Another HK-TF member redfish also revealed the flip up communicator screens for MP1B will be Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime and Optimus Prime.
Same as Masterpiece 1 Optimus Prime, the box of MP1B can also fold up to form the trailer for Convoy Black Version.

I know a lot of people complained abt this. Recently i managed to dig out my old first issue MP Optimus, and i look into his chest panel.... In fact it doesnt really align even that first production...
Anyway i dont really bother abt that....

Yeah, faction logo is molded.... Business point of view it is not cost effective to remold the thing in order to call him Nemesis Prime...
Thats why it is just straight repaint and called him a clone of convoy.... In fact many of them according to the comic...

Except that he's not evil. He's the same Convoy/Optimus Prime that we all know and like. Just in his Black Body upgrade (again).cannonfodder4000 wrote:Diem wrote:Wonder what colour his Matrix is...

In the story, he had Wheeljack and Ga'mede create 21 duplicates of his Black Bodied self to help him fight against Galvatron II. This figure must then represent one of those 21 "Eldedroids". But it's still not evil.--B-- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Except that he's not evil. He's the same Convoy/Optimus Prime that we all know and like.

What I wanna know is, if he's also talking to Rodimus Prime, does that mean that Rodimus is still alive? And how did he get the Matrix back? Last we saw him he was his Hot Rod self again as a Micromaster. How/why did he lose the Matrix and how did he get it back? And why does he have it if Optimus is back? So many questions brought up by one image.

Don't they charge you at the time of order? How do you cancel...do they just refund your account?

I hope all the retailers include the comic and Autobot logo.
My E-Hobby Omega City Gardian came with the comic, but G1 Sunstorm did not. Both were purchased from BBTS.

Hey I apozigize if Im getting a little off topic but I see this forum is getting alot of views so I wanted to ask a question:
Does anybody have any solutions to make decals stick that wont hold ??? Of course without permantaly damaging the plastic. I just bought the Toys-R-Us Insecticons and some decals keep peeling off. I tried rubber cement but this does not work. Anybody have a fix for this common problem ??? Please let me know...Thanks

I pre-ordered with Robot Kingdom and they do charge you up front for pre-orders. However, I just sent them an e-mail to cancel the order and they refunded me via Paypal.

possibly glare from a funny angle / slightly shopped / paint is slightly irredescent.
HARK!!! do i see chest panels lining up?

I still must refuse to want this figure, as awesome as it looks.
Posted by DevastaTTor on November 26th, 2009 @ 8:09am CST
I must say though, it's looking better all the time and I feel somewhat better spending 150 on this then I did on Grimlock. At least this guy PROBABLY won't show up in the US next year.

Yup just noticed the charge and the addition of him to my pile. Waiting on a few other items to come in before I have him shipped.

My version did NOT come with the comic, so I don't know if it's bootleg or whatever, but I've heard of a version without a comic from this board or something.
It's also smaller than I remember. Then again, maybe I've gotten bigger since I last saw a Masterpiece Prime mold.

Plastic pop off that you mentioned i guess is common, mine is like that too.
Yours shd be Hong Kong Version. It shd come with metal plate. Comic version is only for Japan version, release in January 2010.
Size wise is the same as old MP1 or MP4.

Ah, well. I suppose someone will just scan the comic and put it on the internet anyway.
I thought MP01B was supposed to be an e-hobby exclusive? But there's a Hong Kong version too? With my luck, there will eventually be a U.S. version for $60 USD one day.

For some strange reason though, I simply must have one of those little black bags with the Autobot symbol.
