    Maybe @M'Kyuun is right and it is the gray color that brings out the greeble much more, or it’s because my mind associates Studio Series 86 Prime with MP-44 (which is super smooth), but in my minds eye 86 Megatron is a greebly mess, whereas 86 Prime is G1 cartoon smoothness; odd. Thank you for the comparison picture.

    What I find more confusing is that this Megatron doesn’t match with Studio Series 86 Optimus. Optimus has a sleek G1 cartoon design while Megatron has a lot of greebling going on. Megatron almost looks like he is from a different line (like Power of the Primes). I wonder if the knock off of this Megatron will smooth out some of the surface detail in order to make it more aligned with the animation. If only NewAge had waited a couple of weeks before they went into production with their Megatron…

    I would loved to have a new color and markings scheme for the Providence not just a new base. This is right in the uncanny valley of variants for me. Different to what I already have but not different enough to warrant a purchase; I’m torn.

    I preordered AMT Predaking and Missing Link Nemesis Prime today. Predaking will go on my Super Robot shelf next to Amakuni Genesis GaoGaiGar, the Arcadia DYRL? SDF-1 and the SoC Gunbuster. Nemesis Prime will be an interesting experience. To this day I never experienced G1 Optimus so I’m looking forward to it (I could have done without the trailer though). I didn’t plan to go in on the Missing Link line but now with Cliffjumper and Nemesis Prime two of my go to characters are either out or announced, so I’m looking forward to ML Skywarp, Galvatron, Cyclonus and Laserwave.

    Hacchaka’s review of the GFFMC Deathscythe Hell Rousette version : https://hacchaka.net/archives/52123425.html

    I’m very excited about the AMT Predaking but for that price I’m expecting a high quality collectible from Takara. No bare plastic, no hollow feeling toys, no mushy paint apps, no shoddy construction in the joints that have marred other collector lines from Takara in the past (especially the Masterpiece/MPG line). From what I’ve seen in reviews of the AMT Rodimus the paint apps have not been the best so I’m a little bit anxious about Predaking. I would have liked to experience the AMT line with a cheaper entry first but I have no desire to own Rodimus since I have the (imho) superior Kuro Kara Kuri one.

    That’s great that you like it. To you have the Menasor and Superion too? How do they compare to Devastator?

    The black block is probably the one thing that sticks out most to me. The thing with the legs is understandable but the way they implemented it looks like someone forgot to slide it all the way. I think with a different sculpt in that area it would look less egregious.

    What are you impressed by? My eyes are always drawn to the black cavity in his chest (that is the top Hooks head right?) and the odd connection between the thighs and the feet (it looks like Scrapper should slide a couple of mm inwards).

    Do we already know when the Nemesis Prime will be available for preorder? Also someone on TFW floated around the idea that Nemesis Prime only has the messed up face sculpt so that Hasbro can release a "normal" Armada Nemesis Prime with regular head sculpt, trailer and maybe a more traditional Nemesis Prime color scheme. Which I would welcome…

    Since it is specifically Takara as the licensor they might not care for a G1 Jetfire since, to my knowledge, Jetfire was never released in Japan. Also since we don’t know what specifically they licensed from Harmony Gold it could be that they don’t have the license for Macross (and this showing a mecha from Mospeada).

    Just watched the Gundam Wing 30th anniversary clip on YouTube: I wonder if we will get new Gundam Wing suits in the Metal Composite Fix Figuration line this year. My favorite would be the EW Heavy Arms Customs, followed by the Sandrock Custom and the Altron Gundam.

    Luckily they got most of the complex engineering already laid out for them. From the Mospeada prototype Takara seems to be staying true to their MO, producing playable toys instead if ultra expensive collector pieces.

    Boo on that Nemesis Prime. No trailer is disappointing, no "normal" head sculpt an oversight and the price tag is steep. And while the main color layout is not wrong like on the latest RiD Scourge it is too light (maybe it will look better in hand under less bright lights).

    I wanted to put more money into my retirement funds anyhow.
