    If there's an MP10+ it should include a voice chip that says "One shall shite, one shall fall!"

    Hi guys, I want to see what are your opinion on Transformers with electronic circuit. I personally don't like, if they come with battery, just make storing them in MISB harder as need to get rid of battery in case it leaks, :( .

    If it doesn't compromise something more important ie the transformation or articulation I don't have a problem with it. Not including batteries like with FT's Dinobot guns and swords would keep MISB collectors happy.

    Both. I'm not a fan and it's generally a weak point on figure. There's a place for it, but Toyworld and TFC cover their toys in it and often in places which really needs better materials.

    I believe it's seven changer from the Brave series, specifically brave fighter of legend da-garn. Brave picked up where transformers left of in Japan in the early nineties. This specific toy is the Korean version.

    Cool, thanks. What about the toy itself? The wings seem to "crumble" easily.

    The MP Megs transformation video for those who don't want to hunt it down. Pretty complex as Hastak MP goes, but it looks logical and very well made.

    I'm afraid to say I don't know a whole lot more about this figure than what I have already told you. If you go to the brave thread in the toyark section of the board, I am sure the good folk there will be able to tell you all you need to know. Good luck! :thumb

    (Yes, I have silvered Tempest/Cyclonus' non-skirt hip bits and wingtips while I was at it.)

    Also, @incapable hulk, you asked about the stickers and, as it turns out I've made use of about all the Trailbreaker ones and added a pair of proper breaklights to Takara Hoist to go with his orange indicators, as well as adding the X2 toys door detailing to him because though they don't match the Reprolabels stripes they're closer that the original paint detailing (which was also a bit orangey to my taste).

    Having TB out also inspired me to sort out his rims. I'd painted them pre-metallic Sharpie with metallic craft paint but the outer circular area looked a bit globby and not a crisp enough edge, so a bit of alcohol rubbing, some metallic sharpie re-silvering and some black sharpie later and I am now a lot happier. I was even contemplating getting a new Trailcutter but now there's no need!

    I started out only applying the X2 stickers to his shield/canopy as they don't have the metallic sheen of Toyhax's Reprolabels but once they were on it they actually showed up his original paint details' wanness so I thought I may as well go all in!

    This bloody camera phone though, it started flashing as I was snapping these despite enough light on the chrome to blow out the focus! Then it keeled over into night cam despite it still being quite bright, so this is the best snap I could get of the two in bot mode with TB's cheeky shoulder cannon (if only they'd moulded his gunfist for the right arm though, it could have been on the G1-correct right shoulder!).

    I am getting on better with Grapple's transformation to the point where I feel I'll be enjoying him a whole lot more, but this paint wear is pretty unforgivable, it's a bit of a dealbreaker :(

    A whole nother level when compared to some of the later releases like the van brothers and Inferno/Grapple. Interesting.

    You can almost see the painted parts that will wear when you get it out of the box.

    So far for me, the only part that is causing issue is the tube thing which slides in/out of the leg. The right leg on mine was stuck due to paint and took a lot of pressure to free it. Sadly it left grey paint on the orange plastic which I have had to scrape of with a fresh scalpel blade.

    It does appear to have had less love than Inferno :(

    Yes. Seeing it on Cheetor now too. I love what they're doing paint wise with Masterpiece, but it simply does not stand up to repeated transforming. Glad I sat on my hands finishing his write up. It's almost completely changed tone.

    Yeah... nice though it is, that pretty much confirms that it isn't for me. After highly enjoying MMC Kultur I've got my eye on their IDW Megatron next. Considering it actually works out cheaper, will fit better with my collection and (probably) won't take a half-hour to transform... yeah. Starting to become a very expensive hobby, this. Next I'll have to resist the temptation to get IDW Rodimus...
