After seeing this picture, I don't want to pay more than $35 for MP12

does mp prime have rubber wheels? ALL masterpiece figures should have rubber wheels...

[brr-icy]

Prime does

[Ozrein]

I think it looks awesome. Sure it's a bit smaller than I had anticipated but not by much. And while Hasbro may be able to sell it between 40 and 50, I cant see them being able to sell it for much less with the Lambo liscence.

That and I'm doubtful that they'll even bring it over. Soundwave yes, Sideswipe and Red Alert, not so much, imo.

agreed, even the Jets should have it.

MP 12 Figure 20 + Ferrari Logo 65 = $85

So this is pretty much what Alternators and Titanium was trying to accomplish

How is this in size comparison to Alternators? What about Alternity figures?

Both bot and vehicle modes.

[SleeplessKnight]

The vehicle mode looks to be much smaller than the Alternators 1/24th scale but bigger than Alternitys 1/32 scale.

But the robot mode is only a tiny bit smaller than the Alternators but a bit bigger than the Alternitys.

I believe this to be independently scaled in relation to MP-10

No they shouldn't.

As someone who has a significant amount of rubber in their collection, I can say that it is the most gut wrenching material to have on expensive collectibles.

Every time I pick up any of my vintage Transformers I wonder if today will be the day that the tires will crack or crumble. I worry if my Hot Toys Batman figures will leak, melt or crack. I wonder if the tires on my 1/6 Tumbler are eating away at the table it is on or if I put it on plastic will it fuse with that instead.

Cleaning them is a pain too, especially if you have a dog or a cat.

If done right, I am all for plastic tires. Sure they might not sound as smooth as rubber on a hard surface, but why the hell would a grown man care about that anyway? It's not something any 5 year old would care about. It's not like we demand automobile paint on our toys or glass for windows, so why is that expectation there for rubber?
