Just bought both DMK-01 and DMK-02 [HAD to, as they were sold as a set] last weekend and I can't wait to build them. But one thing got me thinking.

As the title says, just where's the DUAL in these model kits? While I don't expect them to give us two individual frames for protoform and Earth mode, I'd like it if they at least gave us some different parts like a protoform head and some armor parts as an option to either build an Earth mode or protoform. Kind of like Bandai's Exia Repair version kit.

While Bee can still pull off a decent protoform mode without his armor, OP can't because the essential parts of his head are blue.

I realize you don't buy these kits to display them in protoform, but isn't the title a little misleading?

Sorry, rant complete.

I'm obviously totally mistaken. I thought it was a skeleton and the parts to build either Bee or Optimus. If that's not the case then I have no idea either.

Isn´t it just a case of random English words to make it all sound more techy?

That's what I thought at first, too. I guess we were both wrong. The "Dual" doesn't seem to mean anything, unless they're implying that you can choose to display the skeleton with no added parts, which would be kind of lame.

So I guess the general consensus is that the Japanese dudes at Takara just made this name up to make it sound cool?

Couldn't they have just called it Perfect Accuracy Model Kit, or just Perfection Model Kit?

On the other hand, considering how the Japanese came up with "Breast Force" TF's....
