:D
Mostly plastic as far as I can tell?
Ever so slight colour differences where the red paint is applied to the window and roof parts which also form part of the doors compared with the molded red plastic of the bonnet and rear engine cover, but not too obvious. :D

DSCN2041.JPG

The silver gun and rocket launcher pops off the top of the roof quite nicely, not too loose, not too stiff, just right. The gun is slotted into the rocket launcher which is pegged into the roof, but what is nice is once they are removed the hole contains what seems to be a spring-loaded cover which pops up once they are out!

We're gonna need guns.

DSCN2035.JPG
Lots of guns!

DSCN2036.JPG
Tough at the top!

DSCN2039.JPG
You wouldn't get a nine inch nail in my hole!

The rocket launcher is only one piece, so no seperate missile. Once attached to the robot modes shoulder the screwed hinge has a small amount of movement which would allow for some nice poses I guess!

If you can, could we see some pictures of him with the pile drivers and the "'Amazon' chromed thingbobs" please?! I don't think there have been many good up close ones.

I have him preordered and TFSource announced today that he should be shipping next week! I'm very excited and anxious to get him, but seeing your pics helps tide me over...a little! :grin:

Awesome pics! Thanks!

Mine is on pre-order, but I'll have to leave him in POL for a month or so... So these pics will have to tide me over for a while...

MP-12 looks rather nice in alt mode, I almost feel afraid to transform him! :lol:

For the price I got him for, oh so definately worth it! Less than £50 off Ebay delivered from China, you cant go wrong! :grin:
He is small but I only have him in alt/vehicle mode at the moment. I have taken a couple of pictures with him along side Universe Chevy Aveo Swerve which just arrive yesterday (OMG!!), also with Alternator Mirage standing nearby!
DSCN2064.JPG
Here I am!

When I say 'small', in vehicle alt mode he looks relatevly scaled okay against Chevy Swerve, so I guess once I transform him he'll be up against the larger Deluxe but better against Voyager/Alternator-Binaltech sizing? I see now that the current Materpiece sizing will work well alongside the Alernator/Binaltech lines perhaps?

I am really surprised and pleased he arrived today as I hadnt heard he was shipping yet?
I am off to bed now, but when I get home from work tomorrow I will pop a few more pictures up on this thread, transformed in his full glory! ;)

that's pretty awesome. honestly, he is expensive for the size of him...BUT so are a lot of toys made by other companies that aren't quite as nice looking as this. Looking forward to robot mode pics and size comparisons please!?

Please PM if you have (or know of) the following at a reasonable price: Classics or Henkei Prowl, Astrotrain, Ramjet, Skywarp, Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, Blurr, Perceptor, GDO Wheelie and Springer, or 3rd Party Motobot Arcee, FP Springer, iGear Ratchet and Ironhide, City Commander (and/or Ultra Magnus), Starscream (deluxe) Coronation add-on, or Spike and Daniel in their Exo-Suits.

Can't wait for mine to arrive at the local hobby store!

A bit of panel lining, and that shoulder cannon would look even more awesome.
