He's a nice figure, if not a little short for the masterpiece line, but nice none the less.
Should be a good start for someone unfamiliar with the line.

 

I got MP Soundwave in the mail today.

This toy is sex, like it completely feels like sex, they should have just called it Sexwave.

 

are there any knockoff's of grimlock? i dont want to buy one...

 

Not yet, The only KO Grimlock being made is an upscaled one:

Masterpiece MP-08X KO Size Preorder | TF-DIRECT

 

cool, what is a decent price to pay for grimlock? and is there a better version then any other or just whatever?

 

try to get the first release from takara or the first release from toys r us. The later reissues are suffering from poorer plastic and molding issues.

 

also just curious but does any1 have pics of kfc citizen stack next to masterpiece ultra magnus? and how would you compare the two? also who would you reccomend?

the only reason i ask is because citizen stack is cheaper...

 

thanks! how do i tell? and whats this i hear about mp-10 starting a whole ne scale for masterpiece transformers? does this mean that everything earlier then mp-10 is horrible out of scale and i should not buy it?

 

What's with the paint chippage on Megatron's head?

 

Citizen stack on the left, mp22 in the centre, dai stack on the right. I love all 3, mp magnus is a bit squat and not very toon accurate proportionally, but the altmode is great and transformation is fun. Citizen stack is nicely proportioned, but taller and very stylized. Whichever you get you will love as they are all great figures.


Heres a pic with the k.o MP10 ultramagnus to show the scale with prime.

The new tru box looks like this

don't buy it as its the worst example of the figure, lighter plastic and clear blue plastic on the chest and Dino collar ruin it, its still nice, but not as nice as any earlier release, it also has loose joints which ruin the posability.

 

thanks for the help i really appreciate it! so does mp-09 scale horribly well with mp-10? and what about the seekers?

 

All the seekers scale well with the current line, I have a mix of mp11 and mp03 seekers, both are scaled the same.

mp09 scales excellently with MP01 and citizen stack as hotrod. With MP10 you can get away with being rodimus, I still have MP01 and rodimus and wont be moving them on any time soon, I think rodimus and bumblebee are the best screen accurate figures in the line.

 

does any1 have pics of the different rd party mp's with official mp's?

 

Which ones?

 

well the fanstoys dinobots, apollyn, the warbotron combaticons and some maybe some mini-bots, also kronos?

also to be even more specific can i see citizen stack, ultra magnus, grimlock with his lifts?, mp-10, mp-09 and star saber together? id also like to see the warbotron bots with a multitude of different mp's and the toyworld throttlebots bumblebee and with a multitude of mp's, plus the dinobots together and the minibots with other mp's!

oh cool thanks!

 

I mentioned in the Apollyon thread, my daughter dropped him from the second floor at our house. Every thing is fine except for the head which suffered massive paint chipping. I

 

just wondering but there is no mp sunstreaker... so does that mean tigertrack is supposed to be sunstreaker?

 

Tigertrack is a homage to the diaclone line, heres an article to explain it better.
