>>6064259Some thoughts, he's a poseable mother fucker, yeah he may not mash up with older mp's in terms of detailing due to the whole anime accuracy, if anything the only way to bring him around is to use the chrome grill, but he looks amazing, a fair bit of him is painted as well.
Few little things to note, noticed some mold flash on his round head smiley face which I can pick off with a tooth pick, and that chrome dealy on the side of his head is a bitch, it was impeding his transformation, so bare in mind you need to fold the head wings all the way back but the chrome gun NEEDS to go forwards, or move him around until he ain't touching shit.
I was on the fence, ended up getting him (or rather last minute on amiami) just to see where grapple would go, and I am impressed, but because of that chromed head gu I say grapple would be slightly easier to transform.
Also be aware the chest has a slight chicken movement, transforming from truck to robot took 5 mins blind (no manual), back to truck took me 2+ hours because I wasn't sure about the truck front being able to do a chicken neck movement, I feel stupid but I did try at 5am and again several hours later
Also I thought my first pick of him would be with my possibly g2 sideswipe because dat face, but seems inferno really didn't like my shitty ko red alert at all.
>>6064263I guess they wanted the distinction, some of those 3p's do a better job but I guess takara wanted it, licensed mp prime 3.0 when?
>>6064264Artfire's paint job is more interesting, that is fact, my issue is he's hardly know, his stock pics show sticker, LITERAL stickers onto him and while they aren't mentioned in the box contents I need to wait for reviews on them being tampo's or factory applied stickers, that and do I need a third use of the mold, I know inferno best, grapple is to my ratchet (I like him better for colors), and because of all the sticker thing there is a *chance* he may end up on clearance.
