    @KayODave I was gonna come up with some snappy comeback, but honestly when I toggled YouTube settings today, I thought the setting for Dark Theme was actually Dank Theme....so I admit to my full blown insanity

    What color did you use for the second blaster? I might honestly make that my core color for MPM-04's body

    The only think I am going to add are the forearm parts. Snap on for this version too, but am working on a Transformable version. I am trying to keep it as "OEM" as possible. Basically making it the most simple and easy way I can, just a snap on part.

    Lol. I still bought it at an effing ridiculous price. It's one of my favorite Transformer molds!

    The packaging above belongs to a 1:43 car w/acrylic case from Greenlight Die-Cast. Even after stacking a chubby car atop MPM-3, the figure still perfectly fits in the borders of the 1:43 packaging. I know many commented their initial surprise in person that the figure's packaging was even smaller into a Voyager class figure, but I'm still amazed with how compact and hefty the figure is in car mode

    Also just checked if MPM-3 fits inside the acrylic case. Though the car leans a bit to one side, it actually does.

    Do any of you here with a 72801 Prime have trouble transforming to truck mode without gaps?

    This thing can really hold a pose.

    Any 3rd party companies making a weapons set that includes a fully filled in gun? The hollow bits don't bother me that much usually but it'd be nice to have a completely solid one.
