I think a lot of people, including myself, are skeptical about Kobayashi's return because Hasui has been doing such an amazing job. To be perfectly honest I never have been a big fan of MP-01. He has an amazing robot mode, but a horrible truck mode. I'm a big alt mode guy, so the crazy proportions and indented front on the MP-01's truck mode drove me crazy. I also take no issue with the hollow legs, lack of die cast, or lack of rubber tires on the the recent MP's. I really hope Kobayashi proves me wrong, because I'm loving the current MP line.

Have you tried licking it? ONLY then can you love MP01 the way you should.

Curses, I thought I had purged that topic from my memory.
I never had the chance to get MP-05, and I'm glad for it. Got the v1 MP-09 and was bitterly disappointed! MP-01 has a good robot mode, but as others have said, the truck mode sucks. Never wanted MP-03 or any of the repaints because of the stupid hip kibble, and, lets be honest, MP-03's colour scheme was crap. When I look at MP-03 I see a generic seeker, not Starscream tbh.RAcast wrote:And, eh, I'm not sure how I feel about this. The fellow responsible for the MPs we've been loving is pretty great...and while earlier MPs were good, well I can't say they were great. MP01 having a crap altmode, the original MP Seekers having that silly hip kibble, MP Megatron...yeah, and MP Rodimus... Can we agree that the last two are fairly awful? What with all the mechanical issues the two have.
Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I DON'T want Kobayashi working on the MP line again.

I guess I'm missing some context here, but um... I don't really care. I only ever handled an MP-01 once at a local-ish geek store, and that was all I needed to reassure myself it was a chunk of crap.

Then you must prefer mp03 to mp11 ?

As for MP-01, he was great when released, because there was nothing else that came close, but now days just can't stand up to MP-10.

I will not go into detail about mp10 vs mp01 because that would be silly as there is no clear answer but hopefully no one can deny that due yo its success the masterpiece line was spawned.
Ps as leader of the Binaltech auto bots mp01> mp10 any day

Troll indeed...
And yeah, changing standards have made the MP-01 mold obsolete, but quite frankly I never thought it was that good to start with.Loyal To The End wrote:Mp01 a piece of crap ??? Wow...

I only take that a lot people were willing to buy into it back then because it was passable back then... things have changed since and I wouldn't give that stack of bricks a second thought. Also I can only think of one Binaltech mold that was ever even remotely good, and given how many problems that line had that's not saying much.It Is Him wrote:Don't be a jerk.

Binaltech was incredible all alt modes slavishly recreated and dje cast galore they had a prestigious feel.
So your opposed to nonsense like articulated fingers and pistons ?
There's a difference between gimmicks that hinder the figure and gimmicks that enhance it.
I respect your opinion but I think hat mp01 can still stand to mp10 he just lookscso much better as a display piece and painted die cast looks amazing, he's not in scale with current Masterpieces but neither that's why I have him leading Binaltechs and masterpiece grimlock with classics.

In my eyes, MP10 isn't quiet an improvement over MP1 in term of cartoon accuracy, in someway he's a lot more off than MP1. I'm still not a fan of that leg kibble or the gorilla long arm of MP10. Me personally, in an exception to MP3 which was screw up by the Macross dude, I love every MP figure that was released so far. The two biggest aspects which Hasui brought over to the MP line which our 1st designer Kobayashi failed to do are scale and simplifying the transformation. But in term of design and aesthetic, they both are pretty much good. I would rather let TTomy put Kobayashi back instead of letting some new dude who never done it before. Kobayashi did an amazing job on MP1,8,9, original prototype MP3, so I really have no issue on him. I think everything will be all right once he incorporates scale and lighten up the transformation complication e.g. MP5,9.
