    MPM barricade actually has a huge flaw.

    The doors should be part of the upper arms like in the movie. Somehow they screwed this up which means the original deluxe, HA, DOTM deluxe, and Studio series did better with the upper arms.

    MPM barricade looks perfect until you bend his elbows for a pose then it violates the movie design.

    I actually forgot about that flaw lol

    So the improvements BA could make include fixing door arms, accurate shoulder wheels, better head sculpt, fixed chest, accurate back, detail to cover the inner forearm window, and because I'm sure the madman would do it, chest storage for Frenzy.

    Man, I wish they could keep up with the MPMs.

    For Jazz, the paint would be perfect if they had a dark metallic grey, which is what he should be, not an actual silver.

    Not much, but there is a piece that extends behind his head a bit. Might be a bit fragile, but I can see BA adding that.

    I know this is the wrong thread and you guys can bash me all you want blah blah blah but BLNadal, do you know anything about the DF DOTM Megatron or is that a scrapped project?

    I have essentially the same preference as you in terms of scale. to me it's the carbots that are too big.... but even now I'm warming up to the larger scale since I like to display it with mega contrux stuff.... but the BMB/Weijiang OS is /way/ too big for 1:32...... they are more 1:24 (HA) scale....

    Here is the Ronald Ulysses Swanson Official Take On Scale (RUSOTOS):

    If I can take a HA human figure and put it next to the Transformer in alt mode and it *sorta* fits, then it *sorta* works for me.

    Yes! 100% behind this. We've had 427 versions of MPM3 released in every conceivable scale but no one seems to be willing to give us either a simple retool for his ROTF/ DOTM looks, or do something special and give us the 70s Camaro in MPM form. Keep them in the same scale and I'll buy them all.

    Okay, there's plenty of wishlist threads out there. Let's keep this one on BA's Ironhide, please.
