I wished his eyes were bright red to light up his face but that's me.

I agree, would really look good like that.

he has some robot mode poses i would prefer Takara to use on front box...oh well

I guess it could be worse -- they could've used Hasbro's photographer...

Oh! He's still made in China:



That probably explains why Takara is pumping 'em out so fast -- new molds from Viet Nam and old ones from China.

They must have more repaints or retools planned if they're not moving old molds to the new factory, otherwise, what's the point in keeping an old factory open?

I don't see how is this a old mould mp-11 when transformation and parts are different. Not trying to start a debate here and certainly nothing against the numbering either. I just felt this is a total different bot.

At inflated prices!

I guess there's enough old bits for it be made in the old factory, rather than being moved and made in the new one.

Makes sense. It is 80-90% existing moulds.

The only new parts are the nose, wings, and weapon pods. Rest of it (legs, arms, torso) are old moulding.
