Not my words, I should add. But I love this piece on TFSource from Maz on his MP Megs dilemma (featuring a pic and a few words from yours truly). Pic below from Sixo.

That’s A Question You Should Ask Yourself
StandardScenes from both Transformers: The Movie and cartoon episode More Than Meets The Eye Part 2.
One Shall Stand
StandardI can see myself spending a lot of time recreating the fight scene from Transformers: The Movie…
I would have waited an eternity for this

REVIEW: Toyworld TW-M07 Spaceracer
StandardMy experience with Toyworld until now has been limited to the recent not-MP10 Primorion, which arrived in my early 2017 downtime and thus avoided review. But I’ll tell you now, I wouldn’t have been especially kind. Both modes look great, but the transformation is just horrendous, and there’s an inherent awkwardness to the bot. He would have been 3 stars, max. If he were any character other than Optimus he’d be off my shelf. So it probably goes without saying that my expectations for Spaceracer were tempered at best.
REVIEW: Fanstoys FT-10 Phoenix
StandardThanks to the very kind people at Kapow, I’ve been lucky enough to get some hands-on time with one of Fanstoys’ most anticipated upcoming releases, FT-10 Phoenix. A couple of peeps in the collecting circles I move in rubbed their hands with glee at the news, I think in preparation for an anticipated mauling. Well, there’s good news and bad news…

An early arrival
StandardThanks to the kind people at Kapow, I’ve been offered a chance to assess a pre-release figure for the first time – Fanstoys FT-10 Pheonix, their Masterpiece version of Jetfire/Skyfire. I’ll be preparing a full review this weekend, but in the interim…
Hasbro Masterpiece Shattered Glass MP-10 Optimus Prime
Standard
I’m probably not going to have time to write a review on this one. In short: He’s MP-10, so he’s great. At the same time it’s not as premium as it might be, and arguably the colour choices on the KO Shattered Glass are better, even if the build quality is almost definitely not. The lack of chrome on the grill and stacks is a shame. Still, I would give this 4 or 4.5 Stars, probably. It’s still awesome. Although not as awesome as that new Black Camo Bape MP-10, which the last time I checked was £380+ on eBay. FFS. Wow, these short reviews are a piece of piss! Time to re-write the style guide.
REVIEW: MMC Ocular Max PS-06 Terraegis
StandardOh what times are these when marginal characters such as Trailbreaker can be subject to third party toy wars. MMC’s Terraegis finds itself up against Badcube’s Speedbump for the place on your shelf you’re keeping warm for an official version, should we ever see it. Or could it be, we whisper to ourselves in darkened corners, that one of the would-be Trailbreakers is actually an is-be Trailbreaker? Yes, we’re kicking off 2017 with the very worst in word play.
