MP (Not)Overdrive has finally arrived!

It seems like a lifetime ago that I preordered all three 3P Omnibots but finally Overdrive has arrived! He's a great looking addition to the MP ranks, with some real heft. Lots of diecast, not too many really fiddly bits, and the fit and finish is outstanding. TONS of paint, all of the...

ONE ZILLION PERCENT THIS!

Canceled my Amazon.jp order and ordered from BBTS. Nice that we've come to the point where the prices are basically the same whether you buy direct or not with the added benefit of cheaper shipping.

Joe sounds like a lot of fun.

You missed the "half-the-size" part. I mean, you can compare anything to anything I suppose but is there much value in it? Would you compare Masterpiece Prime to Core Prime? SURPRISE- one is way cheaper than the other! 🤣 And so we're not carrying on the convo in two different threads... But...

The 3Ps are literally half the size. How are they comparable?

I'm not sure why you bothered cross-posting it with the 3P versions; they're literally half the size of the official toy, so it makes sense they're half the price.

All I can think is this one will really mess with the "I had that exact one as a kid" folks. :D

Whoa that's crazy. I completely missed the part where he's an all-new mold (or nearly so). I assumed it was just an updated version of what we've had so far and stopped paying attention... they're going to get me to buy him a third time aren't they?

That's what Fero is saying - this SS's forearms don't look blue in the pic. And he is a little off - like, the intakes are just poking out from behind the shoulders without any of the normal accompanying red. I found this page from the comic and he looks more normal. That cover art is a strange...

I went ahead and ordered the animation version. I have Encore Prime w/trailer plus my complete original trailer, so I've got a spare if I decide he really needs it. If this trailer did something new or unusual, I might have gone for it, but otherwise I'm good. Now to see if these show up on...

It's Starscream from the MLP crossover comic (Google image search ftw).

AND a Bigfoot!

As usual, he does a great job of striking to the heart. :D That being said, I remain far more philosophical about it. I never bought Unicron to convert him. He was always a display piece and the knowledge that he can convert is sufficient. Bigger isn't always better, but it is still bigger, and...

For me, the win is definitely in the individual bot-modes, but they're never not going to be combined so it certainly isn't worth a double dip. I would've been far more tempted by a G2 box set.

I think it's mostly money. It's tough to redo a relatively modern line without it. All the updates to older properties are one thing, and the G1ification of Prime and Animated is doing something different. But WfC is just not that long ago, and the original figures were decent. Throw in today's...

Oh you're right!

That's wild that it's funded already - it took the Thundertank way longer.

Yeah, both MPs of Megs and his G1 Encore version.
