    The shoulders are not tabbed properly into place either.

    At least that picture shows that the windshield does collapse over the hood sections properly.

    Your argument would be more convincing if you compared the figure to the actual truck used for filming. What if the RotF figure was off in truck mode?

    Yeah it's a step better than the official image since it has the red panels pegged in but not sure they got the upper chest all the way worked out.

    Not turning those fuel tanks into transforming guns just like Buster Prime's is such a lost opportunity. Now they're just useless kibbles & the gun just awkwardly sits on the trailer hitch in vehicle mode.

    If I had to guess why he looks small despite being big, it's likely because while he's the same height as MP-10, he's not as beefy. MP-10 was a pretty thicc dude, and MPM-04 is more athletically proportioned.

    I'm not sure, tbh.

    But his fuel tanks don't actually become the guns in the movie. They never have.

    I'm starting to think that part is somehow stuck in this prototype/early sample and whoever's handling it just doesn't want to move or break it. He got everything else right so it's a weird part to miss.

    Other than that damn this thing's incredible.

    Entirely buying this, the properly transformed photos deliver on the promise. Just need Takara to show their paint job & the Japanese preorders to go up :)

    I think they were meant to be, but they just never removed them from his model when he was yielding the guns.
