer the Takara one, I might get this and do a bit of painting on it myself, or get the year of the horse and see if I can paint the gold to chrome, has anyone done that?
Received Scoria and found one of the arm panels are damaged with stress marks. Anyone check to see if they have these stress marks on the right arm panel where the hands fold into when in dino mode. It looks like it will likely break off if i try to transform slag a few more times.

^ I'd better check that. I really need to do a once (or twice) over on this figure. I basically just sat him on a shelf as soon as I got him!
Really? I would have never thought that myself... I think they look like they're from the same line, with the same aesthetic. Mind you, those details will probably "blend" a bit when we see a colour test shot...

Yep, sometimes a certain joint or detail sticks out for the wrong reason when it's a grey prototype but it's not noticeable once painted.
I noticed a couple of small things like that on MP Wheeljack and Bumblebee but the color images look absolutely fine and I'm sure Sever will be the same.
As for the TFW'ers moaning, I'm pretty sure that lot find fault with everything. For years MP Dinobots topped wants lists and now someone is making them to a standard that's comparable with official products they still aren't happy
The aesthetic is fine but Sever isn't going to fit with MP08 in terms of it's height & bulk in robot mode because Scoria doesn't either.
EDIT
Omnigonix have apparently received their first Sunstreaker prototype so pics should be imminent!

It wouldn't really be Sunstreaker if he had a shoddy finish so I hope Omnigonix make sure they give him a nice vibrant shade of yellow even if they're only using unpainted plastic and the spoiler and turbocharger should be chrome as well.
Furyan,
Beat me to it
Star Saber = I don't dislike it, but there's not really a space for it in my displays.
Ultra Magnus = I think it's being displayed very strategically to avoid people noticing that it's too big to be a proper fit with anything from MP10 onwards. I'm going to see what it's like in person before making a final decision but am probably going to resell it.
Wheeljack = Perfect.
Bumblebee = Considering the smaller scale compared to the other cars it looks like another incredible home run.
Exosuit = See Bumblebee.

Been collecting my whole life and that, has just become my favorite figure of all time. I've been waiting 25 years for this.

Star Saber will be mine.

Ha!
Agreed on all levels. Im not too bothered by Magnus' size as I always thought he'd be bigger in real life,regardless Im eager to transform him should be fun. Also look at that shine on Bee's left foot,that paint job is excellent....if thats a production sample he is gonna look real slick!Congrats,you must b on cloud nine about now.
I still havent watched anything after G1 yet (Victory,Headmasters and SuperGod Masterforce) but I need to get to it.
That's awesome. Congrats. I don't think I've ever seen this guy in my life, but he looks cool.
