    Now next time you have some kind of family meeting or lunch with friends of your parents, just tell that story. Their reaction is about the same one I had when I hear my name in @Bots and Bits 's video review!

    Ok, so I tweaked the PDF a little. @pilot00 you may want to update your link in your greek group as previous link is not working anymore. @octobotimus you may want to update the first page post also. There will be updates from time to time if I get a second batch but I wait for @Minimaximus to get his and do further inspection before I dive in. Or if I ever get spare replacement parts from @ShowZStore ...

    There you go: KO MP-44 guide.pdf

    I just learned from my friend that placed the order from ShowZ that I am also in the August 11th group. Explains a lot.

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread to ask this, but if anyone has an intact upper torso of the KO, I'd be happy to buy it from them!

    I need replacement parts for the torso because of bad repainting, so if anyone would be willing to part with theirs I'd be happy to buy it from them!

    Cant sing enough praises to your dedication. You are responsible for restoring a large fraction of my faith to this damned hobby and its people. Thank you.

    Does anyone have, or know where I could get the Autobot logo? I need two the size of what would come with this, doesn't have to be metal. I have a KO MP-22 Ultra Magnus that I want to put the logos on when he is in truck mode instead of using stickers.

    @God Orion If, my MP-44 KO ever shows up, I will add pictures of things I am going to fix that is not listed in your PDF. I know I have already given a lot of info, but I want to make it where everything is covered. I will add the pictures and what I did here when I get mine, if you want to add them to the PDF.

    Best Regards,

    And I'm the friend. And even though it's not my MP-44KO, it still has me feeling a little antsy.

    You hush. :p 


    One thing to it all, the instant an 11 gets theirs in the mail, we'll all be rushing to check for ourselves. So at least there will be an obvious signal for the rest of us if we finally get them.

    That is true. The way you repainted yours reminds me of this

    I am glad I did then. You're welcome bro!
    Have you tried Toyhax? Your best bet if you have already is maybe try TaoBao. About the fixes, please do share your work when you have it in hand so I can update the PDF. That way, it will be a collective work even more! Just hope you 8/11 people get your figures fast.

    I hope they eventually release a painted version of this like the original (ideally with some fixes). Hopefully we’ll get more MP44 KO options like MP36.

    With the recent raid on KO, i think its better to remain your optimism that another company will attempt to KO MP44. i dont know how do KO companies maintain their secrecy, but the raid on WeiJiang has already caused numerous Chinese companies to give more respect to Hasbro's IP. I am just glad that KOs even exist right now

    Yes exactly. For companies like Wei Jiang and Blackmamba, who are making oversize products based on the existing HasTak figures in the market need to really watch their backs. It is truly unfortunate that Wei Jiang does not exist anymore (or for the time being).

    I hope that other 3P companies like Transform Element or Magic Square Toys who are making transformers figures based on their own designs are less affected by this raid.

    Can two of you, that took the plastic piece out of the arm, to put the logo in, maybe send me those plastic pieces? I will pay. I have an idea for them. I need two-four. Encase of a mess up. Please if you are in the states and willing to send it to me, again I will pay for it, send me a message or let me know here.

    Best Regards,
