Great fix and video, thank you for this! Without reading further comments, I can see you used your own faction label rather than what they should have sent you, or I might have suggested popping open the other shoulder so you can see how it's possible to push out the entire plastic tab and push in the included autobot faction symbol in its place. Anyways, good job with your fix and thank you for sharing!
Thanks brother looks much nicer than the included insignia. Now that looks like a proper mp 44 ko. Wish another ko comes out to iron things out tbh. Great video mate.
I over tighned a screw on mine in the hip ,thigh area out of frustration and totally stripped the thread . So if like me you find yourself getting worked up while working on your TF go take a quick break and come back later
@@juliobermudez2405 ebay. The stickers I got are no longer available, but there are loads of other sellers, just search autobot stickers, logo, insignia. You'll definitely find some. I have seen others that look more like the original mp44's.
Great video, watch the whole thing and I don't even have the figure yet. I'd encourage you to do more. You speak clearly and sensibly, especially considering you didn't have a script or a proper light/camera setup. Thanks for the instructions/advice. The touchups with Molotow look great, too. Just one thing: YOU GOTTA TRANSFORM HIM, COME ON! Also, how is the audio quality in person, does it sound good...or cheap and tinny? It sounded pretty good in your vid.
Hey thanks for the kind words! The audio is good on a couple of tracks, ok on others, and not so great on the rest. The chinese clips sound terrible, not that I can understand them, but the audio is really tiny and scratchy. Most say the audio is better in ko than original. P.s. I ain't transforming him! Though I was tempted the other day!
I finally decided to transform it. Not much fun at all, but not as difficult as I thought it would be. It's out of my system now, so really won't do it again.
Hi, I would first test batteries, then open and check connections. The soldering inside isn't great, so a wire may need connecting. My guide for the light up eye mod will show how to open the voice box. Good luck!
Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue is supposed to be the right color of blue. That's what i got for my KO at the suggestion of someone who used X-14 and posted pictures of their KO's eyes. Looked perfect. Not sure if you need to use a primer on the eyes before painting on the blue so i got some just in case.
I used an acrylic paint called Azul Andrea 70.841 by model colour, but any rich light blue to your taste will work. I also coated them with clear nail polish to protect and give a high gloss effect. Just dont go crazy with the clear polish, just add it to the top of the plastic for the eyes, not adding around the sides, or it will do as it does to fix tabs, by making them thicker. I hope that makes sense!
I paint warhammer stuff.....but im an 80's baby well defo be doing a starscream though.....i dont spray or air brush but ive found vallejo and citedal paints are defo the best brands to use on plastics and resin.....both have a vast range
I just searched on ebay. The ones I got are gone, but these look similar (but less of them) www.ebay.com/itm/162882252722 You may find better, I've seen someone's that was almost identical to MP44. Good luck!
Great mods I intend to do the same if showz ever ships it. Can you tell me if the eyes were transparent? I plan to place an led in the head. I also wanna paint his forearm details yellow but it looks like a pain to disassemble the arms though. Thanks for the vid
Thank you. I hope you get it soon (11th aug?) Yes, the eyes are transparent. I also had plans to put an led inside (to match MP36 head mod) but with the block, space is limited. Would be great to see how you do it! As for the forearm detail your in luck, they are actually translucent yellow plastic, with red transparent paint. So if you remove the paint your good.
@@GreenHad0ken thanks for the info. I see the block is now being used as the method to change heads. I might have to hollow out the block a bit but I have to have it in hand to see.
@@denozed6554 indeed, you will need to dremel and/or file away most of the block (you have 3 blocks including the starscream head), leaving only the ball socket (base) sides and the back. You'll also need to glue the pieces of the head together, so that you can shave the inside down to make more space.
@@GreenHad0ken lol good question. It was a while ago and don't remember. I am guessing for a screw coming out because blue lok tight is a compound you put on a screw to keep it from coming lose. It
@@m1k3mu3ll3r Ah, it was a while ago, sorry😅 From what I remember, if you were to glue the screw, the arm wouldn't move, unless you were to add glue to the point of the screw, if that makes sense! Mine hasn't loosened since, but it gets little attention now. Let's see what issues come with Deformation Space DS-001!
4:40 to go straight to arm repair.

I never received the logo to replace the plate, but I prefer the sticker to the original one they provided (they improved for second release).
Thank you so much my figure’s arm wouldn’t push inwards no matter how much force I used.
If it helped, brilliant!

You did a good job, I actually had the same issue.
Thank you!
Your welcome! Really glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing this video. I wonder if mine has the arm/shoulder issue.. I forgot..
Thanks bro! Great video! Waiting on mine now.
Cheers! Hope you get it soon.
Best I could find! Thanks!
Was this one of the first run of the KO mold? I may just be lucky, but I have the silver leg version, and have not had any problems so far.
Was the first run indeed. And I was quite lucky. Till it split in half Hahaha. But that's another video!

Wow, 1,000 views! Daniel... ya did it!
Where do I get those white transparent Autobot symbols?

Nice
Jesus, what camera are you using?! Video quality is superb!
Using the best dslr in the world! Actually, no I'm not, this was shot on my S8!
Question, what do you do if the voice box isn't working?
Hi, I would first test batteries, then open and check connections. The soldering inside isn't great, so a wire may need connecting. My guide for the light up eye mod will show how to open the voice box. Good luck!
This is gonna help me with my ko version thanks man also what kind of paint did you use for the eyes

Blingotron that’s cool

But tamiya is second best to those 2 brands.....unless your are looking for a specific colour.....but all 3 do mediums so you can mix the perfect tone
What are those insignias called? I want to order some.

@@GreenHad0ken yeah.....might just wait for upgrade head.
I don't see room for a switch and battery. Hopefully you can share your result later.
Would blue lock tight work?
Not sure what blue lock tight is, glue? If so, for which part?
