    Since this thread is scheduled to be moved, I will comment. Yeah this is pretty much a KO - A cool KO but still one since it is replicating a Hasbro product bit by bit even if its the wrong scale (as many KOs do).

    I don't see what's so cool about it? The fingers? A new head? That's it's a bit smaller? I can understand the appeal of WST Dinorobots, but this? I just don't see why anyone would want this when the real thing is so easily accessible.

    The smaller scale adds some play and display value with other figures such as with MP Grimlock as shown.

    I personally think this fan product steps too far beyond the line and will not support it. It isn't just creating a brand new mold, it is replicating an existing one which is literally making it a counterfeit.

    Aparently the idea for this thing is born out of general fan dissapointment about having MP Grimlock so small next to MP Prime.

    Want it for scale with Classics, probably won't get it due to both cost and not wanting to endorse something that's so likely to bring down the wrath of Hasbro on 3rd party creators (and thus stop us getting more cool stuff in the future).
    If/when Hasbro comes down on iGear they decide to sieze the molds and make a scaled-down MP Prime of their own, though...sold.
