    The Optimus Prime car for ROTF was way cooler.

    Or, they could always edge-enhance the hell out of it. You never know.

    Back of Sideswipe in robot mode: http://art64.photozou.jp/pub/92/2359092/photo/139484070_org.v1339859754.jpg

    Yup. And that's the reason why. He'd be bigger if the only trailer we had was MP-04's.
  5. David Hingtgen
    It's a better-looking Airachnid than the actual Airachnid figure...

    Scott Pilgrim had Final Fantasy and Zelda references though, so... PS----amazingly MISSED opportunity to have Jennifer Hale do a voice.

    Wait wait--they chromed Sideswipe's JACKHAMMERS but not his WHEELS? (true, Countaches don't generally have chromed rims, but still...) I'm going to accurize the lights the moment I get him, though. (front turn signal looks unpainted---boo!) (and the back-up lights should have a red section up top) Anyways---if you don't want a Red Alert now you might after watching this: Note---mildly NSFW due to language. But the best Starscream impersonation ever IMHO.
  8. David Hingtgen
    I'll agree with you.
  9. David Hingtgen
    Yeah, since this isn't going to weigh anywhere near what other MP figures weigh, even with fast shipping I think it'll be cheaper than BBTS pre-shipping.
  10. David Hingtgen
    Well, HLJ just put up their pre-order, and I did so. You've got 6 days to decide and still get the 20% off. http://www.hlj.com/product/TKT45997 And yes, any US release would likely have grey wheels, I'd forgotten about the rims---US MP Hot Rod had grey rims, I'd really like chrome on mine...
  11. David Hingtgen
    Does the Takara release have any chrome? Maybe the exhaust pipes, but everything looks to be just silver paint. Those are all good points IMHO. It's a Countach, not a '55 Lincoln--there shouldn't be much chrome, if any.
  12. David Hingtgen
    Hmmmmn. Despite being a *huge* Sideswipe fan, I'm seriously considering holding off for a US release. That's a lot of money for what it is.
  13. David Hingtgen
    Erm, BSG is the best show this decade, period.
  14. David Hingtgen
    I am a lot nit-picky, thank you very much. (it wasn't JUST the legs not matching everything else, I personally felt every square inch of it was the wrong color--the legs were just the most wrong) Looking back on it, I really should have kept the pre-order, and traded it for an Alto. (as I am still VF-25-less)
  15. David Hingtgen
    That is indeed a BIG insignia. Hmmn. I am honestly *slightly* disappointed in the paint scheme---while it does follow the original G1 toy, the toy itself had a simplified paint scheme as it'd be too costly to emulate the exact scheme of the Countach it was based off of. This is neither a typical real Countach scheme, nor the scheme that the original G1 toy attempted to copy. (the G1 toy is based off of one particular Countach that had a unique paint scheme, the front fenders are the main giveaway)
  16. David Hingtgen
    HLJ still doesn't have MP-12 for pre-order. Do they normally wait longer than other places? It's been a while since I imported an MP so I can't remember. (I'm going to go with HLJ or BBTS, it pretty much depends on what HLJ's pre-order discount is)
  17. David Hingtgen
    For how much MP Soundwave costs (they upped the retail price with the latest news) it should have come with more than one cassette.
  18. David Hingtgen
    MP-14 is Red Alert. (thus, there is no MP-12A or MP-12R)
  19. David Hingtgen
    They could have just sent the smallest guy they had.
  20. David Hingtgen
    Well that's interesting----"Mylene Sterling" http://wbd.deviantar...rling-169633198
  21. David Hingtgen
    I may be weird but actually prefer a tight flightsuit over raw skin. And Grace without her glasses just isn't very Grace-y, you know?
  22. David Hingtgen
    The wheels and tires look the *most* out-of-place of all the bits it's Frankensteined from. Let's see-----Firebird-esque front fascia? Top half of a hearse?
  23. David Hingtgen
    They're going to announce MP-14 next week at the Tokyo Toy Show too. My vote goes to Galvatron. (based on the new numbering system, this should be a new mold, not a repaint etc)
  24. David Hingtgen
    It always comes back to Milia.
  25. David Hingtgen
    I have to disagree with that statement. "Selling out" and "maximizing sales" are not the same thing. Based on how many people still want but can't get a VF-25F, VF-25S, YF-29, or VF-25G, Bandai has not maximized sales, not even close to it.
