For those interested, here's my video showing how to do the replacement of the Transformer Masterpiece MP-9B knee joints to the new diecast metal ones.

Such a small change that makes a massive difference to the figure! I can actually move and transform this sucker now!!! YEAH!!!

I never thought I'd be able to do this pose with my MP-9B Black Rodimus!! Until now!!

So happy that I got these new diecast metal chrome plated knee joints from Robotkingdom, made by X2 Toys. Beautiful replacements for the very fragile plastic aqua joints on the original figure. So good that there is absolutely no risk of damage when articulating the joint, and that the joint fits in perfectly with the overall aesthetic of the figure, like it was always meant to have chrome knees!

I bought some of the teal colored replacements from someone on ebay, but if those don't work out, these look like a good next option.

I got replacement aqua joints from RK straight away when mine broke a couple years ago. But they were still very fragile (and you can see the cracks in them in my video). Good luck with your plastic replacements, but if it doesnt work out, then I can safely say these chrome diecast metal ones are awesome.

Diecast knee joints finally allowed me to transform this bad boy into his alt mode! And after a 50min, exceedingly frustrating transformation, he's finally there and all pegged in properly too!!

Love it the alt mode on MP Rodimus. The styling is just bad ass!
