In my opinion, MP-44 is a vast improvement over MP-10.
Ha ha no. Not in my book. AFAIC it's a hideous abomination that must be purged, and there is
NOTHING that would change my mind.
I wouldn't buy that disgusting piece of filth (or its repulsive brethren MP-45 and MP-47) even if Takara bundled in a free Grand Maximus or even a Planet-class Unicron. My opinion of those MPs is so low that I think making reissues of
non-transforming fast food premiums would have been a better use of the plastic.

Not for me.

I think you're mixing up MP-10 with MP-01 there. MP-10 has the superior robot mode but some questionable things about its vehicle mode.
IMO
NONE of the three tries thus far have gotten
either mode all the way right. But comparing MP-44 to MP-10, I say it's MP-44's robot mode that's off. By a country mile. Any improvement in proportion (which I dispute) is outweighed a thousand times over by it emulating the cartoon to the point of dumbing itself down (The full-blown Dery Diaper, the vanishing leg wheels, the flat red and blue, the thighs being gray rather than silver-chrome, the almost-flat unpainted leg vents, the unpainted arm arrows, the fuel tanks being nothing but blocks of kinda-sorta the right shape, etc.), by the excessive complexity required to accommodate all that bullcrap, and by the damage done to the cab's towing bed (it ends up looking worse than the G1 toy's featureless bed). MP-44 is a poster boy for Cartoon Accuracy Gone Wrong. It doesn't look like a Masterpiece to me, it looks like an OSKO
Heroes of Cybertron figure.
AFAIC MP-44, 45, and 47 (which I know from hearing people talk about it suffers in quality because of the vanishing kibble bullcrap) are all worthless.
..Perhaps I should stay out of this thread... Because those three, especially 44 and 45, really grind my gears and make bile rise...
