Mp-10 Is Getting Ridiculous

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

mp-10 would be perfect if he were in scale and had metal.

MP10 is in (vehicle-mode) scale with Alternity and most of the Classics Deluxes, and a bit more in scale with Alternators/Binaltech in robot mode. MP01 and 04 are more in vehicle-mode scale with Alternators/Binaltech.

People seem to forget MP-01 was the original scale for this line, It was later that they did reduce the scale down and pretty much removed just about all the metal, It's called a cost cutting exercise so they could keep their profits up. Don't kid yourself into thinking this was anything else, Has/Tak is a business and nothing more, If this line stops making money there will either be more cost cutting or it will disappear all together.

Yes, and no. IIRC MP01 was designed as a stand-alone piece not in scale with anything, with later MPs coming after the fact when HasTakTom realised there was a market for the line. MP10 and all subsequent MPs have been designed as part of a revamped/rebooted line with a more consistent scale, roughly to scale with MP09 Rodimus in robot mode and apparently MP10 as the 'base' scale character. Cost-cutting and money-grubbing doubtless played their part, but there's a bit more to it than that too.

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.

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.

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).

my one is still standing strong is there issue's with him?

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.

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
