    Honestly, I agree. Mostly from from a financial standpoint, since I don't want to be replacing every movie figure I own with an MPM version.

    Wow! They look like a pile of crap just like with the original combination scheme! I’m guessing these are just fan modes for now? I’m sure someone can come up with a more coherent combination but it’s cool to know that there is potential.

    Well... You don't have to, if you don't want... But that's what Hasbro will you to do...
    I personally hope they will go on with the line cause is the only one I collect at the moment... And is also the best for detailing and size (at least in my opinion)

    I had an extra WWII Bumblebee so I did a face transplant. It looks great on Clunker.

    It is more round, I think that is why it looks better.

    I can see that being a good size for him, though I'm not sure how the Osprey compares to the MH-53 size wise.

    If you don't want post-07 MPMs you don't have to buy them.

    Hard disagree. I think they should continue doing it. However, since it’s been two years since they started the MPM line back up and have only covered 6 out of 11 characters, they should just do the figures randomly. Have an MPM figure for a character from ROTF and one from DOTM and so on and so forth.

    Tfwiki claims that there was leaked Overload packaging art showing that he’s got 2 legs. Did I miss something?

    If canceling the MPM line is a requirement to finishing the 2007 movie cast, count me in on this opinion.

    TFWiki's claiming that Overload's package art got leaked. Any proof regarding that, or any other package art leaks?

    The Osprey is 17 meters long compared to 28 meters for the Mh-53, so to scale right he would be 43 cm.. it is a goodlooking plane trough, I will google the botmode, Incinerator was a conn aswell?

    That... that actually looks better than the stock head.

    Maybe this is just on my own copy, but SS-49 has a bit of a similar issue as figures such as Siege Starscream with the front bot mode chest panel or Siege Ironhide with its side legs panels which tends to pops off without much resistance; the roof panel on my SS-49 likes to pops off without much resistance (But it's not as bad as SS-01). This may just as isolated QC flaw on my copy, so buyers beware.

    A few ways I found that can potentially solve this issue would be either by removing the panels and using a small screwdriver to carefully widen the pegholes, which creates enough clearance to properly house the panels within the hinges, or went for a more permanent solution which is just drill a deep hole over the hinges to mount a metal pin; I really love this figure aside from the aforementioned flaw, so I went with the metal pin.

    [​IMG]

    With the metal pin now securing the panel in place, now I can play with mine and enjoy playing with it more.

    I can’t understand why they didn’t pin it this time. Didn’t they learn from clunker Bee?
