Is there a tab solution or transformation step missing that gets the entire figure to come together solidly in the upper body? If not, this is a hard pass for me, which is disappointing, since I have considered the MPM's to be more cost-effective to collect than the MP's (reasonably true statement, and enough people seem to hate on the Bayverse styling that I find them HEAVILY discounted each Thanksgiving). The QC on every figure I've ordered has been questionable or outright disastrous though, with the exception of MPM-7, so unless I see Hastak turn a corner here I'm probably done with MPM for the foreseeable future.
I'm either lucky or doing something wrong (don't discount that as possible!) but I don't have any problems with the bot mode.
Getting this thing into truck mode is a tabby, panel massage disaster mess of frustration, but at least it can get there unlike MPM-4. The instructions for the front of the truck are
, watch a video. It still won't make it fun to transform, or help you get every tab in place securely (especially the back of the roof), but it will save you some time. I find it telling that the stock photos above also don't have truck mode completely secure.
