  • @zebruh7490
    @zebruh7490 Рік тому +23

    In order to get Light of Peace to roll better I think you have to tab the shin panels into the two tabs underneath the back wheels. Those tabs next to the wheels are trapezoid shaped so you can only peg them in sideways. It rolls much smoother once pegged in but clearance is definitely an issue with those pegs.

    ...what about KKB MP10 (sized down MP 10 KO), that scales with the smaller figures, yet has diecast parts, the detail and quality of a MP for 60 Canadian, and free shipping, right now? Another suggestion, is to get the odd larger MP, to not get too crazy: like MP Starscream, in jet mode, scales correctly with the earthrise/legacy vehicles. I picked one up (mp 07) used, and it's Jet mode looks way better than ER starscream.

  • @sigerlion8608
    @sigerlion8608 Рік тому +9

    I have several 10 inch Optimus Primes over almost 20 years and the Light of Peace is the best for me. None of the official MPs comes close. You can actually tab the panel at the rear bottom panel wheels flush in alt mode if you push the tab in from its bottom end. The tab is shaped more like Ω instead of ∩, if you get what I mean. It's smaller on the bottom than the top.

    Firstly, MP's are not supposed to be toys and they are marketed towards adult collectors, they definitely are too fragile to be toys in the classic sense. That said, KO MP44 is better than the official, they fixed all the knee issues and it tabs together so much better...oh, and it was $144 versus over $400...
    I have a year of the snake MP10 that was a placeholder until i got MP44 😉

    Light of Peace despite the Q/C is a really nice option for a in scale G1 era Optimus. Not really a fan of 3rd party options as you never quite know what you're getting or how durable it will be in the long run. So far though I only have the MP01 from 20 odd years ago. Despite being dated the articulation was pretty stellar for back in the day. Can't believe it's held up for as good as it has with no noticeable breaks or q/c issues.

    Thanks for the review and a look into that MP-10 repaint. Since your title is "does a CHEAP MP Optimus exist," I think TE-01 definitely belongs in this conversation. It has a similar look to the MS, and arguably a better feel. It does not articulate like the MS and I like the EX paint, but the TE is more sturdy and definitely more affordable at least in today's market. (You can pick up the regular red-white-and-blue TE-01 for 73 bucks and it's a brick. I let my smallest kid play with it as a means of tanking for the rest of my MP collection, and it doesn't have scratch) Its transformation is complex, but like the MS its 2 modes are very clean. The lightup feature ain't shabby either. The question comes down to marginal affordability vs. MS' articulation, that extra bit of cartoon character quality, and easy transformation.

    But halfway through, the seller contacted me and told me theyre gonna deliver me the diecast version instead, free of charge cause they ran out and ive been waiting for months already so i guess thats something to compensate for at least.
    Only costs me around $120

    If your Magic Sqaure Optimus's back tyres don't roll well, that means you have not transformed it properly. There are two small tabs in the part where the tyres are attached and notches in the leg panels where the tabs fit in. If you don't make that connection, the leg panels are bound to touch the ground.

    Having the MP-44 KO and Light Of Peace as my only MP G1 Primes, I highly recommend you don’t get MP-44 KO. Light Of Peace sets unrealistic (well, I guess now they’re realistic) standards that MP-44 KO cannot meet. His heft is great. But everything else is completely annihilated by Light Of Peace.
    Also, the knee joint wearing down over time isn’t the most tragic part of the experience. I don’t want anyone else to suffer the same feeling of devastation I felt when the waist joint broke for the first time. It’s inevitable once you transform him enough times. And it’s a horrifying feeling. I had 2 replacement pieces sent to me and those broke over time, too. That waist swivel should have been a metal piece, everything around it is metal. That figure has traumatized me.
