ALL THINGS TRANSFORMERS!!!!

[karamazov80]

If you intend on displaying it with Classics Faith Leader is the better choice as MP Prime 2.0 is the same height as MP Rodimus.......who's quite a bit taller than Faith Leader so won't really work the Classics.

After seeing this:

I'm leaning toward MP10. I don't collect Classics (in fact, I sold the bulk of my Classics collection a couple of months ago), and I only display MP and Alternator figures. So, looks like this will be better in relative scale. Also, I like that he's a bit different from the figure I already own. But if I run across a Faith Leader for the right price, I might not be able to resist

At this point, they've gotta do a Megatron, as well. Would suck to have all the other figures roughly in scale to one another, but only a giant Megatron.

I agree that MP10 would be better with Alternators and the majority of other MP's.

I think a smaller Megatron is inevitable and even though I'm intending on getting iGear's I would be open to a redesigned official one if the robot mode was suitably bulked up in certain areas.

How will MP-10 line up with Grimlock and the Seekers? Anyone know?

All should be pretty much the same height.

All should be pretty much the same height.

Hmm... Kind of glad I didn't spring for that Faith Leader after all.

I can't remember how big Megatron is - will he fit in too?

Nope. megs is just as tall as the original mp prime.

Mine is up for grabs in the FS section.

Same height as was said, which will be nice to have all the MP's lined up together all at the same height.

Thats what im talking about. We need more instecticons for real. We have 11 jillion primes and very few insect molds.

These kits look amazing especially Optimus. Definitely going to have to get him, and probably Bumblebee too. They are just amazing looking!

Very cool - is that supposed to be a new Insecticon? Looks so huge...

yea I definitely want to get Optimus, especially since he's supposed to be about the size of a Leader figure. If that's true, then he'll fit right in with all the others. hopefully we also get a Megatron and Starscream out of there. Would love a Shockwave as well but you never know about these things

 

[Silasya77]

A DOTM Megs would be amazing at the scale with Optimus. Those chains around his chest and the tarp...



win.

This was a great fun project. I started with an over-sized Sixshot (10" tall to the head, 14" to wing tip, in bot mode) Added lots of articulation, wheels, and a spiffy paint job.

Points of Articulation:
- Robot head on ball joint
- shoulder on ball joints
- telescoping arms with elbows
- hinged upper arm
- hinged lower arm
- wrists
- hands
- winged wolf (alt mode) head on ball joint
- hips (on strong ball joints)

Shockwave and Megatron would be awesome.

MP-10 will NOT be the same size as Grimlock and the seekers, he will be bigger. iGear's Faith Leader is the same height as the MP seekers and a little smaller than Grimlock which fits the scale correctly.

If you don't mind your Prime being taller than Grimlock then I guess this isn't much of a problem.

This video has a reference for scale with Starscream, skip to 6:45

So I see they're also doing a second run of the MP Rodimus... BBTS said there were improvements made because of problems. What were the problems?

 

[Dubcustomz]

I have been converted! Well...at least a little:

LOVE my Protector. Was contemplating selling him at first before i received him as i just wanted to use up the credit i had with the website i ordered him from and this was all they had and i thought if i didnt like him i can just sell him and use the cash to get something i actually wanted.
But once i opened up the box and transformed him any thoughts of selling him soon vanished. He's awesome in so many ways, especially QC-wise, but then again when something costs this much its entitled to be flawless...just a shame Takara dont understand that concept.

Still, im not entirely sold on this whole third party thing, but at least in this case i am happy with what i got and can see myself buying at least one other i-gear product in the future.

I still think MP-09 is the ultimate rendition of the character and i will get one of the "fixed" wave that comes out later in the year, but Protector is a good alternative until then and will fit in better with my classics display, just got to add an autobot logo somewhere, doesnt seem right without it.

Also i LOVE the new packaging for these guys:

(the toys are good fun as well)
