I've got one very important question; if you turn it upside-down, will the wings stay in place?

I feel like there isn't really that much of a possibility of this happening. I Just don't think it's realistic that Hasbro is going to sink actual money into legal action for no benefit to them purely out of spite over a failed crowdfunding drive. It's not even much of a lose if this project fails. You're talking about less than 0.1% of Hasbro's FY2018 revenue here.- 9275 replies

As I said I'm seriously considering the same thing. As to your concern, (not my picture, just my edits) the inner surfaces of the legs (everything in red) physically touch in gun mode but don't actually peg together. the whole thing is held together by a big peg/ socket on the front strap (blue) and a second peg you can't see on the back strap (about where the green arrow is). It takes some effort to pry the legs apart but you don't actually have to pry on the surfaces you'd be painting. as for how strait the gun mode is, It's kind of hard for me to say, I'll try to get a picture or two of mine. a slightly loose, wobbly barrel is an issue on mine though. Maybe I'm weird, but I love this MP-36 mold. for me he's the only MP size megs that gets the head and legs right. I don't find his transformation that difficult either and I'm not even really bothered by the pack view.- 9275 replies

Do you guys think The MP-10 mold is worth picking up for the first time at this point? BBTS has MP-10SG marked down to $80 and it's kind of tempting.- 17116 replies

Honestly, while I liked the Darker gunmetal of Dynastron over MagTen's silver, I'm seriously considering painting the inner legs red on mine. besides the chromed out MP-36+, I think those two are the only ones with metallic paint jobs. Pros for the MagTen (besides the paint) are an extra smirking face, a clear mini-stand for the gun mode and all of the Decepticon insignia are printed on the figure. On the downside, all of MagTen's faces are a slightly pinkish white; The printed insignia are all cartoon style, with the toy chest one being too large and spilling over onto the squiggles; and IMO the electronics in the fusion cannon are the worst of the KO's. The audio quality isn't very good and it only has 3 English lines on the same setting as the transformation sound, (the main dialog setting is all Chinese). As for IT, I understand why people say it's the best but TBH all the things that it offered either didn't interest me that much or were a turn-off compared to the THF. If anyone cares I'll could take some pics and do a write up on my experience with Dynastron.- 9275 replies

Even from the front I don't like it. I don't like how short the arms are, I don't like the shape of his torso and the head sculpt is strait up nightmare fuel. Basically the only part of the bot mode I like is from the waist to the ankles, everything else looks terrible. The Choro-Q alt mode is pretty cute but I kind of prefer realistic alt modes for cars. Also the fact this costs more than sunstreaker and over twice what mp-21 costs is insane. If anything I think I'd rather get the G2 bumblebee.- 17116 replies

Arguably the first transforming robot toy was Popy's DX Raideen chogokin released in 1975, so transforming robots have been a thing for at least 44 years. -

To be fair, Cartoon Menasor's whole look was being complete robot with 4 cars strapped to it's arms and legs. and as for Constructor's pants; at least those were homaging the way the G1 toy combined.- 9275 replies

THF's primary paint color is a darker, more metallic gunmetal color vs IT's grey The sculpt on the damaged chest and head are crisper The scope has a better quality speaker and a brighter purple LED (IT's is red) The sculpt on the Damaged chest and face are crisper on the THF The THF comes with the G1 toy face and squiggle chestplate. Also the THF's are crazy cheap on Ebay right now. I got mine for $60.- 9275 replies

I wish somebody would do a Gerbera tetra custom, I like the way it looks a lot more than the original design.

I think it's kind of unfair to call MP-44 a shell-former. it really downplays what's actually going on with the toy and sort of misses the point of why shell-formers are considered bad. :edit: I guess we'll just have to wait for the version 4.0 made from reprogrammable smart matter that can account for all the bits that spontaneously change size, instantly vanish, and/or just grow out of nowhere.- 17116 replies
