    Any words on who designed this?.

    Because these proportions reminds me the heroic proportions from Hasui.

    They said MPM Bumblebee was designed by Yuya Onishi, so MPM Prime could've been by anybody. But I feel like if Hasui had done this, the vehicle mode would've been better.

    Idk, the mp-10 had a detailed cab, but the rest was kinda lazy, not to mention that the crotch was visible all the time.
    This one could be better, but has some details i've never seen in any truck, like a detailed, or more like a REAL hitch is done.
    Is a little detail i know, but the leader class bugs me with the crotch being visible in the hitch, the mpm has a complete hitch to the cab.

    Looks like he'll scale with MP-10 in alt mode at least! (Even if he's much taller in bot mode.)

    I'll bet you this figure that it is. That hitch was designed with a clear purpose. :)

    I'd almost guarantee it is. Why else would it have the same mating design.

    I'm holding out hope that Prime was a bit scaled down in order to accommodate future MPM baddies

    Looking at this, the nose has the same size in both, the hitch in the mpm is larger, but the cab and windows are bigger in the Leader.

    I can't decide if they should have used chrome or not on the truck parts. On the one hand using grey plastic detracts from the "real world" aesthetic of the actual character and makes him look more 1980s cartoon then 2007 movie. But on the other hand chrome comes at a cost and scratches easily.
