New iGear Mini MP Optimus

[Robzy]

I think it's pretty cool! I'd probably get one if I could...

iGear's doing a scaled-down MP Prime...on the one hand I really want one of these (though I'd rather Hasbro did it themselves), it's just the right size for Classics/Universe. On the other hand I can't see Hasbro letting this one go and it could easily be the catalyst for a crackdown on 3rd-party creators, which would suck big time.

We know. Since this is more of a blatant KO than a fan kit, the original thread has been moved here:

Oh.

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.

This thing is being sold and distributed from within mainland China. It will be very hard for Hasbro to do much about that.

They'll probably do the trailer and rollar if they can get away with it

That actually looks awesome. I'm so conflicted....

I agree.

I love MP Prime, but as I don't own MP Megatron, so I find he is bit too big, not just with Grimlock but even with the Binaltechs and MP seekers. I know Prime was always a big bot, but the Binaltechs barely come up to his groin.

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

huh? thats a weird way to think about things... i thought that the solution would have been to make a grimlock that is bigger, not make a Prime that is smaller....
