    It looks fine.
    It just looks odd because it doesn't have a neck.
    Add a neck and you'll see it's the right size head.

    The lack of a neck in the pic is because its not properly attached to the neck post (its just laying on the shoulders). As far as the head size goes, agree to disagree

    I love having different size MPs next to each other in a picture.

    That upgrade kit for Ironhide/Ratchet makes a world of difference aesthetically I really recommended it even though it’s small.

    Beautiful bots though, Prime looks amazing. I only have Ironhide, Ratchet and Megatron but I’m getting MP-45 for sure. Looks so neat.

    Yeah I gotta be honest, he sucked at first. LOL

    I was having Buyers Remorse at first while stumbling through his transformation. Then I realized, it's ME, not the figure. I figured it all out, and the figure is an absolute 10. Hands down.

    As for Ironhide, I USUALLY subscribe to the rule of "no add ons" for MPs. I know it definitely cleans him up a bit; maybe I'll look into it.

    Anyone tried TE-01’s blaster in MP-44s hands? It’d be nice to have the LED glow

    I haven't attached mine yet, but isn't there a screw? Probably easy to tighten, no?

    I concur about the Ironhide Ratchet upgrade. I picked up both of them for $20 and took a total of 10 min to do. Look so much better.

    Hey guys DHL question does "With delivery courier" mean the same thing as out for delivery? My DHL is not giving a ETA for day or time. But it does currently say "With delivery courier."

    I’ve gone up and down the scale, I winced after I placed my preorder for Prime after caving as I looked at my already fairly big CHUG collection.

    I’m thinking about selling a few chug stuff and getting into buying the main big bois if Prime doesn’t leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth.

    I feel like he’s gonna take me back to 2009 and ROTF leader Prime. Little me got so frustrated.

    MP-36 was really intimidating at first but he’s a breeze and the end result is satisfying both ways to me now. I really hope MP-44 is the same, and so does my wallet!

    It can mean that or they’re prepping it to go out on delivery that day depending on what time you see that or it means it’ll be tomorrow

    Well shit, I broke mine. I was watching the video and didn't realize the front wheels have to slide on a track before they'll rotate up. I thought mine was just stiff due to being new because his moved so easily, and the bottom part of the red clip holding the blue wheel piece in place cracked off. I've never broken a Masterpiece before. Not sure if I'll be able to fix this with glue or not.

    Fair yeah they’ve gone up, but I think a masterpiece should be a masterpiece and arguably they take those figures up to that standard even more

    Holy shit, pics? I don’t want to make the same mistake. I hope you can fix it dude. That’s the first on the wheel area being fragile to force though
