    Got him today. Pretty cool. I love when Transformers have goofy attack modes like this

    Robot mode is gorgeous

    Smaller scaled compared to what? They're actually much bigger compared to the G1 bots than they canonically would be in show. And MP BW Megatron and Dinobot are bigger than most G1 MPs.

    If you want the mold and you're not picky on colors, the Dark Amber version is coming out soon.

    I feel horrible resurrecting this old thread, but the hand of my Lio Convoy sheered off the at the wrist. Has this been reported ever before? I'm sure it was my own stupid mistake, but I was just curious if anyone else has heard of this. Thanks.

    ps now's your chance to unfollow the thread if you're still getting summoned in here haha

    Same to me, it was stuck by the paint but amazon gave me a partial refound, better than nothing. Any idea how to repair it? I was thinking about some magnetic paint, but i don't know if it works

    Mine is impossible to fix. I’m going to have to find a junker or just buy a new one :(

    Also much sadness from being reminded that BW MPs are DEAD; FINISHED.

    With an upcoming repaint, it’s not quite dead yet! I am convinced we’ll see more new molds at some point for sure.

    Lio Convoy (along with Burning Convoy and Tigatron) came out in 2020. Dark Amber is coming out in 2023, making it almost three years (based on release dates) since a BW-MP and the fact they're making the next entry a black repaint of all things...

    Also, said black repaint isn't even technically accurate either even if it's supposed to be a "new" character who just happens to share the same colors as a previous incarnation. Right, Takara. Suire.

    Seeing this thread bumped onto the index was mildly ball-aching.

    Far from it. I agree. The repaint speaks volumes that the line will continue.

    With a lot of g1 S1/2 teams moved to mpg subline, we can totally see some maximal and predacons in MP regular line.

    I think we have the same breakage, maybe i'm more lucky with a bit of that conjunction ring that held up the hand.

    If the hands are different hands maybe one of us could buy the other as a junker? But shipping for me is rather insane these days. Korean EMS used to be pretty cheap :(
