um it didnt work for me just says the video is private

[griffin]

It may have been changed to private later, so I'll leave this news item here as a review video will be up soon anyway... or that one may be made public again.

Ok, I saw it before it was private and I'll sum it up:
Pros:
Waist-up is beautiful
Laserbeak in general
Energon cube very good fit
Feet can be placed in any leaning position
Shoulder Cannon folds into the back of the toy, as both battery things store on the back outside of the toy.
Like MP-08, toy is more of a refinement of its original transformation, which makes a good homage to the original.
Tape door can open and his arm looks good when pressing it, as there are MANY joints in the arm to do so.

How feet are attached: (foot is =. Joint connecting foot to leg is backslashes, leg is indicated.)

Cons:
Legs cannot rotate back, only forward
Feet cannot pivot/rotate around

As illustrated, there is a joint connecting the foot to the side/bottom of the leg, which means it can go in a variety of leaning poses(pro). But, this means it cannot rotate for more elegant poses.(con)

General Info:
Tape player mode is about and inch longer, double as thick and about half and inch taller than the original. Tape door is the same size.
Robot mode is about a head shorter than MP-10 and is about as tall as MP-08's dino mode.
Can hold up to 3 cassetticons, with a spring loaded part which locks at three different points to hold up to the 3 in any configuration.
Can fit G1 cassettes inside.
Laserbeak in bird mode is substantially larger than his G1 counterpart.
Tapes are same size as G1.

Laserbeak in bird mode is substantially larger than his G1 counterpart.

IIRC I thought MP Laser was smaller than G1. Damn I wish the vid was still up so I could rewatch it. I love the detail and how they incorporated laserbeaks backpack into the cassette

IMO as I saw him, he seemed to be quite a bit thinner, yet taller and a tiny bit wider wingspan than the G1. Each to their own, I guess.

Either way he is perfect and he will be mine!!!!!

I saw the review before it was made private and I'd have to agree with the reviewer in that the hip 'ball joint' could have been done a lot better. Overall though, I'm very happy with it and can't wait to receive mine in the next couple of weeks.
