^ did it come with the shoulder sticker???

I was debating on putting a metallic sticker on the shoulder for this version, but yours looks really good already

 

No, it was a dry rub that I bought of of baba's eBay page some time ago. I was debating between all purple and the traditional purple with white outline, but this one looks pretty good as is.

 

Where did you get the decals for the yellow bits on the waist/front hip skirts? They look really cool!

 

Would love to see a hate plague alley coated Prime. Takara/Hasbro keep ignoring this repaint option. So many silly repaints were released for MP-10....yet no repaint paying homage to the Return of Optimus Prime. C'mon TE, make it so!

 

I'm sure that will happen given that I just bought the V3! Sod's law and all that. Don't think I'll be buying another version of this mould though. Four is enough!

 

I love this figure. Left shoulder front butterfly and right shoulder back butterfly.
But have to un-tab the backpack a bit and don't push the back butterfly shoulder to much. To avoid damaging the truck parts inside the body

 

I would buy another one if it came with a trailer.

 

Will try to buy a KO mp10's trailer if it's available. On the second last picture.. he looks great with the shoulders pull back

 

I printed the design (copied from MS-01) and printed onto acetate that can be printed on and is sticky.

I don't think anyone would disagree it can be posed well but MP44 is on another level. It's not even close.

 

I know it's not as good as mp44. Just that some people said "te01 can't do a great pose because no ab crunch and no thigh rotation" but it still can do a good pose. And cleaner robot mode and truck mode. Mp44 has a huge backpack and has gaps behind the legs and back of the truck is bit ugly. I'm not gonna spend $500 for mp44 that have paint chipping and knee problems. After see the reviews.. I don't want to buy mp 44 this early. I'll wait till a year or more to get the "fixed" ones. IF they fix it. I don't want to be worry everytime I want to transform my figures just because of paint chipping and breaking the knees.
I don't know... takara and Hasbro needs to do something about the "ugle backpack syndrome" thing because now we got a megatron with a ugly backpack.. a new bumblebee also with a ugly backpack.. and now mp44 with not so clean truck bed and back of the legs.
For me LT01 (megatron correct me if I'm wrong)
And TE01 (optimus prime) is the best pair for me
But that's just my opinion.
(Sorry if my English is bad)

 

Nice.

 

I agree!
I also think that TE-01 is better suited for MP-Meg than MP-44. 

 

For me this will always be the ultimate pose:

 

I will wait to the v5 or v6 version, with white waist pieces and longer neck.

 

Man having this figure in hand (V3), even if I knew they would make a better version in 5 months I wouldn't wait. I'd just get another at the time. This figure has some of the more impressive, yet user friendly, engineering I've ever encountered. It is absolutely brilliant!

 

I actually am thinking about that. Fingers crossed for a cell shaded version.

 

What are the différence between the version please ?

 

This info has been covered a lot, but the short version is:

• V1 has die cast knees and a single, white faced 'S1' head
• V2 has the 'S1' and a new 'S2' head, blue nylon knees with more ratchet detents, more detents in the hip ratchets (and they are now blue), more shoulder detents
• V3 includes both heads, but the 'S1' head now has a grey face, the windows are now 'toon' blue, the shoulder have (I think) even more detents, the faction symbol indent has been removed from the left shoulder, the blaster now has a red LED instead of show accurate orange
