That looks terrific. Love the mini-snarl. Have you considered swapping the upper legs between YOTH and Hasbro OP?

Thanks, there's always room for more MPs . That's pretty much all I'm collecting now.

I have 5 different WST Snarls. Good point about the leg swap. Actaully, I was considering doing that swap with MP-10B and YOTH Prime. I think that's a better fit, no?

They would suit MP10b too. That's actually a tough call. I don't have YOTH so fortunately, it's not a call I have to make.

Picked up the Hasbro Grimlock. Already had the earlier Hasbro release. I think I like the new one better (even with the green plastic clear bits). Something about the gray seems to evoke the cartoon.

Couple things. From what I've been reading, the green on the new MP Grimlock is because the transparent pieces have a blue tint. The gold underneath with blue on top create the illusion of green. Do you think that's true?

Also, if you are getting Scoria, the extra shoes he comes with will likely not match the new Hasbro MP Grimlock. The shoes are a perfect match for Takara MP-8. I guess I'll find out soon.

No way, it's green (although the theory makes sense). I had a close look after you mentioned it and it's for sure green...pretty sure I can still see colours.

No Scoria for me. Slag is an awesome dinobot, but IMO Scotia's alt. mode is wrong (front 1/2 is great, back 1/2 not so much).

I think Fans Toys hit it out of the part with Quakewave though so who knows.

Never had the Takara Grimlock, but those lifts that come with Scotia are a big draw. It would just suck to get the figure and have the lifts not fit.

Currently I just turn the insteps down and stand Grimy against a wall. Makes him just a little taller than MP10

I caved and ordered MP G2 Sideswipe. Told myself I didn't need him. That didn't last long. Now I have my eye on Soundblaster and Ratbat. :/

haha... I've got an eye out too, but I just want RatBat... I can't justify the price to have to buy MP Soundblaster for it.

I'm figuring he doesn't, but...
Does anyone know if MP Rodimus can fit in MP-10, or on MP-22?

Not inside MP10, probably not MP22.

[Masta_Skidz]

maybe on the top of mp 22
