    You know, I'd really like a decent Bumblebee. With only the G1 figure and the almost orange MP version, nobody puts out Bumblebee. I'd really like two or even three versions to choose from.

    On the contrary, I think Bii (the gold version, at least) looks a lot better with the other MP Autobots than MP Bumblebee. Especially when you start throwing in the Sunbow-or-bust guys like Inferno.

    All I remember of grimlock was that he was some guy who went too many workouts and was too dumb to realize what legs are and how support needs to work. I really think tt can't do it better than ft.

    Does it have to be MP? Because I'd like to see a nice CHUG cyclonus. I think the universe figure is way too gappy in alt mode.

    Also would love to see a nice Snapdragon.

    Really? Not even stomp? Do you mind if I ask what pick a current release and critique it to what you would prefer? Just curious.

    None of the versions we've had to date do the character design justice properly. Heck I love my Despotron but a good argument can be made we've still yet to see a company actually make a perfect G1 megs.

    I'm onboard with this pick. While I think Spin-out is the better of the two that are on the market now, neither really ails Streaker like they should.

    Arcee and Astrotrain are the most dire situations.

    No one has done any of the combiners near right except for Before & After Engineer General who just needs to be done 2x larger (by a oversizing KO company) & cartoon accurate MP scaled perfection.

    But overall NO ONE has done any combiners correct but that's not fair for me to say bc none have been attempted in MP scale proportions. (But thanks to FT, MP Devs has been announced).
    Astrotrain
    Hot Rod with targetmaster (I am settling with TRU MP-09 which works as I glued the loose bits to stay, screw transforming anyway). And Dx9 Carry is alright but I only have terror.
    I can't beleive people are mentioning Shockwave (Quakewave is great & MP Laserwave has problems but he gets it).

    There is like 3-4 3rd Party versions (with some having officials already) of certain G1 characters in MP & some still don't think they were done completely right which is understandable but I usually make my choice of the bunch available (if not all work for me).

    The only way to get them perfect with no qc issues & kibble annoying bits that we accept or get over, is if they do not transform. Vinyl transformers in MP scale is the way to perfection.

    Who they've done right is a better question for me to answer bc alot of G1 transformers haven't been attempted yet in my scale.

    I'd say only 45% (of the G1 US cartoon alone) robots have been attempted in MP scale (by both 3P & officials). We have a long way to go to get what I want.

    He can't be done in MP scale. All the worse screen shots even the most botched ones, The Dinobots are maybe bigger than the size of wasps compared to him.

    So if you were super rich, you could turn one of your guest houses into UNICRON, :)  That would rule!

    The failing of every design studio to live up to your refined tastes must be single greatest crime in the world of 3P transformers.

    Perhaps you'd like to share some of your renders, turn studies and prototypes- so the rest of us can see exactly what it is we're all missing out on and where all these talented toy designers have gone wrong. I will remain fixed in my seat, brimming with excitement as to the unimaginable, wondrous content you will post here!

    Please don't keep us all in suspense! Your input will literally transform the very landscape of 3P Autobots and Decepticons!

    I'm not happy with any version of Ratchet in any scale.
