    I think we can all agree that Shadow Fisher are hitting it out of the park with their MP upgrades. Yes, some QC issues have arised with the MP-30 hip kits, but they're providing an alternative to people that want them and they need to be saluted for that.

    They also seem to be incredible at matching colours to the MP releases, from what I can tell based on photos.

    Their new upgrade kit coming out is a new head for Shockwave with a light-up eye rather than light-piping (I'll definitely be jumping on this one).

    What else do you want to see from them for your MPs?

    One of the team, @erain1984, posts on here, so we can be sure they'll see our suggestions! (disclaimer: no one asked me to start this thread, I'm just taking it upon myself)




    If you're interested in a suggestion, give that post a 'like' - the more likes a post has should help SF easily see which suggestions are the most popular.


    It might look like you're filling the thread up with spam, but it's best to keep different ideas in separate posts. Don't worry about double posts, if you have more than one good idea then post them separately.

    Howabout replacement feet for the seekers that provide an ankle-tilt, like the original prototype had.

    An yeah, just got that upgrade for MP ironhide, so I trust these guys know what they're doing!

    Removing these from the first post to make these suggestions separately:

    I see a few people asking for a new chest plate for Megatron, maybe they could provide a blank one for people that want to use an alternate sticker.

    Any other parts for Megatron? Maybe a new cannon with lights instead of sound? Or both?

    A toy-accurate head for Tracks would probably go down a treat (although so far SF seem to be more interested in getting closer to the cartoon?).

    If they are interested in doing toy parts then they could do a toy-accuracy package. As the MP line becomes more toon accurate I'm sure some people would like some more nods to the toys:

    Loud Pedal head and gun for Tracks. Depending on how far down that road they'd like to go they could even make black limbs for Tracks.
    Toy-accurate head sculpt for Megatron
    Artfire helmet for Grapple

    Obviously short of doing new figures these things could add a toy element to existing releases.

    Good idea, one upgrade I would like is a new head for the seeker mould, I'm actually surprised no third party has gotten round to this yet. It's so easy to replace, it's on a ball joint so replacing it would be so easy, I can't stand the inaccurate TT version with the chin bump and it's rather dark face. An upgrade by fisher would be most welcome, indeed!

    Attachment for Grapple's crane to include an extendable wire/rope to allow us to recreate this:

    Really dig the idea of a toyification-set for (especially the newer) figures. Could include heads and replacement body panels with added sculpted/painted details.

    1000 times this!

    If they would design upgrades for 3P figures too, I'd love new legs for my Quakewave. But I have a feeling this won't ever happen.

    I can't think of anything on the same level as their previous releases, but the following could be nice improvement:

    - larger rifles for Prime and Magnus, preferably with LEDs. LED option for Megatron too.
    - LED heads for the bigger MPs
    - Maybe chunkier feet for Prime?
    - Something to address Soundwave's awkward thigh pivots -- new hips and a waist piece with skirts?
    - another vote for Seeker ankle tilts
