>>6801743>I didn't hate this because it didn't look like the cartoon, I hated this because it looked like SHIT.Sorry, I don't believe you. There's no way you could think that two tiny bits of red at the bottom of his shins are "dangling shit". If you didn't have the original cartoon models to compare it to, you wouldn't have known any differently. They just look like neat robo ankle-cuffs. I personally prefer them there because it integrates another iconic part of the alt mode into the robot mode, and I think that's always a good thing.
The bigger shame of MP-12 is the gimped ankle articulation, but really people forget that MP-12 was still comparatively early in the MP line, and they were still getting the hang of things, especially at the smaller scale, and I'm pretty sure the budget was much tighter, too. People like you are always so quick to say "they should have just done it better" without any actual insight into the limitations they were working with.
