    My thoughts echo most by the looks of it - he looks a tad skinnier than i expected, and the wings a little too big, missiles too small, so he comes across a bit too stylised. Reminds me a little of God Ginrai and certain Gundam. I'm thinking the wings can probably be adjusted lower and they're only big so that his flying car mode doesn't look so silly.

    I trust that the car will be dead on accurate to the model in the end (the picture is probably warping dimensions) so if he ends up a little skinny in robot mode, i doubt there's much that could be done.

    The attention to detail is slavish again though, they've got a special piece to give the side of his waist the right shape, shin details are spot on, leg wheels at the back, upper shoulders are trapezoid etc. I also appreciate the flipping chest logo too, and the gaps won't be as obvious as Bumblebee, thanks to the darker blue. Will definitely be the definitive version once it's coloured!

    Looks great!!!

    I am so happy for this MP release... Sure there could have been other characters that could have been MP-25 but we got Tracks and I am rather excited.

    If they are continuing the licenced vehicle trend then the final proportions will be dictated by that. No car manufacturer grants a licence for something to look "almost" like their product.

    Hope you don't mind me using it - I attempted (using Photoshop) to compensate for the curve of the document in the original photo. It might be a bit to narrow on the horizontal axis (and thus too skinny) but hey, figured someone might get an idea of it.

    Alt mode looks great, but still not sold on the bot mode.
