    Does anybody know if there is a KO or even a sticker set that adds the stripe to the truck cab?

    There is not. I looked :(  I really really wanted one. I'm going to just cut some vinyl into the stripe shape, apply it, and then use a hobby knife to cut in all the separations for transformation.

    [Edit] and now I'm wondering if I should just buy a cricut, make my own kit, and throw it on Etsy alongside my toy head. I probably wouldn't make a killing but I'm sure I'd sell enough to at least partially recoup the cost of the cricut, and I need to make a toy style decal set anyway.

    So I was just looking at weathered Prime and thinking will they do Dark Awakening add ons? How cool would it be to have that torn face and left arm.

    Is there any indication that more white legs will become available? I’m not fond of the silver look and just decided I’d like one of this mold.

    So I did well on my annual review and as a treat to myself, I just ordered myself a Johnny Silverpants KO-44 from Show.Z!!

    All the photos on the past five page proved to be too much for me.

    Between FansToys/Robot Paradise Acoustic Wave, Deformation Space Crimson Wings, X-Transbots Toro, and FT Hunk, the last year has seen my collection pivot to a more tooncentric display than I ever even cared to imagine a year ago. So, I think my silver-legged KO-44 will look right at home with those figures... even though his legs will be silver.

    But I never cared too much about being a tooncentric collector. What attracted me so much to Silverpants was how awesomely the light reflected on the legs in some areas, really accentuating the details!

    Silverpants doesn't just strive for cartoon accuracy, it strives for, and achieves visual perfection!!

    Hopefully mine won't split in half!

    What is the sitch on KO MP 44's ?

    I haven't been keeping tabs on it since I saw the first one was un-painted and made no improvements over the official in regards to knees etc.

    I remember the KO market for MP 36 Megatron being full of options with almost every choice being both more affordable and a step up in quality from the official. What's the pick for KO MP 44 if I want a quality toon styles one?

    Also anyone have any idea what I could price my Hasbro MP 10 at? It has no damage but the Chrome has faded and it's not as nice as a brand new one.

    Nah it's more likely to be COVID parts/supply related. Arnt these KO companies ownership hot potato so they can't be tracked/sued?

    Hi guys, merry Christmas, and I wish you a happy 2022!
    Just posted a review of the 2nd version of the KO MP44, it's a good placeholder until Takara Tomy releases a problem free version of the toy, really enjoyed it.
