+1.

Which is really unfortunately. The sculpt is very attractive and would have been a very acceptable Magnus given no alternatives. On those pics, I would've eagerly awaited reviews re: QC and jumped if enough initial positive sentiment emerged regarding QC.

As it stands, unless Takara really screw up, most people will wait for the MP. Takara's track record to date with the MP line has been amazing. Only MP09 is the weak chink in the record since MP08 and that's b/c the 1st run had QC issues.

As for if this could've been a suitable Classics? I don't think so. I think Classics now sits as a line to me that has to have a modern sensibility to it - in alt mode and robot mode. Anything that tries too hard to emulate G1 is not classics imo.

Looking at the posted pics (Thanks), I'm actually fairly impressed with what they've done here.
Seeing that the cab isn't involved in much transformation, it is a waste that they didn't invest a little more in adding details such as opening doors and seats.
That would've been awesome.
Waiting to see what the official product is like and the scale before I pull the trigger on one of them.
......... The KFC number plate is a little off putting tho

Thanks for sharing kaiden. I think it settles a lot of the QC concerns and appears to be quite a decent figure for that asking price. The design is pretty good, although it has been done before in the Titanium series.

If there was no TT MP Magnus in the pipes I would definitely look at forking out some cash for this. But alas, MP it is for me.

yeah its a shame isnt it. Be nice if they had done Galvatron or Cylonus instead

Not a great thing, but the big empty void inside the cab is really saved by the Minimus Ambus story. Much better colours and proportions look better, however there's nothing strong enough to sway my buying decision.

I'd leave those two to Takara, they'd perfect them.

You're gonna have grey hair by the time we get Cyclonus from Takara.

sadly we'll all probably be dead by the time they finish making the entire MP G1 catalog.
