I must say, the engineering on this version looks superb, if I cared about sunbrow accuracy I'd be all over it

Pretty sure such a thing will happen. However, the trailer-less Optimus will be in special wacky colors and sell for double the price of the regular with trailer one.

Because LOL Bape and other special repaints.

For me this guy definitely falls under the toon-accurate to a fault label. His proportions look off to me in a way I can't exactly pin down. Might be the shoulders.

It was always the case for me. As soon as I saw that the white strip of the cab mode only appeared in robot mode, I knew it took things too far, beyond the realm of even making sense within the Transformers world.

His arms are quite small relative to his torso, compounding this they are set further back on his body so you see more of the torso. I’d be interested to know if the proportion thing was specifically intended for show accuracy - without info to the contrary I assume it was.

I'm concerned with the crookedness of the antennas. A toy this expansive should have perfect antennas.

I was charged $326 after shipping for my fully loaded MP-44 from Amazon Japan. Better prices for this guy were out there, people just had to take advantage of them. Just wish they'd hurry and ship it.

Sigh, what now?


MP-44 コンボイの不良を発見してしまった。というかどの個体でもいつ起こってもおかしくない爆弾。膝の二重関節の下側、青い部分にクリックがあるんだけど、受けてる部分が薄くてすぐにナメちゃう強度しか無くてうちのは両膝とも死んでる…。買った人はここ絶対確認したほうがいいです。

Machine translation:

MP-44 I found a convoy defect. Rather, it ’s a bomb that is n’t strange to any individual. There is a click on the blue part under the double joint of the knee, but the part you are receiving is so thin that it has a strength that will give you a quick slack, and both of us are dead ... The person who bought it should definitely check here.

If you’re willing to pay $300 then you should’ve pre ordered off of Amazon japan back in December . I paid 326 with shipping.

I think this guy looks great. I skipped MP-10 and, as I'm starting to catch up on G1 masterpiece pieces, my MP-01 is starting to look a little out of place. And, I just got the new Megs (want to sell off my old Megs, if anyones interested...)So I sorta feel like I can justify grabbing this guy

...I just do not want the trailer, nor do I want to pay for it, which i most certainly am. It's kinda funny that I'm so anti-trailer, when I always wanted a trailer for my MP-01. Guess I just realized over time that, yeah it's complete, but, where am I really going to put it? Ah well, first world problems.
