I had thought The Matrix was entirely silver chrome, but now we can see the center is clear. Would have liked a little color in the center, blue or gold, something.
This is still a hand painted prototype so there's still a little room for change.

I agree, I think it would look way better with a colored chromed matrix like what MP10 had. Also, him attaching the Matrix to the gun reminds me of when Big Convoy basically did the same.

It's especially odd considering that the faux cab/chest windows are still clear blue plastic. Could have just used some more of that to pour into the new Matrix mold instead of using an entirely colorless clear plastic. I would think that would make production a little less complicated and a little more cost effective, resulting in a better looking product too.

Did you take it from a phone by any chance? They have a habit of doing that.

Mold layout is a bit to blame here, specifically old vs. new.
I did some comparing with images (as very good habit to have, folks), and the whole matrix is a new single piece, instead of the regular PotP Matrix Core + case. Like the Enigmas and Prime Armors, I suspect the Matrix Core and case pieces have their own molds separate from the figures they're included with, thus can be cast in any color and freely switched out or even replaced.
Besides, we've seen figures with multiple colors of clear plastic before, albeit rarely. And isn't all clear plastic the same, just dyed differently?

At the moment, MP Star Saber still scales very well with these guys since the MP is the same size as both a CW Combiner and Legends God Ginrai, and Star Saber is meant to be that size.william-james88 wrote:Ultra Markus wrote:With Big Powered out and now Star Convoy coming the question remains when will we see Star Saber and Victory Leo

As he was part of the PotP fan poll, rough designs should be available for him (as for his nemesis Dezsaras/Deathsaurus), so getting him done won't be that hard.

Really wish they had chosen a better mold for this. I get the reasoning, but this mold really didn't deserve 3 uses.
Still gonna get it though. I love the head sculpt on Star

Edit: Also, the black truck looks like the other trucks. Maybe they are just rando Cybertron traffic?
