MP-47 Masterpiece HOUND: EmGo's Transformers Reviews N' Stuff

[@DJDroz-tz4qc]

The fact that there's no *required* parts-forming is the most impressive thing about this figure.

[@dumpertron1]

Yea

[@blackout6403]

Why is parts forming a issue? I don't have a problem with it.

[@DJDroz-tz4qc]

@@blackout6403 neither do I. But a lot of people do. I guess it depends on the parts you have to remove and how much loosing them "ruins" the alt-mode?

[@bigbear4120]

But the feet suffer severely for it. I personally prefer parts forming to over engendered fiddly transformations.

[@bluemajiic1979]

Takara is pretty amazing when they want to be. 1.no backpack 2.fun intuitive transformation 3.clean look 4.great balance of playability and shelf presence 5.and cartoon accurate 6.Great articulation Bravo Takara

As someone who owns this figure, I'm not sure I would call the transformation "fun" or "intuitive", lol. The rest of it I agree with though.

Takara's way of trolling the fans about scale--"just about every figure will have a Spike, but none of them will be the same size! Muahahahaha!"

[@vincentmarcellino7183]

Why throw your scale away so recklessly?

[@aimanishtik3412]

[@05peilinglu31]

The golden rule for most transformer fans is that robot mode have to be in scale with each other, the rest can be compromised. Like size of vehicle mode etc.

Can't wait for the mini Spike that comes with a jet transformer and then the rerelease of MP Megatron that has a life size Spike to hold the gun and the price is jacked up to like 5000 dollars ;)

[@DrakeyC]

I think I prefer the Fantoys Hound, but I really like the engineering that went into MP-47 to avoid partsforming and find ways to integrate its accessories into it.

[@Foxeen515]

FINALLY, a masterpiece with a rocket launcher that is included in the transformation and doesn't just come out of nowhere!

[@AnhDonoi]

What about prowl?

[@griffinkimball2454]

Anymore it seems Mps and Mp styled figures are trying to integrate mounted weaponry. Making it the rule, not the exception like it was with the Prowl mold. Like how in theory you didn't have to remove Megatron's fusion cannon. I would bet that if they redid Wheeljack or Sideswipe the shoulder guns would be integrated.

[@Foxeen515]

Wait, I need to take off Prowl's shoulder cannons for the transformation. What version are you talking about?

[@griffinkimball2454]

@@Foxeen515 i was saying not having to take off Prowl's was the exception. The other MP cars that came out around that time all had the shoulder missiles be separate pieces, like Sideswipe and Wheeljack

[@harrisonmervine2105]

This figure has the perfect blend of cartoon and real life vehicle mode.

[@EmmieHunny]

Okay the avoidance of partsforming by allowing the spare tire to collapse into the one foot and the gun and gas can to collapse into the other was genius. Cartoon accuracy, minimal kibble, beautiful color. A definite winner. I hope to get him someday.

@@smarrkidd5538 I agree with you there, and with the abomination that is the latest MP version of Optimus Prime. Way too over-priced, I don't care for the sound gimmick, the truck mode looks way too plain, the robot looks like he is wearing a diaper and the transformation looks way too complex. But I don't mind all of the other items that come with him, but that's not enough for me to fork out that much for him, however.

Hound was one of my favorites. to me he seem to have a James Stewart feel to the character. And I still reference the scene when Spike Ask him how he transforms? And Hounds response was "simple Like this." None of that saying Whatsaphuque transform crap.

[@toastedroastedpeanuts]

The wheel folding up into the leg, the holo gun leg storage, and the soft top accessory storage literally left me with my mouth hanging out

[@daddysbabygirl9620]

EmGo you are the man! Followed your transformation, no cracks, breaks, basically everything went smoothly for the most part. One thing I did different though, because I was fearful going into the transformation I would accidentally break around one of the many hinges, I liberally applied silicone lubricant both before transformation and on places during transformation. Maybe it's how the colors are setup on my monitor, and maybe it's the extra lighting but the green paint on yours appears brighter hue and glossy where mine looks darker and more matte...weird.

[@spyredrum3447]

Hound was actually a Mitsubishi Jeep.

[@acoote1701]

Mitsubishi Jeeps were license built CJ-2B civilian jeeps.. based off the MB military jeeps in service, but with a less powerful engine and featuring a tailgate, which the military jeeps didn't have.. at first.

[@risantia]

The FansToys version had the Mitsubishi logo on the grey prototype. I'm guessing TT made this Jeep branded because Mitsubishi no longer has a license for that design. Jeep is very protective of its trademarked grille

Great video. I’m considering getting this figure now. I wasn’t prior to watching your vid. Thank you good sir.

[@Wymorence]

It’s really a tossup between this and Fans Toys’ Willis IMO. This has a *lot* cleaner looking legs and feet, but I much prefer Willis’ head/face sculpt (much less of the pompadour than the MP), the shoulder rocket (the whole armature piece sticks out an awful lot in my eye), and yellow paint jobs (which are far more ‘clean’ looking than the MP’s thicker lines). But given FT’s tendency to be really pricey after the official stock sells out, I couldn’t fault anyone for choosing this over Willis. I was lucky to get mine for retail used in excellent condition.
