    Are the faction logos stickers or tampos, Gok?

    No, they're stickers. You can choose either G1 or G2 logos. I went with G2 but stuck a G1 one on the jet pack; )

    When I remove my rose-tinted G1 bias glasses, I absolutely agree. But as a representation of the G1 character (which is a core appeal about the MP line for many collectors), I'd say that the original is better. But objectively speaking, looking at each toy on their own isolated merit as just toys, the G2 one does look nicer. My brain prefers G2, but my heart prefers G1.

    Aaah, such is the difference between going for toy-accuracy vs show-accuracy. Both the G1 and G2 Bumblebee toys have silver faces, but of course, Sunbow gave Bumblebee a white face in the cartoon. Could be weirder... they could make a comic-accurate MP Bumblebee with a yellow face!

    So my G2 Bee arrived yesterday, my excitement slightly soured by a cracked wheel, but otherwise very impressed with my first MP figure.

    For something that's smaller than a lot of my other figures, to have this much detail, arriculation and engineering is pretty astonishing.

    Quite happy with the tone and shininess of the paint job, going full G2 chrome would probably have been a little too over the top - there's just enough shiny to reflect the G2 origins, but not so much the paintjob is unrealistic.

    Colour me (mostly) happy

    Price of being a much smaller bot.

    I've found most of the MPs I have won't hold others' weapons, handle might be similar, but the groove/post thickness is off a little (only tried with Hot Rod, Lambor and Tracks)

    So to my eyes, while it seems to be the same type of grip system in use, each bot's weapons are designed for them alone.
