Of course, most of the painted pieces are made from transparent plastic, which might pose some issues in the future.
That alt-mode is good enough to make me want to pick him up, If I ever find him.
Can anybody that has Mirage take a comparison pic him with SS-86 Jazz in car mode, just for kicks?

I wouldn't trust the MV8 part too much. Just like how MV6 Frenzy is most definitely SS86 Frenzy, MV8 OP is probably SS86 OP. I would be very surprised if movie 8 happens next year or even in the next two years given ROTB's poor performance.

The animated movie is confirmed for next year. So one can assume figures from there will make it into SS. So, this MV8 Prime makes a lot of sense there even if he is being voiced by Chris "The Mighty Thor" Hemsworth.
What's still confusing is why MV8 Prime and Bumblebee are both in whatever sub-group / line "A Level" is supposed to be. Some type of more accurate figure sub-line? Special detailing , paint apps? Who knows.
