Is that the Pat Lee method?

You don't see where step one is some crude shapes and step 2 is a finished head with the rest just adding excessive details on a "how to draw Optimus Prime" guide?

From How To Draw Transformers Prime.

Rotf prime really isn't all that difficult.
The transformations that are the biggest pain are the ones that don't hold together. MP-05 is fairly easy to get used to, but it's the fact that nothing wants to stay together that is most annoying.
I'm perfectly happy with a complicated transformation, just as long as everything lines up and is solid in both modes.
Judging by recent masterpiece releases, this one should be fantastic. But we'll see.
I feel like a lot of people attempt a transformation once, and if they consider it too difficult, they never make an attempt to actually learn it. I think ROTF prime suffers from that. I think it's a really neat and interesting transformation. But most people just seem to say it's too difficult, transform it once, and never try it again.

Just goes to show how much more refined and streamlined a figure can be when its given more than a 12-day deadline to design it.

Importing from Japan
What is the level of customer service one can expect if one were to run into issues with the order? My first experience dealing with a Japanese store is placing the PO for MP-36 with A-E. Thus far that experience (including a few email exchanges) have been very positive.
I'm interested because I recently placed an order for something else with Nippon Yasan. The payment process failed, but my credit card company said it's not because of them, but rather the merchant. I've opened up a ticket with N -Y and tried the online chat function, but I haven't gotten any response yet. Experiences like this make me wary of dealing with Japan and push me toward paying a premium with domestic importers.....

I'll limit my comments so we don't get too far off topic, but yea, I'm very wary of N-Y now. I'll give them another day to respond, but I'm not hopeful. Without getting too much into the specifics (since the transaction doesn't involve a TF), I'll have to go with a domestic company as the other Japanese retailers are oos. I'm actually a little surprised N-Y thus far has been so unresponsive. I've emailed Amiami, Anime Export, and HLJ (regarding the orange plug), and they all responded promptly. I'm glad I went with A-E for MP Megs, and not N-Y. Probably staying away from them going forward.
