    Just caved and ordered this through Amazon Japan for $360 after being on the fence and satisfied with TE-01 for most of the year. I'm still not 100% sure I'll like it enough to keep it for very long. If not, I'll sell it here for about $330 or so since I do intend to gently transform him at least once. Most of the accessories won't be leaving the box. Hopefully he wins me over in hand.

    I just got my confirmation email from my Capitol One card and they finally got the transaction through. I updated the card again, even though I didn't change or add any other info, like 30 mins ago. Oh well, it seems to have worked since it got approved!! I will have MP 44 no matter the cost!!!! Thank you for your help!!

    Thanks man, happy to be of service :) 

    It clamps around his roof/windshield at 3 points. It's a very secure connection!

    Thank you for your help. It somehow decided to take the transaction finally after I spent a few minutes trying to see if I missed anything on the update. I didn't notice anything different but who cares, as long as it went through!!

    I called my credit card company and they said they wouldn't decline any international charges and they said they didn't show any transaction attempts from Amazon Japan recently, but they told me to keep trying. It seems to have finally worked!!! I wonder how long will it take to ship. Thank you for your help!

    Dang. They could’ve got some great value out of swappable parts. Thanks for doing this and leaving my once lingering questions answered.

    Too bad there's no hidden face underneath like on Wheeljack. Or MP 01 even....he had some sculpting under there.

    Go to page 1120. Someone quoted it there. But the video killed it for me. I love and admire the engineering, but damn.

    Off the top of my head:
    -Outward shoulder, 2 ratchets (although the outer most one could be a very tight friction joint)
    -shoulder front to back
    -Outward hips
    -Hips front to back
    -Double knee joint, 2 ratchets
    -Ankle front to back

    The head is on a ball joint. All the other joints are regular swivel/friction joints I believe.
