It's too bad the only accessory half-way worth a damn came with the cheaper US version...

Sweet, Instead of gunning for MP-10, I can use the $ to buy two of these and custom a Naked Magnus :)

Looks that way. I think that's due to the two-piece extending design. :) Awesome move on the designer's part.

ooh, if that Prime comes to the UK I will be 'aving 'im. $100 probably = £100 but it's still an okay price for that lot. Dinky wee Spike, Roller and the trailer are all cool.
assembling a Neo-G1/TF:TM cast. Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

I'd buy this for the blue roller and the chance to repaint a MP OP ver. 2. :D

If this sells Hasbro will never, ever be able to sell modified MP again. To think, I was going to go for Starscream at some point.

So worth it. Off the top of my head I can point out that:
-Includes all of the accessories as the Takara Release
-It is RED
-It has light blue eyes
-Long Smokestacks
-CHROMED (NOT SILVER PAINT)
-Basically all the same paint (the trailers has a little less, and the figure has yellow lights painted on his chest)
-Its $100 instead of $250!!!!!!!!!!!
-Blue is more cartoon accurate
-Roller is more toy accurate
-IT'S AWESOME!!! :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN: :BOWDOWN:
