    look mpm figures that don't look mediocre or just trash.

    I am legit excited for these two to come out. I still don't see why Megatron has to have red on him at least it doesn't look bad in the pics, If anything, It makes him look cool.

    You can see how the MPM is as tall as the deluxe.

    there's also a full foot or 2 between the 2... as well as 1 being higher than the other... so..... not exactly the same size.

    Hasbro confirmed Jazz to be around 6 inches, which is accurate scale to me. He’ll look great next to Bumblebee and Barricade

    Just realized that the car appears to be missing the orange lights/ accents on the sides of the front bumper. Also, it appears to be shorter than the actual car

    I love what they did with Jazz's back. Looks similar to Peru Kill where the detail is on the underside of the vehicle kibble. I'd like to see them try to implement that more often to avoid ugly backpacks, even through the MPMs don't really have a backpack problem yet.

    hm... looks like they are indeed going to give this guy good strong joints... Like you can already see there are ratchets on his elbows, so he should have them everywhere else... hopefully... (plz, all I ask is for is a metal spring ratchet, I want to hear the sweet sound of a metal echo as it clicks)

    If the MPM jazz has the paint job from the HA Jazz, then it'd be perfect IMO.

    Outside of the blue windows, pretty much is painted just like it. Has a lot more silver than the HA as well it seems.

    Yeah, just not a fan of the blue windows. But, dark blue visors on this guy would be great, along with dark tinted windows to hide vehicle kibble

    Eh, the only thing better about the paint job on the HA is the painted feet and the blue visor. There’s way too much brown on it though. Honestly the brown on the MPM is just slightly too prevalent. But man I would kill for the visor to be blue and the windows to be much darker.

    Yeah, i might just wait for Black Mamba to improve on this, seeing how their KO barricade blows the original out of the water, with paint apps alone.

    From what I saw, hinges for the shoulders and elbows, probably a ratchet at the thighs, and I think a hinge joint at the knee, tho for all I know they somehow made it a ratchet.
