Same here. To be totally honest, I can't believe third-party companies haven't taken that opportunity.

Well... MMC's releases, if not that scale, are MP quality, right?

In any case while MTMTE/LL are pretty popular I don't think they're that popular enough for third parties to make a lot of profit off of MPs. The only real reasons they make money, imo, is because it's ongoing fiction without a direct accompanying toyline... and a lot of people just think Tarn looks friggin' awesome.

Oh hell yeah he does. Kultur Tarn will be mine...eventually...!

But yeah, MMC's stuff does count, I was just surprised there wasn't more than that. But you're right, that makes sense.

Ah, the best time of the month: Cyberpath falls (Again) for MP10-week.

I'm having an absolute blast with this MP Acid Rain. I can already feel my wallet lighten as I browse the galleries of the other MP Decepticons.

This feels right.

I like how it's designed to fit there.

The gang. Bring on Apeface and Snapdargon!

I found a use for Weirdwolf's oversized stock gun..

Word, BH Shockwave is awesome. Pretty much spot on matches the show, big, imposing, pointy and just plain scary looking. That was a good trade you made.

The underappreciated MP-25...

Very Tracks-y pose!

By the way, need suggestions. Normally I'd ask in the proper thread, but I'm sure most of the Prime ones are long gone, so...PM the solutions to me, I guess?...anyway, first up, hose/tank tread. Would there be any way to re-shape it, like with a blow drier or something? Second, the hip ratchets have CW syndrome. Normal is standing way too straight, one click out is way too wide. How do I fix that?

OVERLORD!

(Also, please see my previous post.)

SniggitySNAP Sigma!! Awesome stuff!!

I've heard hot water is also good for reshaping that hose and other soft plastics? As for the ratchets, check Shapeways for potential replacements possibly..

Now I have to get ol TFP Shocky outta storage.... :lol:

I'm kinda considering MMC's Tyrantron over Megz 2.0......mainly cuz it's about $100 cheaper, and I'm very happy with their QC.

They also strive for complete accuracy, as seen also with Tarn!
