In teh spirit of Merdeka

MP-3 is almost completely plastic.. with the exception of front landing gear. Thus- very light.
Very detailed with airbrushed shading on surface, detailed decor wordings, as well as come with stickers so you could customize.. length of plane about 3 semi-truck MP-1/2 arranged perpendicular (refer to pic...) mounted Megatron on SS. Vehicle mode roughly 1/60 size.. while MP-1/2/4 maybe around 1/24.
MP-4 complete edition cost only around RM400 retail in japan

Actually it's Alert, BTA-01 subaru impreza wrx

Stated retail price usually gets 20% discount or more at some shops..MP3 for about RM200... retail stores at least in my present area.. are not stocking that much MP4... or at least on display... (its higher price and retail stores dont want to take the risk of unsold items..??)

p.s. mp-3 does have a metal rack of sorts holding the body, Based on F-15E Strike Eagle which is a 2 seater..MP-3 only one... but because of the 1/60 scale fits most 1/60 gundam pilots..Kira Yamato piloting F-15E Strike Eagle/StarScream

One of the smoke stake seems bent (left)... suffered by both my mp2 but not mp1... trouble with recasting plastics.. maybe..

Air brakes are all plastics..except for skrews. hinges, front landing gear/wheel and the endo skeleton/rack (a piece of metal 7mm thick) holding the body parts.. Quality.. I say comparable to macross 1/48 which I have. Only 2 plastic colours are used .. greenish/grey and blue (not including head) ..red, white, silver colours are painted on..
As hitler had said... mass produced and paniting of product are based on individual...b.t.w. one of the eyes of my SS was not painted on.

I underestimated the availability of MP-5, Megatron... visited many branches of toy shop and collectible stores in the part of Japan I am in, since 29/3, but just managed to snagged up one of 2 left (one in box and one on display) from one of the multiple toy r us branches in the area.. There are however stacks of MP-2, 3 and 4 left.. MP-3 being the most numerous

Time to get a 1:1 Walther P 38 pistol gun model and paint it to look like Megatron to display with the bot mode MP-5. *Harder to pass airport security...

I beg to differ on these points... only the outer/frame of the feet are cromed metal.. the rest of the legs are all plastic..

and the frame hold the body is also cromed metal/alloy (non magnetic) similiar to starscream. The rest are all plastic.. hips..chest.. arms are plastic,... excluding pegs and skrews..

So.. MP5 just have metal feet frame ... that differs from starscream MP3

with metal prices all gone up..they rely on pertrol chem...(went up also)

p.s. very loose ball jointed kibble on the hips and shoulder easily pops out..

In my opnion MP05 has the worst quality/durability/design that other MPs... with flimsy/easily broken plastic tabs

Only 3 metals exibit detectable/atracted to magnetism... Ferum, Cobalt and Nickle. Ferum being the most numerous component on earth is most often used in any aloy metal(diecast).. Therefore likely magnetic.... However the metal on MP prime/ultra magnus, starscream and megatron is not composed of the 3 mentioned metals.. therefore not magnetic.. A more definate way is to measure electric conductivity as all metal(and some non metals) exibit conductivity. This would involve some paint scrapping for prime/starscream but not megatron as the diecast parts are chromed(another metal).
I would guess the binaltech's and MP's diecast compose of some/mainly of Malaysia most popular metal export.. timah

That said The movie prime is completedly abs plastic (& some rubber) with the exception of skrews and pegs.

UNDICI.. no offence but what u said for The movie prime and maybe the MP Megatron before... concerning diecast parts is just wrong.
