    72 and Takara. YMMV as they still are not perfect but in general, those runs are safer.

    Emgo has a helpful video for transformation without gaps, and Optibotimus uses his technique in his review as well.

    It pains me to hear these stories .....my Takara mpm Prime can convert with, dare I say, ease?

    This doesn't surprise me though, Hasbro can't get any tabs to ever slot correctly.

    If you can afford the Takara, dump the Hasbro and pick it up immediately. This figure deserves to be enjoyed, because it's that awesome.

    All of them do. It’s unavoidable without modding.

    it’s a viable complaint, I mean I’m in love with the figure either way but I see why it can bother people.

    What color is your set? I ordered MR01B thinking it would be the kit with the silver hands, but what I received are gunmetal.

    Fortunately the gunmetal set works great with MB-11, with the weapons stowed on a newly acquired UFO/BOKU Annular Trailer, including the axe.

    Still very interested in silver hands for Takara MPM-04 though.

    I think I saw that trailer on Ebay. How's the quality and do you know if there is a thread for it?

    The only thread I've found for it: Boku transforming trailer

    I ended up using the UFO thread for more of a reference: UFO Annular Trailer (movie Optimus Prime weapon rings trailer)

    The quality seems fine, keeping in mind I've only had it for a few days. On par with the FWI DOTM Jetpack plastic I think, but I'm no expert, and I've never handled an original UFO trailer to compare.
