    Shame Hasbro seems to be delaying issuing their versio of the figure so I'm gonna have to import the taktom version. But, this is a musthave figure to complete the showcast. Will defiitely purchase it, hopefully find a cheap one as the ebay prices on this figure is skyrocketing atm.

    Are any of the surfaces that the stickers are placed on, not flat? for example the head lights or tail lights?

    The knees are a nuisance, with four stickers on each knee (because they are curved). The Micron is a bit fiddly too. But most are on flat surfaces though, with this one.

    So there's no molded detail for headlights and the front Grill? that makes it really look like it's not coming out in the western market.

    So I just decided to crack mine open, and DAMN those knee stickers. Quite difficult to get them symmetrical and looking good. It's almost like they're slightly the wrong size.

    Figure is pretty awesome though. Great articulation for a bulky fellow.

    Found the transformation on this guy a real puzzle, eventually just squeezing everything in, locking things in and hoping for the best. Not really feeling the love for this one, but we don't get many Decepticon trucks so that adds some value in uniqueness, plus the whole "show cast" thing.

    Me neither. I disposed of mine months ago. Too big, fat and chunky. And don't get me started on the toy!

    They're moulded... it just has stickers on the headlights. So if Hasbro did it, they might have paint apps on them, if they could afford it.

    cool, they look very flat in the pictures I've seen. I'm trying to weigh up getting this and potentially applying my own paint apps against waiting for Hasbro to "possibly" release it with paint apps applied, and approx $20 cheaper if I pick it up from a Big W or something like that here.

    and the hasbro might have more show accurate weapons, or just a stupid mechtech weapon.
