Lol. Thanks. I'll keep an eye on him.

Good pics. Where can I get that axe?

 

100% REAL LEAKED ROTB EDITION MPM-12

 

For those that really wanted a ROTB kit

 

Get the fuck out of here. [Skull_emoji]

 

Wow.

 

I understand why it's that high with the fact the parts are hand painted, and the amount of hours that went into the kit. However I just can't justify the price, especially since this kit doesn't fix the biggest issue with the figure, the rear end of the truck mode.

If the kit came with brand new legs to make it accurate to ROTB and fixed the rear end of the truck I would've considered buying this. I respect Neolab but I have to pass on this one.

 

Cheap as anything here in the UK

 

3d print axe.
i hate so much the kitty truck

 

Unpopular opinion: SS38 alt mode > MPM-12 alt mode

In my personal opinion an MP should always be better than the Generations version in every way except maybe playability. The MPM alt mode proportions are cooky, weapon storage is silly and there are major gaps in the back. SS38 has a gap in the back also but that can be easily filled in by the rifle and its many times cheaper so a gap is less egregious in my personal opinion on a cheaper figure.

The MPM also has odd hands that can not properly hold up the rifle. There are far too many downfalls for a high end collector focused MPM. I am aware of the upgrade kits however if a figure needs an upgrade kit to be decent or good, i don't buy it. I hope the ROTB alleviates all of these issues.

 

That's not unpopular at all though.
Ss38 has perhaps the best truck we've gotten for figures in recent time, and the biggest flaw about Mpm12 is that prioritizes solely the bot over the alt mode and thus the truck is severely affected.

 

Yeah that’s not an unpopular opinion at all. MPM12 (expectedly) has a much better robot mode than SS38, but that’s because SS38 made sacrifices to the robot for the sake of a better truck mode.

 

I feel like not only SS38 but other toys like GT-03 showed that a pretty close "realistic" truck back is possible on a Optimus with a flat nose truck alt-mode (both coming out not to far apart from each other too), it's just that MPM-12 seemingly got not as much budget compared to many others in the line cause the bot mode isn't exactly without flaws either. Especially for a relatively simple design compared to the Bay designs.

 

My favorite unpopular opinion is half of the unpopular opinions are actually popular opinions.

 

having all the mpm releases, my thought is that this line gets us 85% there but always shafts us with the remaining 15% on trivial details that could’ve been easily addressed. a simple hinge to fold those cat ears would’ve done wonders

 

GT was my favorite Prime for a while, but the longer you look at him, the proportions started to look off.

 

hold on hold the hell on...... THE GUN CAN STORE LIKE THAT?

 

I actually got the takara one recently. Decent toy, truck mode is overhated but the arms are a pain getting in position. Takara one has clear windows and the sun visors are cast in red rather than painted but other than that I believe he's identical.

 

The SS38? Thats how I like to store it, its not official but it fills in the back

 

I missed out on neolabs mpm upgrade kit is there another 3rd party doing add on kits ?

 

DNA design made an upgrade kit for this.
