I never said I dont collect season 1-2 characters. I just said I prefer seasons 3-4 better. If I was going to start a collection of upsized MP scale figures, it would have to be at least the 1986 movie cast. The seasons 1-2 cast just doesnt wow me in the same way. I know they have always been the fan favorites, but not for me personally. Clecting season 1 characters all over again seems pretty redundant. Fillers for my huge classics shelf are much more exciting to me.

So,Basically your saying if HasTak makes MP TF toys from the 1986 cast you would buy them. I gotta ask the Million dollar question. Did you buy the HasTak MP TF toy for Rodimus Prime,Hot Rod?

If hastak COMMITTED to making the whole 1986 cast, I would be interested in buying them. But no cheap shortcuts like Us relase not getting a trailer which is why I didnt buy Mp Rodimus at TRU. I heard the takara version was plagued with problems that hasbro fixed. But no trailer, no deal.

Your full of excuses.

There were Three versions of MP-09 mold that got released. The First version That was full of problems. 2.0 which Takara fixed the problems & released it in Japan. The third version added newer elbow joints that were loose on the 2.0 mold. The Third Version was released with the Trailer,in the Takara colors & released near the Hing Kong region. The Third version was Also released by Hasbro in America minus the Trailer.

X has justified his opinions on MP well. Can we leave this conversation and get back to talking about Cybertronian BB?

I think the whole MP discussion came about because it was hinted at this product being MP. Did I misread that? Have we any indication of a size of Cupid?

No excuses, just being honest. I had the Hasbro version in my hands. I just couldn't pull the trigger. At the time Takara's "fixed" version of MP-09 was out, MP-10 was already being teased. MP-10 redefined the MP scale and made MP-09 nothing more than a huge stand alone piece. (especially in alt mode) So why even bother buying MP-09 ? I like whole casts, not stand alone figures.

But if it's excuses you desire...

Here's 75% of my classics collection. I'm still trying to clean out the white shelf on the left to make room for the other 25%. And then there's the characters I don't have yet. Classics lines are full of G1 variety. It seems to be a bit regressive to go back to the "were finally getting Bumblebee" stage that MP collectors are now experiencing.



And yes I have some oversized Bayformer toys. They don't fall under my strict classics scale guidelines. They just look cool and sit on the top shelves.

MP-09 is not a stand alone figure. MP-09 scales well with other MP figures minus MP-01 & MP-05.

MP-09 & MP-10 are the same height in robot mode. MP-10 & MP-09 both have trailers & are the same scale in vehicle mode.

If you're using MP-09 as Hot Rod (before getting the matrix), then he is way too big scaled next to MP-10. If youre using MP-09 as Rodimus Prime (with the matrix), then they scale together properly. And the alt mode is screwed as Hot Rod. The new MP cars are all smaller.

Every time you guys post about MPs in this thread, Unicron crushes a puppy.

Every time you guys post about GRR's Cupid, a Prime gets its matrix.

The choice is yours, and yours alone (and maybe a Mod's).

Looking forward to a color proto of Cupid.

Tsutsukakushi keeps putting a gun to my head because he hates puppies.

I am looking forward to seeing Cupid in color. Maybe GRR can do a Cybertronian Wheeljack next to go with him.

Yes, yes, oh God please YESSSS!

Seriously, that would be amazing and probably pretty feasible too given how similar the overall shape of his Cybertronian form is to his G1 alt mode.
