OMG! YES!!!! Always wanted a good version of this figure- well here I go! Wonder if this means we’ll get MP Big Convoy. Maybe MP Megs won’t be the ceiling after all o___o”

Looks nice enough, but [MP Lio Convoy] it's a pass for me.

Who?

Still, I'd be perfectly happy if more MP's were along the lines of this guy, Optimus Primal, and Cheetor. There are fiddly bits here and there, but good representation and still simpler to transform than the horrifying mess that is Dinobot and BW Megatron.

Blame the animation models cheating to hell and back during Beast Wars season 1.

Cheating? I think you mean utilizing quantum physics to inexplicably change from one form to another.

If any ones still in Tokyo, Shoji Kawamori expo at Tokyo dome City. Creator of the vf1 veritech/valkyrie/jet fire toy (amongst other cool stuff) had a lot of photograph able vfs in plane mode (kind of like a butterfly display) and unphotographable designs and sketches (a few included diaclone, - skids, an exo suit and another vehicle) plus a prototype of a vf1.

Much more interesting than hide the new stuff from the public toy fair :p entrance charge 2000 or 2400 yen (watch some anime of the various created series fighting together, projected on a dome, no English language but worth it just for the sdf appearing and how I want to watch all space battle anime going forward, forget this 4k fad :p).

MP Hound's mold looks good IMO. Here's hoping for a toy colors MP+ version to give it the paintjob attention it rightfully deserves.

I like the look of SIEGE Mirage. And his accessory complement. I question the changeup of his transformation scheme, but on the upside SIEGE's ankle tilts beat floppy ball-jointed ones.
