    Well, my OP leader has been stuck in a city that is two hours away for about a week now. Time to place bets!

    Thanks mate, that's really helpfull! After some research, those two figures seem to be the best of the bunch, and now I hear they also pair good with each other.

    If you haven’t already, look into the stuff @pezley sells on Ebay, because I think the neck adapter for TE-01 is a must-own. It’s about $15 and is really easy to install. If you have changed the faces, you can figure it out from there.

    I own both of them and unless you’re looking for the better truck-and-trailer mode, I strongly prefer Transform Element.

    Personally, I prefer TE-01 to MP-44. MP-44 is nice in his own way (backpack aside...), but something about TE-01 just makes me feel like a kid again.

    To be honest, the figure was kind of my gateway drug into MP collecting. Once I had a near perfect Prime, I found myself wanting more and more figures to go with him, until now I'm like...

    His terminology betrays his bias.

    I don't know why, but I thought this was the KO MP-44 thread. So forget what I said, TE-01 is the best figure I have ever owned. Absolutely bombproof and pure genius.

    Funny, if you asked me a few months ago what the best figure I owned was, I’m not sure TE-01 would’ve come to mind right away. Now, it definitely does.

    Something about seeing how other figures age so badly and start getting loose and weak even if you don’t touch them has made me realize just how solid and perfect this guy is even after a couple of surgeries.

    Nah, don't regret anything mate, it's no big deal!
    This figure is indeed crazy good. You can definitely play with it around and even kind of torture him, nothing will break after small abuse.

    Toyhax. You want the labels that are white outlines and transparent.

    Edit: Specifically "Cartoon Clear Outlines". The autobot symbols on the second row (second largest) fit perfectly.
