    Anyone know where I could still get the upgrade backpack?

    I think the term ‘upgrade’ is a bit of a stretch.
    Unless you’re handy with a paint brush then it’s definitely not worth getting.
    I’ve only got one picture of the production piece on Megatron from when I first opened it-
    290450CF-4127-40D1-9C96-9E575D91380E.jpeg As is, it’s a piece of shit purely because of the awful, slopped on, wrong coloured paint job. I initially had an email from TFsafari [the only store that I know of that were selling it] saying release was delayed as they were sending the product back due to ‘quality issues’ and would receive an improved version- and this is what arrived. It’s just embarrassing. Plus I had to chase them up multiple times for it.

    It’s currently just standing on my accessories shelf as I’m more interested in painting 1:6 heads at the moment.

    I guess it has the potential to look passable but, for the cost and considering the materials used and the sheer lack of effort or care that went into the finished product, I really can’t endorse it or encourage that anyone give money to Blackarachnia Studios.
    Beast Wars MPs deserve better.

    It’s my designated MP scaled Transmetal Predacon beast mode shelf- but there aren’t any of those yet so it’s just covered in faces.

    That's a pretty specific shelf. Do you have shelves for all the other permutations of MP scaled beast wars? I wanna see :D

    Well theTransart Ravage is coming. Maybe there's the start. For Transmetal Maximals, Transart also made Primal and Cheetor. Perfect Effect made Optimal Optimus and Transmetal 2 Megatron. They also have the Jiangxing Transmetal 2 Megatron, which is an absolute beast.

    A shame, cause I just got a MP BW Megs and I would have loved to have upgrade parts that give him his CG-accurate backpack and hip guns since I have no real intentions of putting him in beast mode anyway.

    Any backpack "upgrades" on MP-43 would increase the size of it, and therefore be even less accurate.

    Well I mean you can remove the current backpack/hipgun pieces. I'm not asking for new parts that get slapped on over the current parts - I want new parts that replace the current ones.

    Daaaamn this looks incredible. It even has the mutant mask.

    Oops its just a CG render :( 

    Lol I totally forgot you can easily deattach the shell on Megatron, even though its just sitting right on my desk.

    Hello, I recently picked up MP-43. Out of the box, the left peg on the black piece of his chest wasn't inserted into the hole. I tried pushing down so that the peg can insert into the hole but it won't budge.

    Any solution to this? Or should I try to request an exchange? (FYI the neutral face has a dent on his left cheek and the angry face has a spot of black paint on his left cheek). Thanks for any help!

    Maybe as a precaution due to COVID-19?

    Probably to protect his figure.

    I know I wish I wore gloves when handling my Soul of Chogokin Megazord. Now I can see the chrome has fingerprints when I place it in direct light.
