That vehicle mode on FansToys Scrapper is hideous. Even the stylized Generation Toy design looks cleaner than that in vehicle mode. Baaad!? G1 PMOP was great!! Granted, I may be a bit super mega biased because for 11-year-old me who'd missed out on a lot of the older stuff four years prior, this *WAS* my first Optimus Prime, therefore this was _MY_ G1 Optimus Prime. (Similarly, the LGEX God Ginrai set may have made changes, but in general, this is what I expected for a modern CHUG PMOP. I don't see them topping that.) And MPG9 Super Ginrai is bound to be just as epic for the Masterpiece line. (Scale? What's that? They even screwed that pooch with the Bayverse Optimus & Ironhide in MPM & SS!)

Pretty sure we’re not getting the Steeljaw from ShowZ. I learned my lesson from that one and bought all the other exclusives at Toy Dojo. I’m just keeping that $1 deposit open to see if Show Z will ever acknowledge it’s not happening and refund it. Part of why I won’t put down the large deposits they require for the Fanstoys releases. Don’t mind being out $1. $30 - $40 for a standard figure or even $150 for the Fort Max…. I wouldn’t like that

The FT Scraper seems a bit wide to me especially as compared to the images of the xtb. I'm going to hold off for now, after seeing the mmc prototypes there's definitely option abound. I'll more than likely bite on the Ironhide and Omnibot as well, despite xtb's QC issues on car bots. Definitely getting the mmc Ramhorn. At least we'll know for sure what the mpg scale is this year.

Honestly, you don't have to fear of missing out anymore. I think all this stuff ends up getting re-issued at one point or another. Now I've seen so called companies that close down and did Fire Sales! Claimed by KZbinrs get re-issues #Deformation space Ds-02 Recording alliance and also DX9 stunticons getting re-issues..from a company that supposedly close down and re-emerge in less than a years time! Not to mention all these Fts Limited versions that are Not So limited lol ..

Im waiting patiently on the Sideswipe wars to begin. I'm pretty much fine with my Prowl/ Blue streak representation but if the bot looks cool and its not too much, I may go in on it.

I’m totally prepared to wait (easier to justify the cost…) but the conflict in my head between FT and XTrans Devastator is too big to commit to either of them right now before seeing and knowing more about them. At the same time I don’t want to miss out on one or the other. Sitting tight seems to be the only option for now…

I'm hoping the "tan" stripes on the Runamok recolor are just badly photographed and will actually be gold on the finished figure (to make it match the stickers on the toy), but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I cringe a little when you bash g1 toys and say things like "we are getting the one we should have got all along." That is like saying we should have had iphones in the 80s because they are better walkmans. The technology and engineering weren't there. Plastic wasn't as good, so things like complex ratchets or universal joints would have crumbled the first time they moved. Seriously though, stop bashing g1. Respect the elders. None of these modern bots would be here without the 80's bricks that built the foundation of everything we love today.
