    Look, Megatron, I don't want to be seen as not a team player but I don't think the Autobots will fall for this IMG_20200729_132638.jpg

    Haha, no worries, looks great!
    This was actually what got me itching to pose Prime again. Had to take him out of his crouching before "Never!" stance, too. So congratulations on being able to get me to do that!

    Fantastic pics! And you appear to have quite the game console collection too!

    What roof alignment issue? In the pics I quoted in this post the roof looks perfect to me. My 44 also looks like that. I just got MP-49 and that one droops a bit in the centre of the windshield but you can adjust the centre panel to make it look good. Anyway I think it's possible to fix with some panel massaging.

    It's really hard to get the roof to sit completely flush, and the windshield frames don't completely line up some the top.

    Finally got around to fixing my OP 44 flight stands now that I have a couple Japanese screwdrivers. Only took a few minutes to unscrew the stands and scrape off flashing from the gears and locking mechanism. Much better now. Tons of fun! Hope the new Starscream comes with a truly great stand!

    I don' have MP44 - so i wouldn't know. But the plastic is a little bendy and 'soft'. The roof thing... might be fixed? I've kept it in bot mode since getting it.

    My copy had the season 2 head jammed in and twisted round out of the box - and the 'ear' bent and with stress marks at the base - took a long time to get the head out safely and relatively undamaged.

    Still a great figure though.

    iiincidentally - does anyone know where I might be able to get a 'spare' chrome chest piece for mp36+ toy version Megatron (with the curly line thing, i forget what its called)?

    The only other thing I can think of with the design is getting joints fixed up so they aren't flopping all around, and fixing that roof alignment up. They do that, and it's a perfect figure.
