    Did you turn the on/off switch to on? There is a second switch which needs to be turned on.

    Not so far, that said I haven't transform it and I do not plan on doing so. Also I don't play around with the figures much, just a pose change from time to time.

    It have ratchets everywhere and seems and feels solid. For the price is a no brainer for me, definitely recommended.

    Yes. opposite right side, up and down slider?


    Oh yeah totally. At $500 not worth it, but at $80 its an amazing piece. Like you though I don't plan to transform it, I got MP10 for that.

    Could be I would have to check it. But there is one slider and one push button.

    Alright just making sure there is not another switch somewhere. I went to the ShowZstore forum inquiring a replacement voicebox. Seems easy enough to install.

    Still no news on a KO trailer with the other missing parts? Wonder why no one wants to make one?

    Also, anyone still sell the original white pants KO?

    My guess because you can get a MP10 trailer and it may not be financially viable to sell a KO MP44 trailer..

    Yeah, I'm afraid it's probably the latter, which is unfortunate. I keep hoping somebody will KO it. I really wanted the whole package - just didn't want to pay $440 for it.

    I'd be down for a MP-44 trailer along with Roller, the gas pump, and the Sparkplug and Carly mini-figs that were included.

    I mean, aren't these tiny works of art? Well, it would still be nice to complete the set.

    Progress on the toy head has been slow but the design is almost done. Need to do a little cleanup, figure out what I wanna' do with the round "ear" things (they're really weirdly shaped on the G1 toy and I'm not sure just how faithfully I want to follow them), and I might mess with the eyes a little more. Then comes the really fun part of solidifying everything, combining the separate pieces and then chopping it into the separate parts for printing while also cutting out a chunk of the back so that it can mount onto the head-base thing that MP-44 uses for his changeable heads.

    Anyway, that's where I'm at so far and I'm done working on it for the day. Sorry for the semi-thread-hijack but I'd talked about the project in here and wanted to share the progress.

    .... in case it wasn't obvious, that "really fun part" was sarcastic.

    @Snaku i didn't take that as sarcastic...I used to think messing around with config.sys, autoexec.bat and typing variations of LH C:\Windows\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE xxxx was fun...I really did. :p 
    nice work btw :D

    I could see a trailer KO work if they added alternate hitches to increase its utility. Suddenly it's not just a G1 trailer for MP44 but a trailer for a wide range of MP Prime figures. That would increase its value to buyers dramatically.

    That is a REALLY good idea. Great thinking!

    I would consider buying that if I can attach it to my MP10. It would be nice to all the goodies that come with the trailer.

    Heh, yeah that was always fun. Merging and splitting parts in blender is less fun because it tends not to work right and then you have to fight with it to figure out what stupid thing is inexplicably keeping it from working. Part of why it's been taking me a while to build is because I was trying to reduce the number of individual pieces I'd be merging and I built pieces manually rather than combining them out of smaller pieces. Plus things never work the way I expect them to on the first try so there's the print > tweak > print > tweak phase which is also not fun.

    Need some help with my silver legged KO. For the most part the thing is very well put together. I just can't get the cab side panels to line up in truck mode. There's some kind of misalignment that makes one side a bad fit. Not sure if it's a manufacturing defect or some part of the transformation I missed.

    Anyone faced this issue that may be able to ID a fix?

    Shit. I had that and fought with it and figured it out but I can't remember what it was. You're right that it's a missed transformation step, though. I just can't tell you which one.
