    No problem. Now, only thing about Amazon Japan is if you have, say, a defective figure, you have to pay to ship it back to them, which could cost quite a bit, but they do reimburse you the cost. I’ve never had to return a figure, but others here have, so hopefully someone here can give you better info than I can.

    Personally, I don't think the helmet is "anime accurate", as it used the CGI model and the eyes are red instead of blue.

    Loads of great pics my fellow mp collectors !

    I love the alt mode of MP-43, so much presence on the shelf.

    The fruits of my labor. Blasting Prime down the hill. This whole diorama was a lot of work though.

    The question from that episode is, what the heck did Sparkplug actually do for a living, To recap:
    Finds him and his son working on an oil rig,
    Volunteers to plant bomb because he's worked in this mine before ,
    Can miracously repair alien robots as easy as working on a car, the only other character to do that was a legitimate mad scientist.
    Tinfoil hat time Spark plug was actually MacGyver, he just never showed his love of hockey.

    Thank you. This perfect job may see another addition to the other side of the newly added addition.

    Thank you. I wish I had Hasbro’s budget backing me up as well. Then I can start playing with different techniques and materials.

    His young son who isn’t old enough to get a driver’s licesne but working on an oil rig. Don’t forget that he took that hit from Thundercracker, bounced off the rock wall, got buried after the explosion and was fine afterward.

    One nitpick—the Doctor McCoy of the group could also repair alien robots that easy.

    But, yeah, Sparkplug could do anything. Except maybe survive until 2005. Dude even had a garage all the way over on the East Coast in NYC.

    Wait, where are the other three hundred steps that make it both overly complicated and prone to breaking?
