    MPM Sentinel Prime is number one followed very closely by MPM Lockdown. Blackout rounds out my top three.

    DOTM Soundwave. I'm a big fan of that design, and the Mercedes SLS is a beautiful car

    This has piqued my interest. I don't have any MPMs but Ironhide is my favorite movie design (*looks at profile picture... okay second favorite)

    I've actually been kicking myself lately for not picking up the official MPM Ironhide when it was $50 at BBTS not too long ago. Might be down for this if they can fix the issues it had particularly in the shoulders.

    I just know that no matter how small it is, the truck mode logo saying GMG instead of GMC will bug the heck outta me lol

    That's a very easy fix with a small paintbrush and gloss black paint.

    I've got Jazz so I'm 100 percent satisfied with that since it was my most wanted figure but now I got it so ya know lol

    In all seriousness though if I had to choose I'd really like a figure of one of the Dreads, perhaps Crankcase or Crowbar maybe? If not them than definitely Bonecrusher as I really enjoy his design too. We seriously need more Decepticons in the masterpiece line. If I had to choose at one or two for the Autobots I'd be most sated with one of the old Camaro Bee's be it the AOE one or the TF1 old one. The only other 2 Bots that interest me personally would be Sideswipe and Crosshairs.

    And here’s loof makes crap out of crap episode 2.

    New SS-44 shield, because the stock version is a tiny, awkward, useless thing.

    Hand drawn and cut out with safety scissors (the good pair are contaminated) and some model kit sprue duct taped on.

    Sadly, this connector isn’t as firm and tight as Sentinel’s, but it gets the job done.
    I did that before, but after vigorous shaking, it doesn’t make much of a difference.
    o_O :wtf:

    Thanks to saving up amazon gift cards I received on my birthday, my last two anniversaries in the department, and a gift from a fellow employee, I bought Sentinel, Shatter, Roadbuster, and Scrapper off Amazon for a combined total of $14. :)

    Yes, it shows it in some pictures, but never specifically focuses on it.

    I see people talking about their most wanted mpm, thankfully I got my favorite character in Ironhide already, but I’d love sideswipe, sentinel, or blackout.

    Hey @Shmoptimus Prime didn't you trim the detailing on the head of Sentinel Prime? I'd like to improve the articulation on mine too.

    So for one, the head pops off kinda easily, but this seems to be a case of your mileage may vary. His shoulder pad areas are moveable, but the one on the left pops off sooo easily so that's kinda annoying. My main issue is the hand ball joints for hand switching. On Blitzwing and Bumblebee they were diecast, here they are plastic so I'm worried they might break eventually. That isn't the problem, since it is plastic, it's soooo difficult to switch hands. Removing a hand is easy, but putting a hand on the ball joint is more difficult than it should be. One of the hands, the pointing hand, literally didn't have enough room inside it to be placed onto the joint simply, so I had to get warm water to warm up the plastic in order to allow it to bend and go onto the joint more easily. In the process of putting the point hand on the joint, I broke this wrist piece on him, I have it super glued but back on, it's not even noticeable that it's damaged, but overall the hand exchange system is very flawed, especially when considering they did it better with their previous 2 figures. Still a fantastic figure, just some minor annoyances
