This is my issue as well. Anytime anyone points out a clear issue or attitude the staff have, the only thing they retort with is "well if you're so critical, just join the staff and solve the issues yourselves". Most of us are not in a position to do so, but also enjoy a well updated fandom site for Transformers. That's the equivalent of some people arguing you can't criticize a movie unless you Make better movies yourself. its just a clear way of deflecting apparent issues.

It's not, it really is not. And it's not like having to make a movie either. Unlike a movie, you have all the same tools we have at your disposal.

I am writing this here and it goes for everyone. If there is a story you want to share with us, you could write a post in the thread and write it similarly to how it would show up on the front page. So more than just a one sentence post saying "here's a video". You include the source, make it nice and finished, just like any front page article. You can then send us a message (link at top of the site and even in my signature) that you have written a post about something newsworthy. We will then publish it for you on the front page with your name and everything. There is 0 commitment to doing it daily or even monthly. Just do that when you want to help us and the community out.

Sabrblade does it, for instance, as do others like D-Max who did exactly that in this very thread in the last page, and we are thankful. You can too if you want. We can all work together to make this the site you want to visit.

Love you all!

Except for you MPM-12 alt mode, you I do not love.

True!

If you spot something newsworthy, write the complete (as best as you can) article yourself. Then even if I am at work, doing some light editing and newsing the article under your name will be quite easy and effective.

We are all unpaid volunteers who does this for the love of the hobby after all.

I can't stress enough what these two have said. While I sadly haven't been around too much due to IRL commitments, all the staff here are trying their best to make Seibertron the place we all want it to be.

For the record, my MPM Prime came from Target.com, I have not seen it in stores.

Having continued to mess with him, the robot mode was so clearly the target here, it is just so good and really tight. I wish the alt mode had gotten the extra budget it needed to be as good

IMO, still MUCH better than MPM-4's alt mode.. that figure had so many gapping/tabbing issues.

MPM-12 doesn't appear to have the same issues, or at least my copy doesn't, he feels more solid, and the bot mode is fantastic!

Oh robot mode is fantastic, of that there is no doubt.

I think the back of the truck is way too long and out of proportion. I think it looks worse than MPM4 because while that one had gaps in the truck hood area, this one looks weirdly long and the back wheels too small due to the proportions

I agree with you about the length, and the truck/wheel proportions, but I can't overlook the gapping issues in MPM-4. The character is supposedly Masterpiece, and sold at Masterpiece price, but the quality just wasn't there. MPM-12 feels more solid to me, his tabbing is superior, and need I say again, his bot mode is fantastic! lol Also, after 15 transformations, I don't feel like any plastic will break (MPM-4 felt a little brittle imo)

Dropping more pics because this guy is still fun to mess with

[First-Aid]

Man I wish I could find this guy

Can't find a common MPM thread, but we now have store exclusive listings for 2022 (same source as the other recent listings) - among the Target exclusives is a listing for an MPM Blackout!

An MPM Blackout would be VERY interesting... and surely expensive like MPM '07 Megatron at the very least.
