    You guys keep talking about reviewers you hate instead of talking about MP-44. Bitching about any reviewer is just giving them more advertising because you're literally putting their name out there, therefore widening their reach.

    True. Anybody can research the history, but there will always be more value in “being there.” As always, there are exceptions and younger individuals that will gravitate towards G1, which is great because they’re now at the origin of the journey. What also needs to be remembered is what we had before Transformers hit the airwaves. The 80s was a very tough market for cartoons and the toy shelves. Most toylines faded away and the majority of cartoons came and went. We were also introduced to Japanimation,and amine like Macross(Robotech), Go-Lion(Voltron), Gatchaman(G-Force) and the like hit our shores running. Those experiences are what we carry with us as well.

    I never listened to the guy’s reviews and know nothing about him.All I know is that I love this Prime.

    Mentioning MP-44’s accessories, I love them. I love them all. I want more of them. Everything from that one episode, especially Elita-1 being pulled into the back of the trailer so Prime can take her to Alpha Trion. I want any and everything possible to make Prime and the rest come to life.

    Dont get me wrong, that wasnt an attempt to derail or deter veiwers; that would just be some hate shit. In fact, as crazy as it sounds, I hope they ALL succeed. Everybody should be able to do what they love and not get stuck in some god-awful call center or something. Evolve and succeed.

    My biggest criticism was the lack of knowledge on the reviewer's behalf. Its a lack of professionalism you come to expect from someone who wants you to take they're platform seriously. Sure, he's taking the comic/ class-clown route, but I'm sure he's serious about his craft, or at least I would hope so investing that kinda money. Jim Cramer (Mad Money) & Stephen A Smith (ESPN) are both examples of individuals who talk muuuch shit. Only difference, they can back that shit up with facts! He has none, just regurgitated gripes. This dude feels less Gilbert Godfrey and more Bill OReilly when reviewing MP44.

    So, if you're listening out there reviewers, if you want more "followers" or "subscribers", get on your shit and refine your craft. Keep the comedy, keep the satire, keep the jabs, & keep it honest. Loose the ignorance though and, again, DO THE RESEARCH!!! Nothings dumber than saying "I dont know what it is... so its stupid". Thats simply not good enough.

    If I don’t like a reviewer....I just stop watching. Pretty easy.

    edit*
    I just watched my favorite reviewer, Emgo, to help me through mp44 because I got stuck on a part because I haven’t changed him in a few months

    Exactly! No matter the style of delivery, “I don’t know” isn’t good enough. There are people watching for that very answer.

    I just tried this and it works perfectly! I feel like I've properly transformed MP-44 to truck mode for the first time.

    You're doing it all wrong. You must also convince all the rest of us to hate said reviewer.

    I don't think people watch this kind of format care for answers.

    Weird - I just tried this and it actually made things worse for me. Although, while I usually have problems getting the gas tanks to line up, this time I had managed to transform him so that they lined up and clipped together already (with the knees all the way up). Out of interest, though, I tried moving the knees down to see if that made it even easier, but they just seemed to push the blue panels beneath the knees so far down (towards the ground) that nothing would line up - the legs were at an angle and the tabs wouldn't go into the crotch. So it doesn't seem to work for me unless I'm missing something.

    Do you have the legs 100 percent straightened out. This is what I had to do.
