What is the general opinion on the MPM Autobots? I love the Decepticons, but the Autobots look a bit funky in images and not sure if I want to fork out the massive prices to get the five of them, but also seems weird only getting the Decepticon ones! Any opinions appreciated!
I own all 5, so here is a quick rundown:
Prime: He is a fantastic robot, but sucks as a transformer. The front end will not line up without a lot of luck and work in alt mode, and the transformation is really involved. Think overengineered RotF leader.
Bee: Really good all around, a bit tricky to transform, but he makes sense and is a lot of fun.
Ironhide: he has material issues with the way the shoulders work, so he can be difficult to work with in robot mode, unless you can get a hold of his upgrade kit that makes him much more solid in the torso and shoulder area.
Ratchet: really solid, his backpack is a little big, but not huge, and it is basically movie accurate in detail. Really solid as well, and probably the most fun to transform of the lot.
Jazz: the best of the lot, lots of fun stuff to do with him, really well painted, transformation is also pretty good and he is so movie accurate it's awesome. A must get.
