    I wonder if Wei Jiang will give it rubber tires. I'm hoping they do Sideswipe or Prowl next.

    I don't get what is wrong with all these companies. REGULAR SIZE, NO HIP FLAPS, NO BUTT WHEELS. Geez.

    So that new scale is actually the old one everyone complained about being too big due to lack of shelf space?

    I think this is the backlash to why they made the carbots in the first place. MP-09 was scaled to MP-01 and then they made a small MP-10. I don't think this really affects the rest of our collections just that the carbots look like minibots. This is something that can keep Wei Jiang busy for quite some time. My MPF-12 Lambor says hi. He may be getting company.

    KBB is ok but I'd prefer BB7/YM do it at the normal size.

    It's kind of insane just how much better this mold looks with these fairly minor modifications. Using the hips panels to fill out the torso, moving the wheels from the butt to the lower back, and somehow moving the van bumper away from his robot mode's midsection (really curious as to how they pulled that one off) all make it look so much more complete and appealing. Well done, Wei Jiang.

    If I have one nitpick, it's that I think WJ should try to find a way to expand the hips or shift them outward as to negate the "diaper effect" created by the legs being so close together. That was a necessity on the original version of the mold thanks to the hip panels, but since those have been taken care of there's really no reason for that weird little design idiosyncrasy to be there.

    This thing looks incredible as a dull unpainted test shot. Im not sure I can handle the final version.

    What's funny is that is Wei Jiang's MPP10 actually taller than Takara's MP-01.

    Personally "bulking out" solves my biggest complaint about MP Ironhide. I always hated how the sides of his torso cut back in from the windshield chest instead of going back straight from the edges. Voodoo has the same problem. That was why TFC was my preferred Ironhide early, they just screwed up the shade of red.

    I always felt MP-10 towered over the carbots to much. MPP-10 with Tanaka Sideswipe looks much better.

    I have no idea what the release schedule is for this, but you could ask TransFusion TFS-01 Upgrade Kit for MP-27 Ironhide
