    That's still MP-44 though, even if a KO so seems a moot point to update the poll. TE and MS are individual designs.

    Magic Square, if you're reading, please give us this guy next:drool: I don't even mind if he turns into a tank (it would probably even be preferable, considering we have so many pistol 'trons on the market already).

    I'd be down with this! In fact, if I knew something like this were coming for Prime to square off against, I'd probably go ahead and get him (Prime) rather than just sit here and drool over him!

    I agree. MP-36 doesn't quite do it for me with his supermodel legs and too short torso...

    I had high hopes for that series. Maybe too high.

    Face it. We'll never see an animated incarnation of The Transformers on the same level or better than the G1 USA/Japanese series.
    Hell, look what they did to Thundercats. Someone should be locked up for that.

    IIRC I read that rumors had it that the design file for MP-36 were stolen somehow and that’s why the MP-36 KO is excellent.

    The KO for Sunstreaker I’ve read isn’t very good or noticeable as a KO. My wager would be that a KO of 44 will come but my guess is that it will be more of your KO variety and not the MP-36 KO caliber.

    I suspect that's what happens with all the high quality MP KOs. I have never bought the idea that they are factory rejects. I strongly believe that factory workers are stealing the files and selling them to KO companies. Either that or they use some kind of 3D scanning software.

    At the end of the day, I could imagine that they don't see any difference- they're all toys, regardless of whether they're made by the holy Takara or not. Heck, the KOs are probably made in the same factory as the officials.

    After seeing all the new pics, I've come to a decision: I like BOTH TE-01 and MS-01, and I'm going to get both. And guess what? Both of them together are still cheaper than MP-44.

    Both TE and MS can do a pretty good looking OP stance outside of the shuttle. Can't really go wrong with either of them here. pics by Bugste81 and 晓恶魔

    Replaced Bugste81 with TCrackers better angled pic.

    I don’t know. KOs have been super hit and miss for me except for IT Megatron. All of the Takasa Tony’s, I would have to buy a couple before I could find one that was exceptable enough for me to keep (Datsuns, Van Bros, Bee). The direct KO of Soundwave and the Seekers were complete junk.

    Yeah, Tony is a hit and miss, and the unnamed KOs tend to be poor quality. But the big name KOs like Wei Jiang and Black Mamba are usually reliable.

    MP- with ShadowFishers arms should be in the pics as a comparison. I'd actually say is all three Primes are out of reach, give your MP-10 new life with ShadowFishers add-ons.

    It does fix the gorilla arms, but it adds a bunch of kibble to the forearms... So it's kind of a status quo for me.
