    I know those aren't final colours, but I think the clear blue on the skirt actually looks cool! :D 

    Now if only they'd get rid of the electronics so that he doesn't look like he's planning a year-long backpacking trip.

    It would be cool to get an OS KO

    You guys have no idea how much can be changed if those electronics are removed.

    If his hips were slightly moved back he'd look better as well.

    The entire waist mechanism seems like a neat idea, but it should have never left the concept stage.

    It leads to the hips sitting too far forward, and to a lack of tiddiness in truck mode. If the hips were redesigned to not have that hidden flap gimmick, they could be condenced in truck mode, cleaning up the truck bed a fair bit.

    Got it.

    My big issue with every mp optimus prime to date, is the lack of proper gas tanks in truck mode

    They're cartoon accurate, in terms of shape.

    Like the original MP44 the truck form feels awful. The backpack in bot form still being also awful... but I'm very excited about this figure. Finally I will have an articulated Prime! for the other things I have TE01... :lol

    Man, for years I've tried to not be that guy that nitpicks one tiny thing in a thread about MPs, but on the other hand I dunno if I'm feeling the yellow arrows, so now I just don't know what to do! :lol 

    I probably won't care when I get him in person, and even if it does bother me it's an easy fix, so my pre-order stays!

    Fuck paint. Paint is severely hampering my joy in this hobby. Every figure that comes out can't be transformed without damaging the stupid paint. Especially that yellow paint on that part of MP-44. I transformed mine last week and ended up with five new paint chips. Three of them were on that yellow. Terrible choice to paint that part. I'm looking forward to this KO for that reason, it will be nice to have a version of this figure that doesn't become worse looking every time I execute the titular defining feature... transforming it.

    Uhg, please don't include all the accessories. Just give me the bot and his gun at a reasonable price and I'll be happy. I don't need the price going up to make room for all of those that-one-thing-from-that-one-episode extras :(

    I get that, but mp 10 wasn't... And I like real looking vehicles... Not even one upgrade kit. Lol

    (Edit/update: April 10, 2020)

    MP-10 wasn't so slavish to the cartoon model to the point of making it a useless truck.

    It'd have been nice for an official freight liner/Peterbilt whatever, truck for Prime... It may have helped the truck mode... It didn't for Hound, but that's another story.
