Funny and true!! You should see my post count over there, it's pathetic!! Under 150 I think, and I've been registered there and here for the same amount of time (5 years or something). My most frequently posted topic was Apollyon

yeah can you believe it i found him lurking in the apollyon thread when i started posting there.
dont worry cram no one cares about me there either. only scaleface on the os combiner wars bots thread.
i still wondered how you got bumblebee21 from devastator21

is sovergin in your big pile shipping to you this week.

wonder what xtb is going to do

Well mine just arrived. Damn he feels solid.

How tall vs he vs other MPs? How good does he look in either mode?

Like MP Optimus/MP Soundwave solid? Or MORE solid, as those are probably my most solid figures other than the OG MP Optimus

I too am curious as well.

The top of his head (not including the crest) is a couple of mm shy of the top of MP UM's chest windows.
If you want to know how he looks in robot mode check the reviews. His purple parts are lightly sparkled and the purple plastic looks the same as the purple metal. I haven't transformed him so can't comment on his alt mode.

I know this is probably something you can't comprehend, but I did a quick QC check and then put him back in his box for another month! I'm still getting to know the figures I got for birthday and christmas last month!

Next to FT products all official MP figures feel flimsy, floppy, cheap and nasty! I'm not exaggerating. Their first release (Quakewave) blew official products away but their recent releases are even better. He feels cold, so cold to the touch because THERE'S SO MUCH FREAKING METAL! He weighs over 800g without any of his accessories.

Argh. That seems a tough too big for my liking. Thanks for the info though! I appreciate it!

As much as I love the looks of the official MPs, they seriously need to work on their QC - especially with all these wonderful 3Ps around now.....

I still have a G2 CW Menasor and CW Sky Lynx to open for Xmas! And I'm still waiting on my two presents to myself: MP Hasbro Soundwave and MMC Kultur (Tarn!!)

I cannot wait for 'em, and check my order for Tarn, daily, in hopes he's shipping.....
