    Gorgeous.

    It manages to be a near identical figure yet something that feels completely different.

    Now I need that Shapeways crotch attachment. And G1 gun. And sword.

    @OptimusTimelord , excellent work friend! After transforming MP44 numerous times, I can fully appreciate the lengths you had to go to do that transformation sequence.

    Megs arrived and he is fantastic! Movie style complexity creates tons of panels but they don't look nearly as bad in person. Diaper and squat torso look good in person as well.

    Few gripes:

    Feet are too small/trouble standing
    Back is ugly and not secure
    Scope was scary tight

    I'm not convinced on the toon styling of Prime and Bee but this guy still looks great with the rest of my MPs. Gotta pick up some batteries after work tomorrow. Can't wait to mess around with him some more.

    Cheers bud. It's crazy how well the mp10 mould captures the G1 toy look with only a bit of work. Makes me appreciate it alot more, even if it is still quite archaic by mp44 standards. Which is fitting in his new role!

    Nice setup. Curious I've noticed some copies of mp44 with exposed ratchets on the upper knee and some not in the same standing pose. For the life of me I cant have optimus in this standing pose without having his ratchets exposed. If I ratchet them up so no ratchet is exposed the leg then looks like a double jointed knee and bends slightly forward. Am I doing something wrong here or is there a variance on the knee area bc of the issues in that area? I did fix both my knees, but even before they broke I couldn't get them like your copy is.

    I've added pictures for more clarity.

    The blue knee pads are on their own hinge and move up and down to accommodate knee articulation. You can ratchet the knees into whatever pose you want then manipulate the knee pads separately

    I've tried that and it seems they wont budge any higher. I guess I'll try again but they feel like they're going to break. I will say mp44 is highly durable. I was pressing and bending while fixing the knees and I'm shocked nothing broke or was damaged

    I can also confirm that the knee pads are on their own joint thingy. They only move freely when the knees are not bent. I don’t know exactly how many ratchet clicks before they don’t move freely.
