I was wondering if anyone had a picture or are aware of a link to one of a mouth-gardless MP-01.
I have read that there is one and I can almost see it on mine but I really don't want to take it apart just to see.

any help w/ this would be appreciated

Was that intentional? The homage to the comic book that is.

Yes, it was intentional. It's from the same people who put a steering wheel and seats in MP-09 Rodimus' crotch just because that's how Floro Dery original thought Hot Rod should transform and tried to made MP-05 Megatron have an opening chest.

Hey waitaminute! The seats and steering wheel are at the crotch area?Pardon the questions 'cause I do not own an MP Rodimus yet.

Floro Dery designed that at the crotch area? The "Star of Cybertron" planned inclusion in Megatron's chest, that I can confirm in one of my TF mooks.

The animation studio AKOM even colored his crotch like his windshield. Unsurprisingly, this has never been duplicated on any toy, although the Masterpiece version makes a nod to it with a transparent groin plate with indentations underneath denoting two seats and a steering wheel.

The steeling wheel is on the right side at the top (the drivers side in Japan.)
