Finally got it done... Had to time lapse the transformation. It takes a while.  The music featured is by my band. Anyway, here it is.. |

Love the truck eyebrows feature and the robot mode looks cool, but there's something really cheap-looking about the truck-mode. It was the same with the first movie version. Those grey areas really need a black wash over them or something.
Do the fingers move in bot-mode at all? It looks like the fists are open so if they don't I'm calling shenanigans on Hasbro.
I added you on youtube by the by!

I added you on youtube by the by! The truck looks excellent, I think. As good as the alternators quality. The pics are misleading. It does look like they can be opened and closed like the MP series, but they're solid plastic. Not sure what the gaps are for... |

Good point. Didn't think of that. Couldn't see much in the way of tabs that Jetfires pieces would attach to though. |

Anyone know if the blades detatch?? Not too keen on them blocking poses when hidden.
prefer the cannon on original that can slide over fist and also detach for optional blade.
Will have to compere the first version with this one when Takara version arrives,might see if i can switch hands and othe parts to make perfect hybrid.

To be honest, the voice chip means nothing to me really. Aren't fault ones usually worth more in the long run?

Deadly. The dual guns look cool but a custom gun or master piece gun might fit in his hand.

Megatron is more Silvers,metals and bronzes in Takara version. Wish the Voyager version had been bumped up to leader class,that looks deadly.

Have to say I got this guy myself when he first came out, only gripe I have about it is that theres two versions of him one that just says "Optimus Prime" and the american one says " I am Optimus Prime" Im thinking the euro version got trimmed down to the just saying his name cuse of translation or whatever else. This prime is really cool though i dont mind the blades but they could have made em removable which would have been good. Me being who I am though I wanted rid of the cheapy plastic look and opted for a more movie weathered look. Ive seen repaints of this online and it looks really good if done right. Here's afew pics of what I did anyways. added the silver trim to the flames weathered it to god knows what. I didnt really touch any of the truck panels just the body parts and whatnot as last thing i want is a beaten up truck mode. just a slightly beaten robot was what i was going for. I still havent finished with him ive afew other areas to redo and actually paint. Overall though id recomend anyone to repaint it it really brings out the detail in it quite abit, Im actually amazed hasbro have crammed all that detail and effort into this i mean they did an outstanding job on it, looks movie accurate in both modes. And to boot the transformation is just insane. I dare anyone to transform this without cursing, every curse results in a shot of whiskey... good idea for a drinking game actually. hehe Attachments:
