I consider MP-44 to be a revolting abomination that should never have been allowed past the art phase. I despise it so much that IMO reissues of something as clunky as Armada Side Swipe would have been a better use of the plastic.
I think the molds for both MP-44 and MP-45 should be smashed with hammers, melted down, and the metal re-cut as something actually worthwhile, like replacement molds for the Autobot Brothers from RiD.

Still this guy, but in truck-mode -- aligned to perfection, even the fuel-tanks. I'm actually a little proud. :lol:

He's beautiful but way complicated, everything must be done exactly right or the truck will be a mess. Last time that I transformed him was in Sep 2019. #-o

I figured I had to do it otherwise it's just a pretty Action Master.

MP-44 is not to my tastes, but damn CP, you make him look good ;)^

Is that the one that has a slightly different transformation? I've seen one that moves the arm kibble to the backpack.

I brought him home for the pandemic, and he might join my other MPs on their shelf, he misses his friends

The team is almost complete, I need some Frenzy. Still bummed the spy patrol 3rd unit doesn't include Buzzsaw

Not going lie to ya though, still going display Siegewave with the TR Frumbles for scale reasons. ;)^

Nice. For a split second I thought it was MP Soundwave. Mine's in tape deck mode; yeah, MP-13 is from an era when you could still transform MPs in front of the TV.

I miss that era, but Siege/ER does a good job of filling in the "mini MP that's still fun to play with" need.

EDIT: that pic is not too different then how I have my MP SW displayed with Ratbat.

Ratchet looks great.

Yeah, Siege was good and EarthRise looks promising, too.

Using MP-10 because transforming MP-44 into semi-truck took so much effort, I'ma keep and appreciate him like that for a while. (And MP-10's still cool.)

Am I the only one who finds MP-44 and 45 useless, revolting, and a waste of plastic? :SICK:

No, no you are not. I quite agree. Screw the Roger Rabbit MPs.

These two have been parked on my desk for the last couple days, my Studio Series favorites of their respective size classes! (Starscream is about tied with Ironhide, though).
