    Thanks :)  The 'scale' of the MP cars is annoyingly loose (unlike BT which were all 1:24), they vary around the 1:28-1:30 size so you'd be very lucky to get something exactly the same scale... A better bet would be to pick up a cheap KO MP Alert (or even a junker real one).

    Really though, I agree it would be nice to see a 3rd party put out a kit that re-engineers the front wheel/arm transformation. Heck, I'd rather see a whole original 3P Red Alert, a figure that properly needs replacing, than some of the stuff we get!

    This is really awesome and I'd like to do this myself. I've just started Masterpiece collecting and only have Bumblebee (KO) so far. I'd love all of my MP to be as cartoon accurate as possible. Probably not any way to have part of the door on his foot, and have it say "Chief" on his arm and "Fire" on his leg? Either way, awesome mod and looks much better than the official MP14+.

    Thanks! Yeah the leg transformation doesn't allow for that extra car-side kibble unfortunately. I don't think that's a big issue though.
    Yep!
    Cheers :)
