Does anyone want to buy MP-01 Optimus Prime? I have a loose one in perfect condition that I'd love to sell. He has never even been transformed, not even once.

He fetches a pretty decent eBay price; sentiment is the only thing that stops me from selling mine. I transformed him again recently for the first time in a long time, and I was surprised at how crappy his truck mode is.

Yeah really, unless it's some $1000+ ultra collectible I don't see the point of keeping things boxed up.

If they make a decent Leader Optimus with a trailer for Generations it negates any need for the MP ones.

No. I will no doubt require an optimus in scale with my leader ultra magnus, assuming they are in scale with each other in both modes.

Leader (I will settle for voyager) rodimus would be amazing. Id settle for the cloud rodimus/springer but will never find it cost effective.

I think voyager would be better, megatron and Magnus tend to dwarf rodimus. Even deluxe would be fine.

I've said it before but just remold Animated Rodimus to be more IDW-y, Takara just did something like that to Anim. Blackarachnia to make her generations-y.

I would say yes because all the 1984 Decepticons and Autobots are released in some form of generations....and Optimus' trailer being MIA really hurts the lineup.

I can't launch any of the legends guys to the moon like you could with the G1 trailer. :downs:

I would love to see a good updated Generations Optimus, especially with a trailer. I never really liked Classics Optimus because of his arm kibble. But since we just got Combiner Wars Optimus I doubt we'll see another one in the Generations style for a while. What I really want is an updated Powermaster Prime.

It's definitely doable (see Prime Arcee to Chromia), but something like that requires a really substantial remold, of like nearly every piece. Black Arachnia still looks really Animated in spider mode, she would need a lot more greebling to really fit in with Generations.

Not nail polish, but that acrylic floor finish people use might be your solution.

There is absolutely zero way that Animated Rodimus comes in under budget for modern deluxes unless they release a remold in unpainted, uncolored restic or something. It would be nice if they would anyway, but I don't think we're getting much non-CW this side of the water for a while.

I've been meaning to post on this: Apparently the reason this stuff is so weird to find in stores is they have been gradually rebranding it year after year to bring it under the Pledge label.

You just linked an MLP clip, I'm sure it's not the only reason, Taint.

I'd say a larger Hotrod is probably coming. But here's a crazy idea they take the abandoned concept of G1 Truck Rodimus Prime and have it be a retooled magnus because both toys had a similar transformation.

And the Tiny Minimus Ambus figure will be Hotrod and the big robot will be Rodimus Prime. You therefore get both incarnations.

Then again I kinda want a G1 Accurate Winnebago with red flames and chrome pipes that transforms into a full on robot. I mean everyone from the movie has so far gotten their own molds as far as autobots go.

It also makes a good protective gloss coat for paint jobs on miniatures. Works for normal brushes and airbrushes. Good for thinning down paints to make glazes. It's clearly alien technology.

Are you rinsing them in warm water and letting them air dry before priming? What type of primer are you using? Also it might just be a bad batch of resin. Sometimes the formula doesn't set properly and it seeps out oil over time.

Edit: Also Blackheart my Fox Kids Transmetal Rattrap envies your figures. One of his butt-wheels is missing over half its chrome.

It's the loving hard edges on Jetfire's weapons. It happened right out of the box, chrome just flaked a little bit off on half his guns.

I've never noticed it happening else where. Maybe I'll try to figure out a touch up and then seal them with pledge.

Oh I did a poo poo priming job, I bought a couple packs of mantic Elves to get back into painting and I'm working through the first batch. I think the biggest issue is I didn't lay down enough primer, but I did wash/dry them and then leave the primer to set for a couple 72 hours.

Haven't actually put primer on anything from PP yet.
