Mp-10 Is Getting Ridiculous

[Gouki]

That metal everyone is so desperate for is why MP-02 became a floppy unstable piece of crap after a few years. (The only MP I ever got and planned on getting until the I saw Sideswipe).

I'd seen mentions of similar problems, but maybe I'm just very unlucky, or Target got a bunch of dodgy stock (well, I did buy it in Geelong :P), but about two years ago I suddenly found him starting to get looser and struggle to hold himself up. It was very disconcerting. He took up enough room when he was brand new let alone posed awkwardly so not to topple.

Really, Stand Alone? I considered MP-01 through to MP-05 in the same scale as the seekers were always smaller than Optimus or Megatron (Not forgetting Magnus as well) so I would consider that a consistent scale.

The seekers were smaller, but they were never that small, I'm looking at them right now and the seekers don't even come up to Prime's upper torso. Prime looks like a hulking giant robot comparatively, I don't think they gave much thought to scale with each other at all. And then there are there altmodes which are totally of scale.

alt modes are still out of scale (thankfully too) i would hate to imagine an inscale masterpiece superion

then again it would be big then then again it's best no one transforms it

Yeah, I don't have any issues with floppiness with my MP01 either. He has balance issues due to being top heavy, but not from being floppy. It's not a terrible balance issue, but I stand him up the back so he can lean backwards just to be sure.

Thats not true mp-1 was labeled mp-1 implying their were going to be more masterpiece megatron is in scale with mp-1 mp-03 is in scale with mp-1 mp-2 is in scale with mp-1 the only ones not in scale are girmlock the seekers and rodimus from the old masterpieces and rodimus and rodimus was the start of the reboot anyway and maybe the seekers were meant to look that way just soldiers for megatron hell if leaders weren't large then any decepticon would overthrow megatron.

IIRC means 'If I Remember Correctly' - I may well be wrong, but I seem to recall MP01 being designed as a celebration of some anniversary (20th? I forget) of the Transformers line, to be the 'ultimate Optimus Prime' or somesuch. Again, my memory isn't always 100% reliable, but I do seem to recall MP01 being more about "Hey, let's make an awesome Optimus Prime toy" than "Dudes, people would totally buy Bluestreak in this size-class".

You remember correctly. All the toys released in 2004 had that "20th Anniversary" logo on them. Hasbro did the same thing too (different logo).
Examples of Takara's logo:
MP01 (top right hand corner)
Super Link Grand Convoy, Super Mode (top left hand corner)
Binaltech Tracks (top left hand corner)
Examples of Hasbro's logo:
MP Optimus Prime (bottom centre on front, top right hand on back)
