Because the MP is better
But I do welcome the discussion. Price/"what you get" both the ER and MP are pretty close, but in the end the MP gives you more for more (unlike say, the MP 11 Seeker mold or MP Bee version 3 and even Shockwave to an extent).
Ah, Shockwave. If his knees bent at least 90 degrees I'd say he was pretty good for what he is (granted it's tricky to make a bad looking Shockwave toy as his design is just fundamentally great) but 60 degree knees on an MP is just pants.
Oh yes, Sunstreaker! I will say I kinda wish they'd made the car back swapping gimmick by just swapping out parts rather than having the whole thing transform. Like, you'd have a backpack for the "Cosmo Countach" and one for the regular car- neither would need removing or partsforming for regular transformation from car to robot and back, but you'd swap them out if you wanted to change the look. It'd have made engineering the figure much easier, would have reduced the backpack messiness and would have (probably) made the figure more affordable too. I also don't much care for the grey face instead of silver, but that's more me disliking the overly toony look of modern MPs rather than an objective criticism.
