And I love it just the same.....Cosmic Rust and all. Seriously, haven't transformed him.....EVER! And won't even sell him come h#ll and high water....won't sell my MP-05 Megs! Heck, I even got myself the "Reflector" accessory ....and try to do the "Killing Joke" pose.

Gotta agree with Star Saber. That thing is everything

And here I sit with not a single MP to my name



So I have nothing to contribute other than: MP Star Saber blew my mind with all of his intricate gimmicks and storage when I watched the video reviews of him, something that hasn't since MP 1 came out to US retail

There was a previous article where on of the designers of MP showed his Galvatron cel item. Back then, without dvds/bds they had to depend on the cel when they design G1 figs.

That being said, Star Saber is nearly a virtual carbon copy of the anime version. heck, if you saw the original SS and his art in TF Generations mook and compared to the anime, there were a lot of liberties taken in his transition to anime compared to the G1 toy.

MP-24 is simply marvelous

Especially if you add this:

Well for being a bunch of oblong shapes that turn into a flying rectangle, I'm glad they went all out for every other aspect of him, it was amazing

Well ya see, I have none either. I just found the figure amazing, and he was so well recieved by reviewers too. He blew my mind

Yeah, he was amazing

Surely, the title should be "Top 5 Masterpiece Transformers", as "Best" is a superlative, and as such, does not require any modifiers?

To contrast, we would not write "Top 5 Worst Masterpiece Transformers".

Hope this helps.

The titles are written with google searches more in mind than proper grammer.

Eh, I don't mind the double superlative - and actually, I think I have seen a lot of listicles with top X worst in them.

How does that help? Usually, such extra words can be put into the " key words " section instead, right?

And to continue on my grammar Nazi crusade (which is precarious, considering I'm typing this on my phone, which will probably butcher my words anyway), isn't it "grammar"? "Grammer" is the surname for "Kelsey".

Is that 5 to 1 or 1 to 5?

Alright. I was gonna sell my MP-03 but after reading this I changed my mind. Thank you

Then my work is done

And anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure the MP03 Seekers are quite pricey these days. I look up what some of my pieces are worth from time to time for fun, not for the idea of selling and making money, but basically to go "phew... glad I'm not looking to add it to my collection for that price!". So if you got something good, hold on to it unless your collecting habits have severely changed.

I do that too. And like you say, it is all about the Phew, and not the need to sell. Because in case i didnt own it and I wanted it, that would be the amount of money I would have to fork out. Which is why I always get a bit sad when a toy breaks on me even ever so slightly. It means that I cant look at thoselistings and go Phew because they are for complete toys and not ones with some breakage

Oh and i bring up breakage since i broke my MP 03 Ghost Starscream.

Wait, are you two saying I can make a pretty penny off of my Hasbro mp03 skywarp?

Best to least best

Now that i have Ironhide, I may have to redo my top 5 (which I posted earlier). He is now my number 2 of all time.

How much paint is on Ironhide btw? Is it like everywhere there is red? If I were to want to get him or Ratchet, I wouldn't want to scuff him up on the first week.

I carry him around in my work bag to transform him in transit. He hasnt scratched yet. He is painted everywhere he needs to be and the colour match is so good that I cant tell what is cherry red plastic and what is cherry red paint.

Well Will, your lists seem to be in a state of flux lately. glad you like Ironhide and he qualifies for the list

Good to know. I'd love to hear updates on him to help me decide if I want to get him or not.
