   FYI – Those iGear Raptor Squadron set is NOT the based on the MP Starscream mold, they were completely new molds. The iGear Masterpieces came out in 2011 and go for a lot more then expensive than the Raptor toys. The 2011 iGear Masterpiece set got for a LOT more than the Raptors. http://www.ebay.com/itm/iGear-Transformers-Masterpiece-Coneheads-PP03A-Thrust-PP03J-Ramjet-PP03E-Dirge-/191723715637?hash=item2ca39fbc35:g:gN8AAOSwhcJWLRaE

     Wow, talk about missing the boat on the whole ramjet/iGear conehead talk. Brutal. Thank you Ignash for pointing that out. I felt like screaming (SHUT THE FUCK UP YOSHI)….but that obviously wouldn’t do anything and he’s just going off Daryl’s terrible miss information..

     DARYL……..WTF!

     The iGear masterpiece like cone-head used to command almost $2000-$2500 USD at there peak. The price has dropped a lot as Ignashed pointed out with the announcement of that other 3rd part company who is planning on making them.

     Now with the Takara announcement the market on those iGears are going to tank even more.

     oH…as for comics. I told my local shop to order me 5 of the blank covers….tehy only received in total….and I bought them all.

   About Ramjet/Masterpiece cheating at 22:40. I haven’t held or transformed an MP10 Optimus Prime but I remember a review video showing his transformation and I think there was some cheating with the front grill? There is a hidden grill that actually becomes the truck’s front.
   Is MP Optimus a cheating cheater or do I remember it wrong?

     You’re correct, Toni.
     MP-10 has a fake grill that forms Prime’s abs and sits on the undercarriage in truck mode.
     It makes for a much better cartoon accuracy in both modes. Since cartoon accuracy is usually the Masterpiece M.O.
     Looking at my MP-11 Starsky, the nose-cone just cannot get into the correct head position. Even if it did, it wouldn’t look ‘right’ in terms of his animation model.

   Thanks to the DT, we know HASBRO really still put Computron on agenda(even they will be redecos) —— my humble question is: will HASBRO release Computron’s archrival Abominus through CW line?
