    If it's a MP01 Prime size and budget Movie Prime I'd probably shell out for it
    I'm really just here for the free food and open bar.

    Without pics it's all speculation, It'll have to be something to make me buy another Prime, however it is possible.

    Aside from the head I don't see how you can get Prime looking more like the cartoon than he already does.

    I think it was stated that they're fixing his cab mode and including Roller.

    The beauty of MP-1 was that it was roughly in scale with the Binaltech line. So if this new one is smaller it won't fit with HA either, but might work with Grimlock and the Seekers.
    Which brings us to where we are today...

    Rightfully so. Cab mode is abysmal, especially for a masterpiece. The latest RtS Legend has a better cab mode.

    Really? Is that the general consensus? Why? What's wrong with it?

    The front panels not lining up is the main issue. The gas canisters are way too small. Wheels are too small. If you're going for anime accuracy then the headlights should be square, not round. Side windows don't have glass and don't open or even line up properly... In short, the truck mode was sacrificed for the more accurate bot mode.

    Here are some comparison pics. It is neither accurate to the real life Freightliner FL86 Cab it was based off origionaly or the art used for the cartoon.

    Which brings us to where we are today...

    I still like MP-01,04. I'm not overly impressed of having another Prime even if they do improve the original. I love the MP line but I'll be hard pressed to justify spending the amount of money they are asking for just to myself and if I can't convince myself then I have no hope of swaying my wife on me purchasing this item

    I actually always felt I was in the minority with that opinion. But yeah, #1 is the fact the front facia of the cab is not flat. The front facia of G1 Prime is flat. How could this be so badly done with what is an alleged masterpiece? To me, #1 is sooo bad, I don't even know what #2 is.

    While I'm not too impressed by the idea of another Prime I'm still interested in how this ones gonna turn out. If they make it right and it looks awesome then I may be compelled to get it. So for now I'll wait for some pics to show up.

    I think...that...I actually hate you now. I don't think it ever really bothered me until now. And to be honest, I don't think I ever really noticed it, either. And now I just keep looking at my "masterpiece" Prime and think. Holy sh*t. Jaydisc is right. Sad times
