    I'm trying to fix an official MP-44 and I lost one of the hip ratchet springs. I thought it would be more likely for someone to part out a KO than an original.

    Got mine on Tuesday. From Aliexpress. Beautiful figure. But don't call it toon accurate if it doesn't transform like in the cartoons. :rolleyes:  Very solid, nothing loose. Only a few crease mark appeared after transformation but nothing serious. Love the silver because I am a G1 fan. Everything lined up fine. Gas tanks are straight, locked in and lined up fine. No issues whatsoever! :D

    MP-09 Rodimus Prime still has the BEST leg articulation in all of Transformers. :p

    I have read the *.PDF file. Everything pretty much applied on Version 1. The current silver version I had no such issues. A couple drops of superglue on the gun handle will make the tab a bit thicker then Prime will grip the gun perfectly fine. Solid as!

    Well worth the wait and well worth the money! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! :D

    Maybe the silver version is better than the two first versions?

    Is the paint quality on this better than on the official MP-44?

    ;) 

    It's red and blue plastic. Not much paint, most paint are on the silver hip and thighs.

    The gray paint on mine scraped off pretty easily. Is the KO better in that regard?

    Yeah that area is quite fragile. It's way better on the KO to be fair. But the KO has some of it flaws that can't be fixed unfortunately.

    Not sure about the specific size of springs MP-44 uses, but I've replaced multiple springs in bots from my local hardware store. You'll have to clip it to fit of course but should be able to wrangle up something close pretty easily.

    Just got my silver legs version from ShowZ. Bot comes with the battle damaged abs installed. Does it come with the non battle damaged abs?

    Makes me sad that a toy version of this guy doesn't exist. Silver pants is as close as it gets but I wanted a toy head, chrome parts (at least keep the stacks, gas tanks, and grill chrome, even if you're only going to give the pants silver paint), and molded details on his forearms, knees, and toes to look like the toy version.
