This WT-01 Ronin looks really great! I don't have any affinity to Drift or this Transformers series he is from, but I always admired some of the Cyber Formula cars, and making them transformable just ups the cool factor..

I'll be buying Magic Square's updated MP Prime, sure.

I would have trouble justifying such a purchase, since I can't even tell what's been updated...

I just don't know that I have room in my life for an MP-scale Peg...

I will MAKE room for that one. 😋

A transforming ASURADA G.S.X.?!  I'm in for one. Kawamori should be proud. Just need to tweak the head with a visor and mouth cover.

Oh man, a new Peg?

I think I need this. He's gonna munch so munch energon-flavor pocky.

If I could, I would make an in-scale dakimakura of Arcee for him. 

The paint scheme is kinda bland for alt mode, it just looks like a Japanese patrol vehicle.  I'd prefer something more bombastic for Drift.  Nevertheless, I'm still getting one; I quite like the design choice.

Man, that's a beautiful take on Drift. The transformation looks involved, and the car mode is awesome. Tempted, but I really have nowhere to put him. Prob just enjoy this one vicariously.

It is hard to believe that this car converts into that robot. Where are the hood, front fenders and cockpit in robot mode?
And where are the bulky legs in car mode?

-This- is what I appreciate in a good transformer, of any type.  Making you question how it transforms, because it doesn't look possible.  

[Drad]

Definitely getting Drift as well as Magic Square's upscaled Prime 2.0! Excited for both of them. I have the Legends scale MS Prime 2.0 and really enjoy it. Such amazing engineering for that scale. I hope the larger version turns out just as well if not better.

Right?!!!  I can see the legs forming a portion of the sides of the car. The heel becomes the big intake right in front of the rear wheel, which itself is encapsulated by the ankle TF: Prime-style. 😍 The scabbards become part of the hood, and of course the shoulders form a goodly portion of the rear of the car.  It all makes me giddy, as it's so well-executed. It doesn't look like it transforms in either bot mode or car mode, so the fact that it does is so deliciously alluring. And both modes are beautiful. 🤤

So, so tempted. I'm not even in it for Drift, as I have little familiarity with the character. Rather, it's the toy itself and how good it looks and the appealingly puzzling nature of the transformation that sings to my soul, or spark, as it were. 😉  Damn my small-house, big-collection situation!

Weeeelll SH*T that looks pretty damn good...Anyone gonna cancel the MP version pre-order and go with the NewAge to save space??? Cause I'm thinking really hard about it right now!!!

[sh9000]

That Jetfire looks cool.  I wonder if it by any chance scales with HMR.

IIRC the scale is a bit too big. As Spike and Sparkplug are about 1 1/2 times larger then the 1/91 HMR size.

[Chronocidal]

That might actually be the most streamlined Skyfire I've seen yet in .. ship(?) mode.  It's just so clean.  I've never even liked the design in the first place, because the winged backpack deal never did it for me, but that might be the best-looking one on the market.

Here’s a better picture.

the hinges visible through the windshield makes the cab look like the face of a frog. I can't unsee it.

Maybe a slightly darker blue tint would help.

Thank god I stopped collecting New Age. 
 

Or else.

I would be broke, divorced, homeless, and without food.

Well not homeless, I am sure I can fashion a home with my collection and maybe even a second story. But then all I would eat is cardboard, plastic and have a waifu…yeah, we don’t want to go there.

😜

I might buy this Orion Pax.

I'm digging that full alt mode. 👍

Agree... makes me hope DNA or someone will do something like that for the Pulsecon Orion Pax.  Because I already bought XTB's Kup, and it was frankly one of their worst releases.  No way do I sink money into the repaint.

I need to decide which Arcee I'm going to keep

Maybe the alt modes make a difference, but to my eye the one on the right looks significantly better.

Was about to say the same.

Keep the one on the right.
