    While that's probably true, there's absolutely no reason why they could handle the figure during test production and say "this is fine, make millions of it", like, i get they have their compromises, but releasing a figure with those issues it's just unacceptable, regardless of the price.
    It will.

    Soundwave is noticeably taller than Prime and Starscream in the Bumbleverse? Not that whichever scale really matters, but that doesn’t seem right.

    OMG I want MPM Arcee. I want MPM Arcee bikes (they're not twins! the script should've been "Arcee, Twins!" calling for Arcc and the Twins which would be consistent with the scene). I seriously want Arcee bikes that are 1:32-28 scale. Want them now.

    As mentioned, there's a strict budget that Hastak has to adhere to, as well as a timeline. Does it make it better? No. Though, that's why we have 3rd Parties that make the product better. If it's really that bad, make your voice be heard by not buying their products.

    Personally I buy both (well, only those where I see the KOs are much improved like the primes and likely this IH...). I don't want takara to stop making the original figures and I fully agree with the shitting on Takara designers is quite unfair on the guys. We all know the fiasco of original MP05, sometimes ... oft... it's always corporate restriants when products are released that fall short of idealism

    HasTak have freelance designers... and these designers also work with 3rd Party companies.

    So an executive has to adhere to a budget, and as a result forces the design process to be rushed

    Oh, my bad then.

    Watching the review, the changes seem minimal aside from the LEDs and some joint points, i definitely want the BA one more.

    So now that BA is doing Ironhide and they announced it after we all nearly gave up hope, what do y’all think are the chances now of BA modifying MPM Megatron for a future release?
    Personally, I think chances are pretty high now. If this Ironhide hadn’t been revealed, I would’ve remained doubtful
