This figure had the potential of being a mp44 and TE01 killer if MS didn't skimp on the materials and there's no way I would spend over a hundred bucks for it. They'd be lucky to get 50 bucks from me.

Im glad somone finally admitted this figure feels bad. I hope this guy serves as an example as to why you can't just upscale legends scale figures into MP. Less heavy plastic, no die cast, and those tabs on the inner arm are fine on legends because it's already a small bot. But when you upscale it minor nit picks become actual flaws.

Fantastic review Mr. Baldwin. I literally got this dropped off at my door as I was watching your review moments ago; and I agree with your assessment 100%. I bought this wondering if it would be better than the T.E., and it fell short of that. For reference I've got Magic Square's 1.0 Prime, Transform Element's Prime, and MP 44. M.S's second attempt pales in comparison to their first as well. The smoke stacks are intact, but the diecast of one was bent, so I corrected it. The axe wasn't fully assembled too. Now the plastic... it's hard to discribe; it's not good, more like Grandma's ribbon candy. The red plastic is opaque, and likely very brittle. I feel like this was an effortless cash grab; zero heart, and soul. For those on the fence: if you've got M.S's 1.0, then you're not missing out. But, if you have the 1.0 and you want something more toon accurate, I suggest Tranform Element, or MP 44. At a $124 USD, what I paid, it's a pass; if you can pick it up for a c.h.u.g. price, then maybe. Sorry for the long comment.

Other than being super-sized to Newage David, seems like a similar transformation but with some more extra steps for the chest windshield. So if kbb makes a 4th party ko of Newage David to MP44 size, it would likely be better for the right price.

Thanks for the review. I hope they improve the quality of plastic next time. I'm going to cross my fingers that they do a metallic version like they did last time with 1.0. Their metallic version last time was great and it adds a realistic element. I just hope when they do it they remove the silver box frame around the headlights. To be honest though I like MP-44 rectangular headlights so maybe they could have two smaller headlights on both sides like MP-44 but without the box frame.

What you and many reviewers obviously do not know is that the plastic type mostly used in this figure is nylon plastic which I apparently is more durable than ABS plastic that is usually used in Transformers figures. So I do not see how the plastic could be better quality.

I would not pay more than $60.00 for this figure. Because this is priced very poorly, and the quality of the plastic is low, I will have to miss out on an otherwise nice looking Optimus Prime.
