My Ratchet finally arrived!
He spent some time in the Japanese post office for some reason, but he's finally here.
MP-30 is my first retooled figure since MP-19 Smokescreen (2013.) We've had a string of original molds. But I'm fine with it, he was a prominent character on the show; and besides, MP Ironhide and Ratchet look so good it's ridiculous.
My only complaint is (again) the stickers. I want tampos!! Wish they had tampoed the cross with the Autobot symbol, or did a slightly altered regular red cross (or whatever.) I gotta figure out what to do with his bare shoulders. Won't be applying the stickers right now.
Speaking of shoulders, did the fandom reach a verdict about the shoulder configuration? Which is correct? Or more importantly, which is better? I haven't transformed MP-30 back into a van yet to see if he's gappy.
btw, transformed Wheeljack from Lancia back to robot to put next to Ratchet, that's one complex figure. I love that Ratchet is packed with so many accessories to share with Wheeljack. :D
